Robert the Monk's History of the First Crusade (eBook, ePUB)

Historia Iherosolimitana
Redaktion: Sweetenham, Carol

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Robert the Monk's chronicle of the First Crusade was one of the most popular such accounts in the Middle Ages. As such it gives an invaluable window onto contemporary perceptions of the crusade, as well as providing new and unique information - and all this in a racy style which on occasion would not disgrace a modern journalist. This is the first translation of the Latin text into English.
