Over 80 manuscripts survive of Robert’s Historia Iherosolimitana, making it the most successful account of the Crusades in terms of readership, say Kempf and Bull, but modern scholarship has
paid little attention to it. They present a Latin edition based on the Paris manuscript, an early and perhaps earliest member of the middle-to-late 12th century northern France group of
manuscripts. The 65-page introduction discusses the historical and literary context, authorship and date, manuscript transmission, previous editions, the base manuscript and editorial
principles, and a list of manuscript. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
