The life of UsA[mah ibn-Munqidh epitomizes the height of Arab
civilization during the early Crusading period. These memoirs --
which represent a rare first-hand account of medieval European
manners, morals, politics, and medicine written by a non-European
-- offers new perspective and insight into an important point of
military and cultural contact between the East and West. In his
introduction, translator Philip Hitti writes, "Ancient Arabic
literature has preserved for us other biographies, memoirs, and
reminiscences by great men, but there is hardly anything superior
to this one in its simplicity of narrative, dignity, and wealth of
contents and general human interest.
