Anton Pelchinger (died 18 September 1465) was a Bavarian Benedictine monk, artist and writer. He was born at Hofen, near Bad Aibling. He entered Tegernsee Abbey in 1442.[1] There he served as Kapellmeister, chorister, organist and teacher of music.[2] He also worked as a manuscript illustrator at Tegernsee and at Andechs Abbey. His illustrations are of high quality.[1] In 1458 he went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, departing from Venice. He wrote a conventional description of Jerusalem and the Christian holy places. He does not include any personal details, but identifies himself as a professor of Tegernsee. One manuscript of this work is in the Austrian National Library in Vienna (no. 3012) and there may be another in the Bavarian State Library in Munich.[3]
