No subject in medieval history is changing as rapidly as crusade
studies. Even so, the Second Crusade has been oddly neglected. The
present volume is the first ever to have been devoted to it in
English and one of the few which has appeared in any language. The
twenty contributors represent six nations on three continents and
their work reflects the most recent research on a crusade which
mobilized Europe on a larger scale than any expedition undertaken
since the time of the Roman Empire. Particular attention is paid to
the key role played by St. Bernard and the Cistercians in this
crusade and their relations with the Military Orders. An
interdisciplinary approach is taken, incorporating history, art and
music. One of the most valuable contributions of the volume to
crusade scholarship is its unparalleled bibliography, listing over
700 primary and secondary sources.
