Notes

First edition of the Peregrinatio published from a manuscript at Arezzo, discovered by the editor, and ascribed by him to St. Silvia Aquitana; a revised edition appeared the following year as fasc. 20-30 of the Studi e documenti di storia e diritto, anno IX. The authorship has since been ascribed to a nun, Aetheria (Etheria, Eucheria) mentioned by a Spanish monk, Valerius (7th cent.) in a letter to the Fratres bergidenses. Cf.
