Fourh Edition, The first edition in English had appeared in 1703, and the supplementary material was added to the third edition of 1714. Maundrell was the chaplain of the Levant Company at Aleppo from 1696 to the time of his death in 1701. This account is the first description of Baalbeck and Palmyra by an Englishman.
In 1697, Henry Maundrell (1665-1701), chaplain to the "Levant Company" in Aleppo, and fourteen companions, went on a three-months Easter pilgrimage to Jerusalem. They travelled from Aleppo, passed through the Syrian and Lebanese coastline to Acre and from there, via the Jezreel valley and Samaria to Jerusalem. The book documenting the journey was published after Maundrell's death and is considered a reliable documentation of Palestine.
