He shows how the codex is intimately related to the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela and to the religious, literary, and artistic traditions associated with it. The \u003ci\u003eLibro\u003c\/i\u003e was produced by a team of compilers, who chose and translated specific French works with the goal of providing edification and encouragement to Spanish-speaking pilgrims. Spaccarelli elucidates the \u003ci\u003eLibro\u003c\/i\u003e's ideology of pilgrimage, which includes such concepts as guest\/host theology, egalitarianism, and the matter of \u003ci\u003eimitatio Christi\u003c\/i\u003e. In addition, he proposes a series of structural elements operative in the \u003ci\u003eLibro\u003c\/i\u003e that bind the nine works into a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unc Department of Romance Studies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614676697239,"sku":"9780807892657","price":3133.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780807892657.webp?v=1775095456","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-medieval-pilgrims-companion-reassessing-el-libro-de-los-huespedes-escorial-ms-h-i-13-9780807892657","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
