Presenting numerous interconnected insights into life in Greater
Syria in the twelfth century, this book covers a wide range of
themes relating to Crusader-Muslim relations. Some chapters deal
with various literary sources, including little-known Crusader
chronicles, a jihad treatise, a lost Muslim history of the Franks,
biographies, letters and poems. Other chapters look at material
culture, from coins to urban development, internal relations
between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims and between Crusader and Oriental
Christians, and the role of the Turkmen. New insights into the
career of Saladin are revealed, for example through the work of a
little-known propagandist at his court, and Saladin's use of
gift-giving for political purposes, as well as neglected aspects of
the rule of his family dynasty, the Ayyubids, which succeeded him.
Special attention is paid to the Christians residing in the Middle
East, from Italians to Melkites and Armenians.
