The Crusades from the Perspective of Byzantium and the Muslim World
edited by Angeliki E. Laiou and Roy Parviz Mottahedeh
The essays in this volume demonstrate that on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean there were rich, variegated, and important phenomena associated with the Crusades, and that a full understanding of the significance of the movement and its impact on both the East and West must take these phenomena into account.
