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

by Gilo of Paris, C. W. Grocock, J. E. Siberry

Overview

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'.
