Jonathan Harris's classic text chronologically surveys Byzantine
history in the time of the Crusades. The book reveals the attitudes
of the Byzantine ruling elites towards the Crusades and their
ultimate inability to adapt to the challenges this presented. Using
evidence amassed in a wealth of primary sources, Harris
successfully makes the point that Byzantine interactions with
Western Europe, the Crusades and the crusader states is best
understood in the nature of the Byzantine Empire and the ideology
which underpinned it, rather than in any generalised hostility
between the peoples. Incorporating recent scholarship, this 3rd
edition has 25 further images, as well as additional maps and
genealogical tables. This new edition also comes with two
significant additions to the text: * Appendix I sees the inclusion
of seven critical Latin primary sources taken from across three
centuries. Translated by the author, these sources are then
discussed in detail, providing multiple first-hand perspectives on
the subject in the process * Appendix II provides assessments of
various representations of the subject in key fiction and
non-fiction works, thereby enriching your appreciation of the way
that Byzantine interaction with the Crusades has been constructed
at different times, from various standpoints and in other languages
This book remains the keystone to understanding the East-West
relationship during the Crusades and what this meant for the
Byzantine Empire.
