Episode 84 - To Go By Asking: Maryjane Dunn's Life on the Camino

The Camino magic struck Maryjane Dunn early in life, when she found herself in David Gitlitz's classroom, the foremost American scholar on the Camino de Santiago. She traveled with him on the Camino Francés as part of a student group in 1979, setting in motion a life's work that resulted in her being awarded the 2024 Aymeric Picaud International Prize for her contributions to the Camino. She is the translator of The Sermons and Liturgy of Saint James as well as The Miracles and Translatio of Saint James, which comprise the first three books of the Liber Sancti Jacobi. In this episode, we discuss her impressions of the Camino in those early days, her research on miracles and the Cruz de Ferro, and the origins of the American Pilgrims organization. www.davewhitson.com www.facebook.com/CaminoPodcast www.patreon.com/davewhitson
