Summary "Fratris Felicis Fabri Evagatorium in Terrae Sanctae, Arabiae et Egypti Peregrinationem" is a historical account produced by Carolus Raeticus in the mid-19th century. This work chronicles the journey of Brother Felix Fabri through the Holy Land, Arabia, and Egypt, detailing various locations, cultural insights, and natural observations encountered along the way. At the start of the narrative, the author describes the departure from Maffrach into the desert, detailing the challenging and mystical landscape marked by shifting sands and thick mists. The passage narrates the overwhelming emotions of the travelers as they reach the edge of Egypt, where the stark contrast of a fertile land filled with water and life emerges against the backdrop of the desolate desert. As they approach a village called Matharea, situated at the border of the desert, they encounter both the physical beauty and historical significance of the region, mentioning the revered garden of balsam and the wondrous fountain associated with the Virgin Mary. This setting unfolds rich historical references, including tales of local leaders and the agricultural bounty that awaited travelers coming from the harsh desert.
