Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Felix Fabri, Vol. 2: Circa 1480-1483 A. D.; Part I
We received refreshment from this pit, for from it there breathes forth an odour, which tempted us to linger long over our kissing the place. They also brought' to us an arm of St. Barbara, which we kissed. This is the sweet spot whence grew that sweet wood, worthy of divine honour, which, though they knew it not, the ancient idolaters prefigured by a type; for when they determined to make an image of God, they carefully decided that it must not be made of gold, silver, or stone, but of wood, as being the most fitting material. This we read in Eusebius, De Evaizgel. Praepamt, Book III., ch. Iii.
