Malta and Patmos Islands in the Holy Land Voyage
In a digressive travel letter the author notes Malta and Patmos near Crete and Cyprus, mentions their populations, and recalls St John’s exile. The journey then moves to the Sea of Galilee and Tiberias, describing topography, biblical sites, and Jesus events, with Nazareth, Samaria, Jacob’s Well, and the Samarian temple on Mount Gerizim. The writer ends by delaying the rest of the Holy Land account to a later letter.
