We travelled then to Hofstatten, I presented my pass and there they
let me go. We came next to Lohr, where also I showed my pass and
they let me go. Then we came to Neustadt and showed our pass and
they let me go by. Also I paid 10 pf. for wine and crabs. And we
came next to Rothenfels, and I showed my pass and they let me free.
We stayed the night there and spent 20 pf.
Early on Wednesday we started off and passed by St Eucharius1 and
came to Heidenfeld and then to Triefenstein. We next came to Hom-
burg where I showed my pass and they let me go on; then we came to
Wertheim and I showed my pass and they let me go off, and I spent
57 pf. We then went on to Prozelten, here I presented my pass and
they let me go.
Next we went on past Freudenberg, where I once more showed my
pass and they let me go, and we came to Miltenberg and stayed the
night there. And I showed my pass and they let me go, and I spent
61 pf.
Next day we came to Klingenberg; I showed my pass and they let
me go; and we came to Worth, thence past Obernburg to Aschaffenburg.
Here I presented my pass, and they let me go on, and I spent 52 pf.
From that we journeyed to Seligenstadt, from there to Steinheim, where
1 showed my pass and they let me go on. We stopped the night there
with Johannes, who showed us the town and was very friendly towards
us. I spent there 16 pf.
So early on Friday we travelled to Kesselstadt, where I showed my
pass and they let me go on. Then we came to Frankfurt and I showed
my pass again and they let me go, and I spent 6 white-pfennigs and
11 Hellers. I gave the lad 2 white-pfennigs and I spent 6 white-pfennigs
at night. Also Herr Jacob Heller2 gave me wine at the inn. I have
bargained to be taken from Frankfurt to Mainz with my goods for 1 fl.
2 white-pf. I also gave the lad 5 Frankfurt Hellers, and we spent
8 white-pf. for the night.
On Sunday I travelled by the early boat from Frankfurt to Mainz,
and on the way there we came to Hochst, where I presented my pass
and they let me go on. I spent 8 Frankfurt pf. there. Thence we
travelled to Mainz. I have also paid 1 white-pf. for landing my things,
14 Frankfurt Hellers to the boatman, and 18 pf. for a girdle. And I
took passage in the Koln boat for myself and my things for 3 fl. I
spent also at Mainz 17 white-pf. besides. Peter Goldschmidt, the
Warden there, gave me two bottles of wine. Veit Varnbiiler3 also in-
vited me, but his Host would take no payment from him but insisted
upon being my host himself, and they showed me much honour.
So I started away from Mainz, where the Main flows into the Rhine,
and it was on the Monday after Magdalen’s. I paid 10 Hellers for meat
in the boat, and for eggs and pears 9 Hellers. Here too Leonard
Goldschmidt gave me wine and birds in the boat to cook on the way to
1 The monastery of Mattenstadt, of which some ruins may still be seen opposite
Hafenlohr.
