arculfとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Arculf (later 7th century), was a Frankish Bishop who toured the Levant in around 680. Bede claimed he was a bishop ("Galliarum Episcopus"), who, according to Bede's history of the Church in England (V, 15), was shipwrecked on the shore of Iona, Scotland on his return from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and was hospitably received by Adamnan, the abbot of the island monastery of Iona from 679 to 704, to whom he gave a detailed narrative of his travels, from which Adamnan, with aid from some further sources, was able to produce a descriptive work in three books, dealing with Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and other places in Palestine, and briefly with Alexandria and Constantinople, called De Locis Sanctis ("Concerning the sacred places"). Bede came to know of this and spoke about him in his Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation. Many details about Arculf's journeys can be inferred from this text.
