The Libellus de expugnatione Terrae Sanctae per Saladinum (or
Little Book about the Conquest of the Holy Land by Salah al-Din) is
the most substantial contemporary Latin account of the conquest of
the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1187. Seemingly written by a churchman
who was in Jerusalem itself when the city was besieged and
captured, the Libellus fuses historical narrative and biblical
exegesis in an attempt to recount and interpret the loss of the
Holy Land, an event that provoked an outpouring of grief throughout
western Christendom and sparked the Third Crusade. This book
provides an English translation of the Libellus accompanied by a
new, comprehensive critical edition of the Latin text and a
detailed study in the introduction.
