It is a valuable addition to Boydell \u0026amp; Brewer's repertoire of crusading material,and is an interesting text because it represents an attempt to produce a critical history from the eyewitness sources - the \u003ci\u003eDeeds of the Franks\u003c\/i\u003e and Fulker of Chartres' \u003ci\u003eHistory of the Expedition to Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e: in theprocess it reveals considerable detail on Western attitudes to the First Crusade, and, through Guibert's own bias, on medieval \u003ci\u003ementalites\u003c\/i\u003e in general. \u003cbr\u003e In this translation, Professor Levine has rendered the difficult and idiosyncratic Latin prose and verse into idiomatic English prose, while preserving as far as possible the constructions favoured by Guibert. In addition, he provides a brief introduction containing biographical and bibliographical information, as well as a summary of the translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Professor ROBERT LEVINE teaches in the Department of English, Boston University.","brand":"Robert Levine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280485822715,"sku":"9780851156934","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780851156934_082271da-9df3-4da8-8e32-309a29411899.jpg?v=1772483112","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-deeds-of-god-through-the-franks-9780851156934","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
