First published in 1999, this edition of Walter the Chancellor's
account of the wars of the Antiochenes against the Muslims in the
early twelfth century is a vivid first-hand account of a dramatic
yet less well-known period in the history of the northern Crusader
states, and an important balance to the more usual focus on
Jerusalem. As a highly-placed Antiochene official, Walter was able
to write the most authoritative account of the principality's
fortunes and internal workings, and his book also sheds light on
the relationship between Latin settlement in the Levant and
contemporary Western perceptions of Islam and Eastern Christianity.
Here it has for the first time been translated into English (from
the Latin edition of H. Hagenmeyer). It is prefaced by a
substantial introduction, discussing the author and his work in the
context of the history and historiography of the Latin settlement,
and is followed by a selection of comparative sources. Walter the
Chancellor's history will be of interest both to students of the
Crusades and to a wider readership for its perspective on life in a
medieval frontier society.
