Summary "Itinerarium Curiosum" by William Stukeley is a historical account written in the early 18th century. This work serves as an exploration of various antiquities and remarkable curiosities across Great Britain, emphasizing firsthand observations rather than secondary sources. It aims to encourage curiosity and respect for Britain's rich heritage, especially its ancient sites and artifacts. The beginning of "Itinerarium Curiosum" outlines Stukeley's goals for the treatise, which is to provide an account of his explorations and the antiquities discovered throughout Great Britain, particularly Holland in Lincolnshire. Stukeley emphasizes the value of firsthand observation over theoretical accounts, reflecting on his travels and the insights he has gathered about the land's past. He engages the reader with essential ideas about the importance of understanding local history and antiquities, establishing a framework for the detailed observations and findings he will present in subsequent sections of the work.
