Exploring the Rebirth of a Chronicle
The author makes the following additional points, which do not undermine the argument and conclusions, but nevertheless should be corrected.On page I provide a table with a hand analysis of the manuscript in question (Bibliothek der Erzabtei St Peter, Salzburg, b.IX. ), where I state that documents relating to the struggle against the Ottoman Turks and the Hussites are all written by the same hand.This is also suggested in the most recent catalog…
Exploring the Rebirth of a Chronicle
The chronicle of Robert the Monk is a well-known source for the First Crusade and the most copied First Crusade narrative in the Middle Ages. Though the number of copies decreased after the twelfth century, it increased in the fifteenth, with most of these later copies either being preserved in German-speaking lands or originating from there. It is possible that a First Crusade narrative was needed in fifteenth-century German-speaking lands becau…
Plenary Indulgence for the Personal Participation in Crusades to the Holy Land as Presented by Crusade Preachers
This article discusses one of the main phenomena of the crusading movement: how preachers of the crusades to the Holy Land made the crusade indulgence attractive to would‐be crusaders. Since a plenary indulgence for the participants of the crusades is likely to have been introduced by the papacy at the beginning of the crusading movement in the eleventh century, this was used in crusade preaching throughout the whole period of crusading to the Ho…
The Conquest of the Holy Land by Ṣalāḥ al’Dīn
A modern edition of the so-called Libellus de expugnatione Terrae Sanctae per Saladinum has been long awaited by researchers in the history of crusading to the Holy Land. This anonymous chronicle, formerly attributed to Ralph of Coggeshall, was last edited in the nineteenth century. Those editions were not based on all four manuscripts which are currently known, did not contain any manuscript description, and did not have any critical apparatus i…
Jay Rubenstein, Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream. The Crusades, Apocalyptic Prophecy, and the End of History
Certains aspects eschatologiques de la croisade ont déjà fait l’objet d’études notamment dans la fameuse monographie de Paul Alphandéry et Alphonse Dupront (La Chrétienté et l’idée de croisade, Paris, Albin Michel [L’Évolution de l’humanité, 38 et 38 bis], 1954). Dans ce livre, ce sont surtout les présages, les miracles et les prodiges qui sont habituellement vus comme des reflets de l’esprit eschatologique des participants et des contemporains d…
The Cutting Edge of the Poet’s Sword
These two monographs both explore perceptions of crusades in literature contemporary to them. One originated as a doctoral thesis by Osman Latiff on the ways in which Muslim poetry served as a stimulus for anti-Frankish jihad. The other, by David A. Wacks, focuses on some important pieces of medieval Iberian literary fiction related to the crusades and conversion. The question of Muslim perceptions of crusading has been already well studied by va…
God Wills It! Supplementary Divine Purposes for the Crusades according to Crusade Propaganda
It is well known that the crusades were represented as wars sanctioned by God, who helped the crusaders. At the same time, according to crusade propaganda, the liberation of the Holy Land was most probably not the only purpose of the crusades. Some sources allow us to affirm that the papacy and preachers had the idea that God would allow the crusaders to settle in Outremer only when they would merit it by the absence of sin. Furthermore, in the s…
Les Byzantins vus par les chroniqueurs de la Première croisade
This paper is devoted to the problem of the image of the Byzantines in the chronicles of the First Crusade. While we are familiar enough with the portraits proposed by the chroniclers of the crusaders and Muslims, the first generally being accompanied with praise and halos, the second “demonized,” we know very little about the image of the Byzantines, though they were widely represented in the chronicles, because most of the armies chose to trave…
