Marijn Taal | 296 comments Hello,

I would like the information on this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) on Goodreads to be corrected. It currently has 0 pages on Goodreads. This is the information of the copy I own:

* Title: Joinville and Villehardouin. Chronicles of the Crusades
* Author(s) name(s): Medieval authors Geoffrey of Villehardouin and John of Joinville. Modern author Caroline Smith.
* ISBN (or ASIN): 9780140449983
* Publisher: Penguin Books
* Publication date: 2008
* Format: paperback
* Page count: 406
* Description:
'I will not for any price leave the kingdom of Jerusalem to be lost, since I came to conquer and defend it'

The Conquest of Constantinople by Geoffrey of Villehardouin and The Life of Saint Louis by John of Joinville are eye-witness accounts of going to war in the service of God. In the first years of the thirteenth century Villehardouin served as an envoy in the Fourth Crusade, at the very heart of a campaign that veered from its aim of conquering Muslim Egypt to the sacking of Greek Orthodox Constantinople. Half a century later, Joinville accompanied the French king, Louis IX, on crusade to Egypt and the Near East. The Chronicles of the Crusades are invaluable first-hand narratives of these campaigns and provide vivid insights into the characters and beliefs of the crusaders.

This edition has a new clear, accessible translation from the Old French by Caroline Smith, an introduction on the history of the crusades and the different approaches of the two authors, a chronology, maps, further reading, appendices of extra material, a glossary, notes and indexes.
* Language: English

Sincerely,

Marijn Taal
