Examining liturgy as historical evidence has, in recent years,
developed into a flourishing field of research. The chapters in
this volume offer innovative discussion of the Latin Kingdom of
Jerusalem from the perspective of 'liturgy in history'. They
demonstrate how the total liturgical experience, which was visual,
emotional, motile, olfactory, and aural, can be analysed to
understand the messages that liturgy was intended to convey. The
chapters reveal how combining narrative sources with liturgical
documents can help decode political circumstances and inter-group
relations and decipher the core ideals of the community of
Outremer. Moreover, understanding the Latins' liturgical activities
in the Holy Land has much to contribute to our understanding of the
crusade as an institution, how crusade spirituality was practised
on the ground in the Latin East, and how people engaged with the
crusading movement. This volume brings together eight original
studies, forwarded by the editors' introduction, on the liturgy of
Jerusalem, spanning the immediate pre-Crusade and Crusade period
(11th-13th centuries). It demonstrates the richness of a focus on
the liturgy in illuminating the social, religious, and intellectual
history of this critical period of ecclesiastical self-assertion,
as well as conceptions of the sacred in this time and place. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Medieval History.
