This is the first major work on the history of the secular church
in the Frankish states of Syria and the Holy Land - a subject which
has not hitherto attracted the interest of ecclesiastical
historians. The present book has been written to fill this
important gap in crusader studies. It deals with the period
stretching from the establishment of a Latin hierarchy after the
First Crusade to the final conquest by the Mamluks in 1291. Dr
Hamilton examines the development of the Church in the
Patriarchates of Jerusalem and Antioch and its organisation from
the parish level upwards. Two chapters are devoted to a study of
its sources of income and the financial problems that arose after
the Battle of Hattin through the thirteenth century. Particular
attention is paid to the relations between the Latin and the
Eastern Churches. The author documents the unequal treatment given
to the Orthodox and to the separated Churches, and traces the
course of the various attempts at church union. In his conclusion
he makes an overall assessment of the spiritual achievments of the
Church during this period and the extent to which it justified the
first crusaders' ideals.
