Many times, historical documents and literary narratives give us only general information about the actual conditions on the ground. We learn, for instance, that in the Middle Ages groups of knights, merchants, clerics, pilgrims, and many others commonly traveled over land or used ships to reach their goals. We are told, perhaps, how many days it took to reach the goal, but further details escape us. The narrators relate when they departed, what major cities they touched on their route, how long the voyage or travel lasted, and then they immediately turn to other aspects unrelated to the travel itself. However, there is hardly any information about how the travelers found their way without the use of detailed maps or a compass, about where they stayed at night, how they financed their trip, how they overcame linguistic problems, what kind of food they consumed, how they cleaned their clothes, or whether they were attacked by robbers, abused by toll officials, hassled by other authority figures, about whether they were plagued by vermin, insects, or were attacked by wild animals, or whether they suffered from sickness, hunger, and thirst.
