        Abstract
        With the expansion of trading routes, pilgrimage, and missionary endeavours in the 13th century, Latin travel literature emerged as a distinctive genre like never before. To highlight the importance of this genre, this volume outlines and explores current and future research trajectories with a focus on Latin travel literature from c. 1200–1500. Combining digital, codicological, literary, philological, and anthropological approaches the volume analyses the ways in which these texts were produced, distributed, received, read, and how they can be interpreted. It argues for the importance of re-evaluating these texts and revisiting their contents in light of new methodological and theoretical approaches.
         
        Mit der Ausweitung von Handelsrouten, Pilgerfahrten und Missionsreisen im 13. Jahrhundert erlebte die lateinische Reiseliteratur einen nie gekannten Aufschwung. Um die Bedeutung dieser Gattung aufzuzeigen, präsentiert und evaluiert dieser Band aktuelle und zukünftige Wege der Forschung. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der lateinischen Reiseliteratur von ca. 1200 bis 1500. Durch die Kombination digitaler, kodikologischer, literarischer, philologischer und anthropologischer Ansätze wird untersucht, wie die einzelnen Texte verfasst, verbreitet, rezipiert und gelesen wurden. Zugleich regen die Interpretationen dieses Bandes dazu an, vor dem Hintergrund moderner methodischer und theoretischer Ansätze zu einer Neubewertung der lateinischen Reiseliteratur zu gelangen.
