One of the oldest surviving travel guides, the Codex Calixtinus was compiled in circa 1135 by a French scholar and monk named Aymeric Picaud to aid pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela: "There are some bad toll-collectors near the gates of Cize, in the village called Ostabat at Saint Jean and Saint Michael Pied de Port, they are frankly sent by the devil" .
I googled images for the Codex
Calixtinus! Wow!!!!
Tried to copy google link over, but sadly can't get it to work! Remember though googling can be highly addictive, and I've already lost a few hours just looking at this wonderful book!!!
