The Deeds of God Through the Franks: A Translation of Guibert de Nogent's Gesta Dei Per FrancosBoydell & Brewer Ltd, 1997 - 166 pagine First English translation of important text of the First Crusade. Guibert of Nogent's account of the First Crusade is an important but difficult chronicle which will be welcomed in this first English translation. It is a valuable addition to Boydell & Brewer's repertoire of crusading material, and is an interesting text because it represents an attempt to produce a critical history from the eyewitness sources - the Deeds of the Franks and Fulker of Chartres' History of the Expedition to Jerusalem: in theprocess it reveals considerable detail on Western attitudes to the First Crusade, and, through Guibert's own bias, on medieval mentalites in general. Professor ROBERT LEVINE teaches in the Department of English, Boston University. |
