In Medieval Muslim Historians and the Franks in the Levant seven leading scholars examine the historical writings of seven medieval Muslim historians whose works provide the core chronographical texts for reconstructing the events of the crusading period, 1097-1291. Each chapter examines the life of and influences on each historian, their overall writings, and their historical works related to the Crusades. Each historical text is examined for the current state of modern research, the sources and working method of the author, and its use and relevance for crusader studies and other fields of research. This volume will be of use to anyone studying the events of the Crusades, of Islamic History, or of Arabic Historiography in the medieval period. Contributors include: Fr©?d©?ric Bauden, Niall Christie, Anne-Marie Edd©?, Konrad Hirschler, Alex Mallett, and Fran©?oise Micheau, Lutz Richter-Bernburg Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

"Although very recently some studies have attempted to employ Arabic sources to the same extent as the Latin ones, Arabic texts have, traditionally and regrettably, been used almost exclusively only in as far as they back-up what the western ones say, and ignored if they disagree."
I now have a watch on the work of the editor Alex Mallett and contributer Konrad Hirschler, who seem to be integrating the Arabic sources in new and exciting ways. I've just seen the latter call for medievalists with Arabic, of whom there are few; makes me want to scrub up my once-attempted Arabic acquisition, and become one. As if I don't have other things to do. ( )
