Food in the Frankish Levant: A Case Study of Cultural Borrowing
The Crusader movement called for the liberation of the Holy Land and the expulsion of non-Christians. Yet in reality, the Frankish states of Edessa, Antioch, Tripoli and Jerusalem, established as the result of the Crusades, were to become heterogeneous societies, with a plurality of ethnic and religious groups ruled by a Latin Frankish elite. In recent decades, historians, art historians and archaeologists have turned much attention to the study …
Frankish Bread and Baking Ovens in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem: Between Conservatism and Adaptation
THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES THE TOPIC OF BREAD and bread-making in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. Drawing on archaeological evidence, historical sources, and medieval illuminations, we consider three features closely: the types of bread consumed by the Franks, the baking ovens' appearance and modes of operation, and the organisation of Frankish bread production. We then set out to position Frankish baking in its proper cultural context between western…
Viticulture in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem in the Light of Historical and Archaeological Evidence
Archaeological remains of viticulture in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem (AD 1099–1291) are quite rare, and those that are present are incomplete. In contrast, textual sources show extensive evidence of grape cultivation, wine production and wine consumption. Based on integration of archaeological and historical data, the focus of this article is on characteristics of Frankish grape cultivation and wine production in the East. By doing so, its goa…
Early Zionists and crusader castles: Perceptions and interpretations of crusader material culture, late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries
Scholarship analyzing Zionist perceptions of historical remains in Palestine focuses mainly on biblical and Jewish remains. This article analyses responses to material culture which did not fit neatly into Zionist discourse. Crusader remains were a prominent and visible physical presence in the country’s cultural landscape, yet they related not to a glorious Jewish past but to a time considered traumatic in Jewish history. This article studies th…
Franks, locals and sugar cane: A case study of cultural interaction in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem
This study examines influences and cultural interactions between Frankish settlers and the local populations in the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem through the prism of sugar cane, a local food crop unfamiliar to many crusaders and Latin settlers. Combining textual and archaeological evidence for sugar cane cultivation, production and consumption, the article explores the extent to which the Latin population – a numerical minority and the ruling elite…
Reviving Forgotten Jewish Heroes: An Aspect of the Early Twentieth-Century Zionist Perception of the Crusader Period in Palestine
To date little attention has been paid to the perception and representation of the Crusader period in Palestine in works by Zionist scholars and activists in the early years of the British Mandate. To help fill this void, this essay analyzes the work of Ben-Zion Dinur and some of his contemporaries as it relates to Jewish armed resistance and heroism. These scholars revived Jewish heroes from the Crusader period in Palestine to convey Zionist ide…
The Hospitallers: From Land to Sea—An Examination of the Hospitallers’ Naval Activities in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries
The purpose of this article is to examine the regional and inter-Mediterranean deployment of the Hospitallers in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and their use of port towns along the Mediterranean shores. These ports were essential for the communication between the Order’s headquarters in Jerusalem, and later in Acre, and its commanderies, for the shipment of goods and manpower, and for the Order’s involvement in regional and trans-Mediterra…
Servus pauperum Christi: Los servicios de los Hospitalarios a los peregrinos en el Oriente latino, siglos XI-XIII
Two major features characterized the religious revival of the eleventh century: a growth in pilgrimage to holy places and a new emphasis on apostolic and evangelical activity. The combination of the two lead to the creation of one of the most original religious institutions in the East: The Hospital of St. John, established some time before 1071 as a hospice for poor and sick pilgrims coming to Jerusalem. This paper analyses its origins and it ac…
Servus pauperum Christi: Los servicios de los Hospitalarios a los peregrinos en el Oriente latino, siglos XI-XIII
Dos rasgos principales caracterizan el renacimiento religioso del siglo XI: un crecimien-to de la peregrinación a los lugares santos y un nuevo énfasis en la actividad apostólica y evan-gelizadora. La combinación de los dos lleva a la creación de una de las instituciones religiosas más originales del Este: el Hospital de San Juan, establecido poco antes de 1071 como hospicio para los peregrinos pobres y enfermos que llegaban a Jerusalén. Este art…

The Crusades and the Jews: Some Reflections on the 1096 Massacre
In the year 1096, in the early stages of the First Crusade, Jewish communities, mainly in the Rhineland, were attacked and massacred by bands of crusaders. These events, which have been considered by historians as the first major persecution of the Jews in medieval Europe, aroused a wide‐ranging discussion. This study explores the most recent trends in the historiography of the 1096 massacres while examining the different methods and the approach…
