Reihe: The Cambridge History of the Crusades

Bringing together the foremost experts in Crusade history, this three-volume work offers a definitive account of the medieval crusading movement and its legacies. Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, with full references to primary and secondary materials and a strong emphasis on material culture, this collection will appeal to a wide range of readers from undergraduates to specialists and will act as a lasting point of reference. Together the volumes not only describe the military campaigns themselves, but also the religious and cultural context in western Europe, the foundation and expansion of the crusader states, and the fate of crusading as the Middle Ages came to an end. These volumes also examine the impact of the Crusades on the many cultures and religions - Muslims, Eastern Christians, Jews, pagans - with which they interacted, considering these relationships in terms of conflict, co-existence and mutual influence.
