Synopsis "Baldric of Bourgueil: "History of the Jerusalemites": A Translation of the Historia Ierosolimitana (Crusading in Context) (in English)"
The Historia Ierosolimitana is a prose narrative of the events of the First Crusade written at the abbey of Bourgueil in the Loire Valley around 1105. Its author, the abbot Baldric, used the anonymous Gesta Francorum for much of the factual material presented, but provided literary enhancements and amplifications of the historical narrative and the characters found therein, in order, as Baldric says, to make the Historia a more worthy account of the miraculous events it describes.This volume provides the first modern-language translation of the Historia, with a full introduction setting out its historical, social, political and manuscript contexts, and notes. It will contribute to a revised exploration of the First Crusade, and facilitate much wider debates about the place of history writing in medieval culture, textuality and manuscript transmission.SUSAN B. EDGINGTON is a Teaching and Research Fellow at Queen Mary University of London; STEVEN J. BIDDLECOMBE edited the Latin text of Baldric's Historia (2014); having taught at a number of universities, most recently at Nottingham Trent; he is currently an independent scholar.Table of ContentsIntroductionThe Life and Career of Baldric of BourgueilThe French Historians of the First CrusadeComparisons between the Three French HistoriansManuscript Transmission and ReceptionThe 'History of the Jerusalemites'Prologue and Book OneBook TwoBook ThreeBook FourAppendix 1 - Additions found in Paris, BNF, MS Latin 5513Appendix 2 - People and PlacesBibliography
