Itinerarium Regis Ricardi

The Itinerarium Regis Ricardi is a Latin prose story about King Richard I of England and his participation in the 3rd Crusade from 1189 to 1192. The full title is Itinerarium Peregrinorum et Gesta Regis Ricardi , the work was created in the 12th century.

Because verses by Galfredus de Vino Salvo on Richard are added to the work, it was copied by the copyist of the Cambridge manuscript (Corp. Christ. Coll. 129, 13th century) and then by the editor Thomas Gale ( Historiae Anglicanae scriptores quinque , Oxford 1687) attributed to Galfred and then classified as a report of a contemporary and possible eyewitness on the basis of this attribution. More recent research has corrected this attribution and has followed the attribution to a Richard, canon of Holy Trinity in London, attested in some manuscripts and in Nikolaus Treveth ( Annales sex regum Angliae , until 1307) and classifies the work as one around 1222 compilation developed from various sources. At least two lost reports are believed to be sources today.
