Summary:
Mention of the church roofless at Abramiri, presumably from a passage lost in the MS of Egeria's itinerary of AD 381-384, as recorded in a guidebook compiled 1137.
According to Wilkinson, p. 190n2, "The “church without a roof” must surely be the Ḥaram el Khalil, but it is here strangely called the “house” when it actually contained the tomb of Jacob."
