See also:DANIEL (DANIL) , of See also:Kiev, the earliest See also:Russian travel-writer, and one of the leading Russian travellers in the See also:middle ages. He journeyed to See also:Syria and other parts of the See also:Levant about 1106-1107. He was the igumen, or See also:- ABBOT (from the Hebrew ab, a father, through the Syriac abba, Lat. abbas, gen. abbatis, O.E. abbad, fr. late Lat. form abbad-em changed in 13th century under influence of the Lat. form to abbat, used alternatively till the end of the 17th century; Ger.

abbot, of a monastery probably near See also:Chernigov in Little See also:Russia: some identify him with one Daniel, See also:bishop of Suriev (fl. 1115-1122). He visited See also:Palestine in the reign of See also:Baldwin I., Latin See also:- KING

king of See also:Jerusalem (I Too-1118), and apparently soon after the crusading See also:capture of See also:Acre (1104); he claims to have accompanied Baldwin, who treated him with marked friendliness, on an expedition against See also:Damascus (c. 1107). Though Daniel's narrative, beginning (as it practically ends) at See also:Constantinople, omits some of the most interesting sections of his See also:journey, his See also:work has considerable value. His picture of the See also:Holy See also:Land preserves a See also:record of conditions (such as the Saracen raiding almost up to the walls of See also:Christian Jerusalem, and the friendly relations subsisting between See also:Roman and Eastern churches in Syria) peculiarly characteristic of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time; his See also:account of Jerusalem itself is remarkably clear, See also:minute and accurate; his three excursions—to the Dead See also:Sea and See also:Lower See also:Jordan (which last he compares to a See also:river of Little Russia, the Snov), to See also:Bethlehem and See also:Hebron, and towards Damascus—gave him an exceptional knowledge of certain regions. In spite of some extraordinary, blunders in See also:topography and See also:history, his observant and detailed record, marked by evident See also:good faith, is among the most valuable of See also:medieval documents See also:relating to Palestine: it is also important in the history of the Russian See also:language, and in the study of See also:ritual and See also:liturgy (from its description of the See also:Easter services in Jerusalem, the Descent of the Holy See also:Fire, &c.). Several Russian See also:friends and companions, from Kiev and Old See also:Novgorod, are recorded by Daniel as See also:present with him at the Easter See also:Eve " See also:miracle," in the See also:- CHURCH

There are seventy-six See also:MSS. of Daniel's Narrative, of which only five are anterior to A.D. 1500; the See also:oldest is of 1475 (St See also:Petersburg, Library of Ecclesiastical History 9/1(386). Three See also:editions exist, of which I. P. Sakharov's (St Petersburg, 1849) is perhaps the best known (in Narratives of the Russian See also:People, vol. ii. bk. viii. pp. 1-45).
