This volume is concerned, above all, with the legal background and
the juristic issues behind the ideology and practice of the
medieval Crusades. This is an area that the author was the first to
investigate systematically, and there are two particular reasons
for his approach: one, the conviction that the historical
phenomenon of the Crusades can only be adequately understood within
the context of the legal systems that permeated the age; the other,
that so much of the documentary evidence " be it charters, decrees

grandement influencee par la loi. Un nombre d'etudes se concentrent
sur la rAle individuel de certains croises, ou s'adressent A des

Sainte. D'autre traitent de questions d'ordre pratique, ainsi que
de la nature des engagements contractes par le croise; ils en
