The ancient Itinerarium Terrae Sanctae Anselmi Adournes militis (1470-1471), is a work dedicated by the refined and cultured Adorno to the King of Scotland (James III). The Adorno was a pilgrim belonging to a high European elite, Genoese for distant family origins but rooted in the Flemish society of Bruges. A text that reveals the refined European culture of the Adorno intertwined with the typical narration of pilgrims' tales. The Itinerarium can also be read from the point of view of a book-manual where information was recorded for the use of merchants given the Adorno's close relationship with the world of international business.
