Tracing the Via Francigena and the great pilgrim routes that have wound across medieval Europe for over a thousand years, Mullins chronicles the spiritual, artistic, and human drama of those who walked toward the shrine of Saint James in northwest Spain — from humble peasants seeking salvation to kings and crusaders seeking glory.\n\nMullins writes with the authority of a seasoned art historian and cultural traveller, weaving together architecture, religion, folklore, and social history into a rich and seamless tapestry. He illuminates how the pilgrimage to Santiago shaped the very culture of medieval Christendom — inspiring the construction of magnificent Romanesque churches, generating a vast network of hospices and monasteries, and forging a surprising unity across a fractured continent. Lyrical yet rigorously researched, this is a work that leaves the reader standing at the foot of the great cathedral in Santiago, breathless and wondering whether the journey, after all, was about arrival — or something far more elusive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609713610971,"sku":"2026100010831-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e19da240-c580-4515-89a8-600ff1cfd603.png?v=1791764799","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010831-secondhand-the-pilgrimage-to-santiago","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
