First English translation of important text of the First Crusade.
Guibert of Nogent's account of the First Crusade is an important
but difficult chronicle which will be welcomed in this first
English translation. It is a valuable addition to Boydell &
Brewer's repertoire of crusading material,and is an interesting
text because it represents an attempt to produce a critical history
from the eyewitness sources - the Deeds of the Franks and Fulker of
Chartres' History of the Expedition to Jerusalem: in theprocess it
reveals considerable detail on Western attitudes to the First
Crusade, and, through Guibert's own bias, on medieval mentalites in
general. In this translation, Professor Levine has rendered the
difficult and idiosyncratic Latin prose and verse into idiomatic
English prose, while preserving as far as possible the
constructions favoured by Guibert. In addition, he provides a brief
introduction containing biographical and bibliographical
information, as well as a summary of the translation. Professor
ROBERT LEVINE teaches in the Department of English, Boston
University.
