Specificatii
A Saracen stronghold throughout the long history of the Crusades,
Damascus served as the capital city for Nur al-Deen, Saladin, and
other medieval Muslim leaders. From this prime vantage point comes
a remarkable contemporary account of the early Crusades, written by
one of the city's leading citizens. Ibn Al-Qalānisī, a
distinguished scholar of literature, theology, and law, was twice
elected mayor of Damascus. His Chronicle begins in 1097, in the
early years of the First Crusade, and concludes in 1159, the year
before his death at the age of 90.An informative introduction sets
the scene just prior to invasion by the Crusaders. The colorful
narrative relates the particulars of life during wartime; in
addition to his accounts of battles, blockades, and diplomatic
negotiations, Ibn Al-Qalānisī paints vivid and decidedly biased
portraits of the personalities on both sides of this holy war, from
gallant commanders and intrepid troops of his native land to their
opposition, the -infidels- and: accursed ones.-The author based his
work on both written documentation and oral reports, the latter
sometimes transcribed from the lips of actual participants.
Intended primarily as a textbook for students, this translation by
H. A. R. Gibb renders the Arabic text as literally as possible,
with minimal annotation, and constitutes an indispensable resource
for anyone who needs a firsthand account of the early Crusades.
