the text is included in Early Travels in Palestine, Bohn’s Antiquarian
Library, Messrs. GeorgetBell and Sons :
“ And the Mount of Synay is clept the Desert of Syne, that is
for to seyne, the Bussche hrennynge : because there Moyses sawghe
oure Lord God many tymes, in forme of Fuyr hrennynge upon that
Hille ; and also in a Bussche1 hrennynge, and spak to him.”—p. 58,
ed. Bell, p. 42.
“ Also behynde the Awtier of that Chirche is the place where
Moyses saughe oure Lord God in a hrennynge Bussche.”—p. 59,
Bell. p. 43.
“And a lytille aboven is the Chapelle of Moyses, and the Rochi
where Moyses fleyhe to, for drede, whan he saughe oure Lord face t(
face.”—p. 62, Bell, p. 44.
Maundeville attempts no explanation of the miracle, leaving the
interpretation to the theologian and mystic.
Verses 347—354 contain the exposition of Gen. xviii. 2. See also
Hebrews xiii. 2. The same passage is presented in Maundeville’s
description of Hebron (see Halliwell):
“And in that same Place was Abrahames Hous: and there he
satt and saughe 3 Persones, and worschipte but on; as Holy Writt
seythe, Tres vidit et unit adoravit: that is to seyne; He saughe 3
and worschiped on."—p. 66, Bell, p. 47.
The same general theme is discussed by Orrm as follows, verses
19,385, etc., cf. ed. of Holt:
“ Nan mann ne mihhte neefre sen
Allmahhti; Godd onn eipe,
Wi]q> erjdic e^he off erpli^ flaesh.
19,429. Whatt Abraham, whatt Moysses,
Ne seejhenn >e33 nohht Drihhtin Godd

1 Maundeville reports the exhibition of the bush which was “burnt and was
not consumed, in which our Lord spoke to Moses,” shown at the church of St.
Catherine, see edition of Bell, p. 43. “And thanne thei schewen the Bussche,
that brenned and wasted nought, in the whiche oure Lord spak to Moyses.”—
Halliwell, p. 60.
