Opis

First published in 1999, this edition of Walter the Chancellor’s account of the wars of the Antiochenes against the Muslims in the early twelfth century is a vivid first-hand account of a dramatic yet less well-known period in the history of the northern Crusader states, and an important balance to the more usual focus on Jerusalem.

Recenzje

'...a worthy addition to Ashgate’s Crusade Texts in Translation series...the translation gives wider exposure to a little-known chronicle that is important for military history.' Journal of Military History, Vol. 64, No. 3 '...a welcome volume...' English Historical Review, vol. 115, no. 463 '...a useful tool for scholars which makes a neglected source much more accessible to a wider readership.' History, Vol. 86, No. 282
