Setton (1914-1995) of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.Heinrich Hagenmeyer (1834-1914) was a groundbreaking scholar of the Crusades, whose standards for publishing and editing sources, particularly for the First Crusade, set the standard for historians ever since.Walter the Chancellor, a 12th century Crusader and Chancellor of Antioch, wrote his work on Antiochene Wars between 1119 and 1122.

Binding absolutely sound, all pages tight and bright, with perhaps a little age-darkening.Reinhold Röhricht (1842-1905) was arguably one of the most indefatigable, intensive, thorough and meticulous compilers, editors and organizers of materials relating to the history and topography of the Holy Land and the Crusades. Although not an historical synthesizer nor indeed an historian, but perhaps more of an antiquarian and researcher, Röhricht virtually singlehandedly laid the foundation for modern historical research and study of the Crusades.Although somewhat dated now, his critical edition of materials relating to the First Crusade still remain of value to modern historians

Near Fine; a couple of small tears at front bottom of dust jacket, some tanning of dust jacket spine and top edge and a little soiling on back; volume itself in near fine/fine condition except for a few very small stains on front page edges..

Guarino left relatively little written work as he was primarily a teacher (and an evidently inspiring one), but he was extremely influential in establishing the groundwork and the ethos of the Italian Renaissance, and one of the most prominent early Renaissance humanists. His written legacy consists chiefly of this large collection of letters,… Read More
