The subjects in this volume focus on the history of the Latin East and its place in the context of Mediterranean trade and near eastern political developments.
Volume 1 of the two-volume set MMed 135: These volumes offer the
first critical edition of the Chronique d’Ernoul and the
so-called Colbert-Fontainebleau (or Acre) Continuation of William
of Tyre in over 150 years. The material is accompanied by an
extensive introduction, glossary and bibliography. These two
thirteenth-century narratives recount the story of the crusades and
the Latin East. Both are anonymous; both employed the French
vernacular and both contain accounts that are essential for anyone
studying the subject. The Chronique d’Ernoul was completed in the
1230s in northern France. The main part of the
Colbert-Fontainebleau Continuation of William of Tyre dates to the
late 1240s and is a reworking of Ernoul with material going up to
1277; it was composed in the Latin East.

This volume contains papers from the fifth conference on the
military orders held in London. It deals with the archaeological
investigations at the Hospitaller castle at al-Marqab and examines
aspects of the history of the military orders in the Latin East and
the Mediterranean lands.
Scholarly interest and popular interest in the military orders show
no sign of abating. This volume records the proceedings of the
fifth conference in 2009, and, like the earlier volumes in the
series, is essential reading for everyone interested in the
progress of research into these powerful institutions.
This volume brings together 22 of the papers presented at a
conference held in Esztergom, Hungary, in May 2018 to coincide with
the 800th anniversary of the crusade of King Andrew II of Hungary
to the Holy Land in 1217-18. The theme, Bridge of Civilizations,
was chosen to highlight aspects of the links and contrasts between
Europe and the areas around the eastern Mediterranean that were
visited and occupied by western crusaders and settlers in the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries, giving special attention to the
evidence provided by archaeology and material culture, as well as
historical sources. The results of the joint Syrian-Hungarian
Archaeological Mission (SHAM) to the Hospitaller castle of Margat
(al-Marqab) highlighted in this volume include an up-to-date
overview of the structural development of the site from 1187 to
1285, as well as particular studies of the wall paintings, cooking
installations and pottery. SHAM's recent rescue work at Crac des
Chevaliers also provides the basis for studies of the
water-management system and medieval burials revealed in its
courtyard, while other papers examine the masonry marks and
surviving evidence of medieval trebuchet damage at both castles.
Other papers focus on the medieval castles of Karak (Jordan) and
Jubayl (Lebanon), the medieval buildings of Latakia (Syria), the
impact of the Crusades on buildings in Cairo, historic bridges in
Lebanon, the medieval chapels of Yanouh-Mghayreh and Edde-Jbeil
(Lebanon), piscinas in Crusader churches in the East, the images of
donors found in medieval Lebanese churches, and the activity of
late thirteenth-century Western metal-workers in Cyprus. Papers
focusing more particularly on historical sources include a new
edition of a late eleventh- to twelfth-century pilgrimage itinerary
from Hungary to the Holy Land, a discussion of two minor military
orders in Hungary, and the portrayal of Sultan al-Kamil in a
contemporary western account of the Fifth Crusade.
