In the thirty-five years since B.Z. Kedar published the first of
his many studies on the crusades, he has become a leading historian
of this field, and of medieval and Middle Eastern history more
broadly. His work has been groundbreaking, uncovering new evidence
and developing new research tools and methods of analysis with
which to study the life of Latins and non-Latins in both the
medieval West and the Frankish East. From the Israeli perspective,
Kedar's work forms a important part of the historical and cultural
heritage of the country. This volume presents 31 essays written by
eminent medievalists in his honour. They reflect his methods and
diversity of interest. The collection, outstanding in both quality
and range of topics, covers the Latin East and relations between
West and East in the time of the crusades. The individual essays
deal with the history, archaeology and art of the Holy Land, the
crusades and the military orders, Islam, historiography,
Mediterranean commerce, medieval ideas and literature, and the Jews
Given Benjamin Kedar's close involvement with the Society for the
Study of the Crusades and the Latin East and his years as its
President, and his work to establish the journal Crusades, it is
fitting that this volume should appear as the first in a series of
Subsidia to the journal. For information about the Society for the
Study of the Crusades and the Latin East, see the society's

This volume is a collection of nineteen original essays by leading
specialists on the history, historiography and memory of the
Crusades, the social and cultural aspects of life in the Latin
East, as well as the military orders and inter-religious relations
in the Middle Ages. Intended to appeal to scholars and students
alike, the volume honours Professor Sophia Menache of the
Department of History, University of Haifa, Israel. The
contributions reflect the richness of Professor Menache's research
interests - medieval communications, the Church and the Papacy in
the central and later Middle Ages, the Crusades and the military
orders, as well as the memory and historiography of the Crusades.
Examining liturgy as historical evidence has, in recent years,
developed into a flourishing field of research. The chapters in
this volume offer innovative discussion of the Latin Kingdom of
Jerusalem from the perspective of 'liturgy in history'. They
demonstrate how the total liturgical experience, which was visual,
emotional, motile, olfactory, and aural, can be analysed to
understand the messages that liturgy was intended to convey. The
chapters reveal how combining narrative sources with liturgical
documents can help decode political circumstances and inter-group
relations and decipher the core ideals of the community of
Outremer. Moreover, understanding the Latins' liturgical activities
in the Holy Land has much to contribute to our understanding of the
crusade as an institution, how crusade spirituality was practised
on the ground in the Latin East, and how people engaged with the
crusading movement. This volume brings together eight original
studies, forwarded by the editors' introduction, on the liturgy of
Jerusalem, spanning the immediate pre-Crusade and Crusade period
(11th-13th centuries). It demonstrates the richness of a focus on
the liturgy in illuminating the social, religious, and intellectual
history of this critical period of ecclesiastical self-assertion,
as well as conceptions of the sacred in this time and place. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Medieval History.
This book examines the premodern encounter between the three
monotheistic religions through the unique prism of a premodern
literary work-The Parable of the Three Rings-a poignant and
charming tale of a father who had three sons and one precious ring.
By tradition he was to bequeath the ring to his heir, but he loved
his three sons equally - so he had two new rings made, crafted to
be indistinguishable from the original, and on his deathbed gave a
ring to each son. The narrator explains that the father is God, and
his sons are the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims, each
believing themselves to be the sole upholders of the true religion.
A historical and literary study, the book offers a comprehensive
discussion of the various guises of the Parable, from the early
Middle Ages onwards, and highlights its capacity to reflect
openness and pluralism in the interfaith encounter.
