The Historia Vie Hierosolimitane of Gilo of Paris and a Second, Anonymous Author

This book is the first critical edition of the Latin poem Historia Vie Hierosolimitane, by Gilo of Paris and a second anonymous author, translated for the first time into English and accompanied by a detailed historical and linguistic commentary.

Significant for its links with the vernacular Chanson d'Antioch, the poem illustrates how quickly a theological and cultural understanding of the First Crusade developed after the events themselves and shows how soon the leaders of the Crusades came to be regarded as heroes'.
