This is the second volume on medieval Antioch which is meant to become a

series of studies on less well-known aspects of the city's eventful

history. Its multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-linguistic character

pose more than one problem which needs further investigation. Unknown

material, new interpretations of texts, translations of unknown or less

accessible texts accompanied by commentaries, are the main focus of this

series of publications on Antioch. This volume reponds to this initiative.

Various contributions highlight unknown or understudied aspects of this

history. A translation of a Logos of the Greek theologian Nikon of

the Black Mountain is presented by Wim Aerts. An almost unknown anonymous

enumeration of descriptions of the castles of Nureddin, written in Arabic,

was made by Tevfik Buyukasik. The description of Edessa in Abu

al-Makarim's History of the Churches and Monasteries of Egypt and some

neighbouring Countries was translated by Clara ten Hacken. The Greek

Reconquest in 969 influenced Byzantine art (Alexander Simansky). In the

same period Northerners from Scandinavia are signalled in Antioch (Krijnie

Ciggaar). The Latin conquest of 1098 and its aftermath are discussed by

Thomas Asbridge. Jochen Burgtorf focuses on the Hospitaller Lordship of

Margat. Tasha Vorderstrasse concentrates on contacts with China, Mongolia

and Armenia, while Balázs Major presents material culture when discussing

a mill in Valania. In the article by Laurence Delobette crusaders from

Burgundy appear on the scene after 1268. The various articles stimulate

further research and discussion on the various aspects of the history of

this important and influential city in the Eastern Mediterranean.
