Crusading in Art, Thought and Will

Review "This is an ambitious and truly interdisciplinary collection of essays, all studies which were presented at the third quadrennial International Symposium at Saint Louis University, most of them by early career researchers, the new generation of Crusade historians. It is rare to see gathered in one volume studies engaging with such a range of source materials, from seals and coins to archaeology, sermons to chronicles. Another strength is the use of texts and secondary materials in different languages bringing different perspectives to bear". Marianne Ailes, in The Medieval Review , May 2020.
