Felix Fabri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Felix Fabri - often erroneously referred to as Faber - (born about 1441 in Zurich, Switzerland; died in 1502 in Ulm, Germany) was a Dominican theologian. He left vivid and detailed descriptions of his pilgrimages to Palestine and also in 1489 authored a book on the history of the Swiss, entitled Historia Suevorum.

He made his early studies under the Dominicans at Basle and Ulm, where he spent most of his life.
