Beskrivning
This book is the first critical edition of the Latin poem Historia Vie Hierosolimitane by Gilo of Paris and a second anonymous author, translated for the first time into English and provided with a detailed historical and linguistic commentary. The poem illustrates how quickly a theological and cultural understanding of the first crusade developed after the events themselves and shows how soon the leaders of the crusades came to be regarded as `heroes'. The poem is important because of its similarity to other narrative treatments of the crusades from the early twelfth century and its links with the vernacular Chanson d'Antioch.

very welcome ... it makes more easily available the most substantial account of that expedition to have been written in Latin verse ... the text is a reminder that narratvie strategies and authorial preferences have an important bearing on how we are able to retrieve the crusade both as an historical event and as an historiographical phenomenon. The edition is excellently produced and presented, the translation is clear and readable, and the editorial apparatus is full, informative and learned ... Grocock and Siberry are to be congratulated on producing a very good edition.
