cannot but prove useful to discuss in its pages the question of the advantage or disadvantage of gutta percha. J. L. SISSON. Edingthorpe Rectory, North Walsham. * * * * * REPLIES TO MINOR QUERIES. _Pilgrimages to the Holy Land_ (Vol. v., p. 289.).--I beg to inform W. M. R. E. (Vol. vii., p. 341.) that, though I have never met with a printed copy of the "Itinerary to the Holy Land" of _Gabriele Capodilista_ (the Perugia edition of 1472, mentioned by Brunet, being undoubtedly a book of very great rarity, and perhaps the only one ever printed), I have in my possession a very beautiful manuscript of the work on vellum, which appears to have been presented by the author to the nuns of St. Bernardino of Padua. It is a small folio; and the first page is illuminated in a good Italian style of the fifteenth century. It is very well written in the Venetian dialect, and commences thus: "Venerabilibus ac Devotissimis D[=n]e Abbatissae et Monialibus Ecclesiae Sancti Bernardini de Padua salut[=e] in D[=NO].--Ritrovandomi ne li tempi in questa mia opereta descripti, Io Gabriel Capodelista Cavalier Padoano dal su[=m]o Idio inspirato et dentro al mio cor concesso fermo proposito di vistare personalmente el Sanctissimo loco di Jerusalem," &c. This MS., which was formerly in the library of the Abbati Canonici, I purchased, with others, at Venice in 1835. If W. M. R. E. has any wish to see it, and will communicate such wish to me through the medium of the publisher of "N. & Q.," I shall be happy to gratify his curiosity. I do not know whether there is any MS. of Capodilista's Itinerary in the British Museum. W. SNEYD.
