Making the East Latin
Multilingualism and History
We often hear that our world 'is more multilingual than ever before', but is it true? This book shatters that cliché. It is the first volume to shine light on the millennia-long history of multilingualism as a social, institutional and demographic phenomenon. Its fifteen chapters, written in clear, accessible language by prominent historians, classicists, and sociolinguists, span the period from the third century BC to the present day, and range …
Travelling in time and space
Composed in the 1280s by a Dominican friar, Burchard of Mount Sion’s Descriptio Terre Sancte remained an influential account of the Holy Land for centuries. The impact of this text is reflected not only by the large number of extant manuscripts, but also by its rich printing history. And yet, although the Descriptio attracted considerable scholarly attention in the last decades, its shift into the world of print has not yet been studied. The aim …
Ethnographic writing in the kingdom of Jerusalem
It has been argued in recent years that Western ethnographic curiosity and writing grew significantly during the late medieval period. Surprisingly, the Latin East has remained almost completely neglected within this scholarly context. The present paper aims to fill this lacuna by exploring a discourse within the kingdom of Jerusalem which focused on customs and ways of life of non-Latins and which was based on observation rather than hearsay and…

Spiritual and practical instructions for pilgrims
This contribution is dedicated to the preliminary presentation of two previously unknown Latin texts, which provide instructions for pilgrims, and are included in the same fifteenth-century manuscript. The first text is devoted to spiritual instructions while the second lists practical ones. After brief introductory notes, the two texts appear in English translation and in their Latin original with a commentary. As this seems to be the first publ…
A Medieval Hebrew Adaptation of Two Crusading Texts
A Hebrew manuscript in the Parma Palatinate Library, produced in the fourteenth century, probably in Provence, contains adaptations from Latin/Romance texts, including two that originate in the Christian crusading tradition. These two sections consist mainly of historical and geographical data relating to the Levant. The Hebrew adaptations, although selective, are religiously neutral, reflecting the redactor’s keen interest in the history and geo…
Benoit d'Alignan and Thomas Agni
Focusing on neglected evidence concerning Benoit d'Alignan and Thomas Agni's activities in Outremer, this article sheds light on the question of whether the Latin presence in the Levant contributed to Western acquaintance with Oriental Christianities. It shows that Benoit's Tractatus super erroribus includes information regarding Oriental Christian beliefs and practices which must have been collected during its author's two sojourns in Outremer. …
