Ces deux extraits du célèbre Guide de Saint-Jacques attribué à Aimery Picaud, de Parthenay, qui l'aurait écrit dans les années 1130 soulignent deux faits importants: le role majeur du Somport dans les relations avec la péninsule ibérique ou Compostelle était devenu avec Rome et Jérusalem le troisième grand pèlerinage de la chrétienité; la méfiance envers des populations considérées comme exotiques et marginales pour des Européens venus du nord de la Loire ou de l'est du Rhone | Translation - English
Chapter 7
These two extracts from the famous "Guide to the Pilgrim Route of St Jacques", attributed to Aimery Picaud of Parthenay, which would have been written in about 1130, underline two important facts: the key role of Somport in communications with the Iberian Peninsula, where Compostella had become, after Rome and Jerusalem, the third largest Christian pilgrimage and then the mistrust that the Europeans, from north of the Loire and east of the Rhone, felt towards a people they considered foreign and peripheral. | | French to English: La Force de l'Intuition Malcolm Gladwell | Source text - French
