The Pilgrimage, a poem by the well-known scholar Konstantinos Manassis, is one of the most interesting texts of 12th-century literature, as it gathers all the characteristics that make this particular era distinctive, combining them in an original and unique manner.

The generic experimentation that characterizes the poem, with ideological and aesthetic elements that refer to the contemporary epistolary and novel production of the poet, its relationship with the theaters of the imperial family and wealthy aristocrats, the intense egocentrism, and the emotional charge of its creator, are all issues that concern the present study.

The main part consists of the critical edition of the text, which differs in several points from the earlier one by K. Horna (1904). The edition is accompanied by a prose translation, as well as comments of a factual, interpretative, metrical, and lexical nature.

The study concludes with three indices (of proper names, passages, and words from the text) and a map of toponyms.
