Description
Book SynopsisThe second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Crusades is an accessible one-volume overview of the medieval crusades to the Middle East between 1095 and 1291, with substantial information on crusades in southern France, Italy, Spain, and the Baltics that take the timeline into the 14th century.
Trade ReviewThis 2d edition expands upon the solid, original dictionary first published in 2003. The rationale for a 2d edition was to bring the bibliography up to date and to expand the number of entries. These new entries are either to expand coverage on specific crusades or events, such as the Baltic Crusades, or to reflect changes in current scholarship about the Crusades. The new edition admirably succeeds in strengthening this single volume source about the Crusades. The bibliography is helpfully divided into broad topics, such as specific crusades or geographic areas. . . .This updated work is recommended for academic libraries. * American Reference Books Annual *
