  ITINERARIUM EGERIAE - Introduction
Egeria, on the other hand, was away in the Holy Land for more than three years, and, after having reached Constantinople at the end of her travelogue, she was in no hurry to return home.
Egeria's account of her pilgrimage is full of Vulgar usages, and, therefore, her Latin reveals the Romance languages in embryo to a much greater extent than does the language of self-consciously literary writers.
Egeria knows of Edessa on account of its monks and hermits, its shrine of St. Thomas, and the letter that Christ was supposed to have written to one of its kings.

 The Holy Sepulchre - Egeria
The bishop who met Egeria at Edessa was impressed by the fact that she had come "right from the other end of the earth" and she herself compares the colour of the Red Sea with that of the "Ocean".
And, if Egeria intended to do no more than pass on to her sisters as accurately as possible what she had seen, we may forgive her haphazard syntax and also, it may be, begin to appreciate her rich vocabulary, and her eye for the pointed word and phrase.
Egeria was steeped, if not in the Latin classics, at least in those of the Church, and her language often echoes that of the Bible or of formal prayer.

Egeria's last whereabouts were on the world of Pangar, once occupied by Ra's army as a base of operations.
Egeria had been poisoning her young, making them essentially vegetables, because she believed once the Pangarans had discovered the flaws in the experiments, they would give up.
Egeria, finally free, discovered what the Tok'ra had become after thousands of years, and as her last act, saved the Pangarans from the inbred defect, restoring them all to health.

Egeria’s writing is mutilated at the beginning and at the end; two further lacunae in the body of the work (respectively in chapters 15 and 25) are due to the loss of an outer bifolio in the second of the three gatherings which make up the manuscript.
The comparison with the Rhone indicates that Egeria had direct personal knowledge of that river, its greatness, and the force of its current; the fact that this comparison occurs in a diary/epistle, signifies also that Egeria’s knowledge was shared by her fellow nuns to whom her account is being sent.
Egeria, and her fellow nuns too, could have known the Rhone region, even if they were not born there; at least as far as Egeria is concerned, the places described in the Itinerarium show in a concrete way her passion for travel, even for adventure.

 Egeria Desription -- March 28, 2002
The firefall Egeria will be based on much of the classic Roman sculpture form, yet because it uses copper and steel instead of marble, will also reflect our modern industrial world, and because it incoporates fire as an artistic element, it also reflects the aesthetics of Burning Man.
Egeria will pay homage to this master work, not only because it is water and fire, but also because it will be built out of copper.
I want Egeria to be grand and spectacular, and to give this year's first-time attendees the same breath-taking experience that The One Tree gave to me for my first year.

 Egeria
We aren't sure of the author's name (different copies of Valerius' letter call her Egeria, Etheria, or Aetheria); we aren't sure where she came from (perhaps from northwestern Spain, perhaps from the Rhone area of Gaul); we aren't sure of when she made her trip (although the strongest evidence suggests the early 380s).
The part of the manuscript that is extant begins after Egeria has been in Jerusalem for three years, where she had come from Constantinople; it ends during her description of the liturgical practices in the churches at Jerusalem, apparently written after her return to Constantinople and before she continued on her travels.
Dietz describes what is currently known (and conjectured) of Egeria, and presents her not as a conventional pilgrim but as an independent "religious traveler." Quoted passages are given in Dietz' translation, with the original Latin in the notes.
