Description
Syria in Crusader Times: Conflict and Co-existence explores the complex relationships between Christians, Muslims, and Jews in 12th-century Syria. This book delves into various literary sources, including little-known chronicles and letters, to shed new light on life in Greater Syria during this period. Through a range of themes, from material culture to internal relations within Muslim communities, Carole Hillenbrand reveals fresh insights into the career of Saladin and the rule of his family dynasty. The book also examines the role of Oriental Christian communities in Syria, including those of Italian, Melkite, and Armenian descent. By analysing valuable primary sources in Arabic, Armenian, Syriac, Latin, and Old French, Hillenbrand contributes significantly to our understanding of this key period in Middle Eastern history.
