The first translation of Baldric's Historia Ierosolimitana, a
spirited account of the First Crusade, into modern English. The
Historia Ierosolimitana is a prose narrative of the events of the
First Crusade written at the abbey of Bourgueil in the Loire Valley
around 1105. Its author, the abbot Baldric, used the anonymous
Gesta Francorumfor much of the factual material presented, but
provided literary enhancements and amplifications of the historical
narrative and the characters found therein, in order, as Baldric
says, to make the Historia a more worthy account of the miraculous
events it describes. This volume provides the first modern-language
translation of the Historia, with a full introduction setting out
its historical, social, political and manuscript contexts, and
notes. It will contribute to a revised exploration of the First
Crusade, and facilitate much wider debates about the place of
history writing in medieval culture, textuality and manuscript
transmission.
