Abstract


The article analyses the report by Nicolas Lanckmann and Jacob Motz of the trip they undertook in 1451 to Lisbon in order to accompany Eleonore of Portugal, future wife to Frederic III, to Rome. Special importance is given to the role safe-conducts and Jacobean traditions play in the text, and the motives for taking the Northern route through the Iberian Peninsula and for diverting to Santiago de Compostela during the time of the "Año Santo" are examined. The report's wide circulation during the XVth and XVIth centuries underlines the ways one formed an image of the Iberian Peninsula in the countries of German tongue.
