Felix Fabri (also speltFaber; 1441 – 1502) was a SwissDominicantheologian. He left vivid and detailed descriptions of his pilgrimages toPalestine and also in 1489 authored a book on the history ofSwabia, entitledHistoria Suevorum.
He made his early studies under theDominicans atBasel andUlm, where he spent most of his life.
"Faber" is the Latin nominative singular form of his surname. He is often referred to as "Fabri", the Latin genitive singular, i.e. the possessive form, because his name appears this way in the title of his book, "Fratris Felicis Fabri Evagatorium in Terræ Sanctæ, Arabiæ et Egypti peregrinationem".
One of Fabri's companions during his 1483–84 pilgrimage to theHoly Land was Hungarian poet and clericJános Lászai (Latin:Johannes de Lazo).[1]
In Jerusalem, he metBernhard von Breidenbach.[2]
A fictional account of Fabri's journey to, and time in, the Holy Land is found in the bookA Stolen Tongue, by Sheri Holman.
The memoirThe Book of Wanderings (2015) by Kimberly Meyer is an account of her pilgrimage with her daughter, retracing Fabri's journey from Ulm to Alexandria.
