Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. 15th-century illustration of a sailing ship at the harbour at Modon, the Venetian name for the Greek city of Methoni. The description of the voyage to the Holy Land says that the route went via Corfu, Methoni (Modon), Crete and Rhodes. This illustration is from a 1488 French book titled 'La Peregrination en Terre Sainte', a translation by Nicolas Le Huen of a work by German author Bernhard von Breydenbach.
