- Title
- Relation of my voiage into Italy with my Lord Northumberland, 1681 Nov-1682 Jun
- Abstract
-
Manuscript on paper containing the narrative of a member of Lord Northumberland's retinue, possibly his chaplain (Wickail?). The author describes "the Churches, the Villas and Gardens, the Pallaces and Antiquitys" he saw on the journey, with particular attention to Turin, Milan, Bologna, Florence, Naples, and Rome. He copies many funerary inscriptions and records his impressions of libraries, including the Ambrosian and the Vatican, where he was shown the letters of Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn but complained that "the books are all shut up...and they have no catalogue to help you."
In Rome, the author attends Holy Week services, visits the catacombs and and records accounts of miracles. In Naples he explores the Pausilippo and Mount Vesuvius, described as "standing like a sugar loaf in a kettle" of its surrounding ashes. Separated from Northumberland's retinue in Padua to look after an ill friend, the author concludes the journal in Avignon
