Walter the Chancellor's vivid first-hand account of the wars
between the Muslims and the principality of Antioch in the early
12th century describes a less well-known period in the history of
the Crusades, and provides a useful counterpart to the usual focus
on Jerusalem. It is here presented for the first time in English,
along with a selection of comparative sources and an important
introduction assessing the work's place in the historiography of
the Crusader states, and analysing the military campaigns it
details. 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.
