Excerpt from The First Crusade: The Accounts of Eyewitnesses and ParticipantsWhen Henry Adams sought to triangulate the progress of modern civilization he fixed his historical transit at Mont St. Michel and Chartres in the days of the First Crusade and sighted from them across the centuries. No earlier place in the Middle Ages would have afforded a foundation of equal breadth in its description of society. The spiritual character of the Crusade lent a halo to even the most commonplace details connected with it and thus gave to them a literary immortality hitherto confined rather narrowly to matters of ecclesiastical interest. The widespread enthusiasm for the movement and participation in it assured its commemoration not only in monuments of stone but in a variety of writings as well. The authors of these accounts were neither sophisticated nor highly trained in their art. The picture of society which they drew, though relatively complete, has stood forth with all the simple and stark realism of a charcoal sketch, full of feeling, action, and scenery, but lacking in finish. The polish and finish have come with the later centuries. For those, however, who would understand that society even in its more finished form, a knowledge of the preliminary sketch is still essential.In these lack-o-Latin days students seeking to accomplish this find their path too much beset with linguistic obstacles. It is to ameliorate these difficulties that the present volume has been compiled. The plan of this work will be found reminiscent of Archers Crusade of Richard I and the Parallel Source Problems of Mediaeval History, The author gratefully acknowledges indebtedness to both.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Exciting and Very Readable By Ileen S. It is well worth buying. I was using it to double check on my own translation of the Deeds of the Franks from the Latin. I like that the author has tried to keep the English as close to the original Latin as possible. I like that, although Deeds of the Franks is the bulk of this book, he includes many other sources who were along on the Crusades. One notable exception, he includes a chunk of Raoul de Caen's telling about the finding of the Spear of Destiny in Antioch. There are many, many books out there on the First Crusade but few of them will be in the words of the people who were there. This one is.
