The Chronique d'Ernoul and the Colbert-Fontainebleau Continuation of William of Tyre (Volume 2) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004547582)

Volume 2 of the two-volume set MMed 135: These volumes offer the first critical edition of the Chronique d'Ernoul and the so-called Colbert-Fontainebleau (or Acre) Continuation of William of Tyre in over 150 years. The material is accompanied by an extensive introduction, glossary and bibliography. These two thirteenth-century narratives recount the story of the crusades and the Latin East. Both are anonymous; both employed the French vernacular and both contain accounts that are essential for anyone studying the subject.
The Chronique d'Ernoul was completed in the 1230s in northern France. The main part of the Colbert-Fontainebleau Continuation of William of Tyre dates to the late 1240s and is a reworking of Ernoul with material going up to 1277; it was composed in the Latin East.
