Che si reca 'I bordon di palma cinto。
〃In regard to the word bourdon; why it has been applied to a pilgrim's
staff; it is not easy to guess。 I believe; however that this name has been
given to such sort of staves; because pilgrims usually travel and perform
their pilgrimages on foot; their staves serving them instead of horses or
mules; then called bourdons and burdones; by writers in the middle ages。〃
