Crusader Syria in the Thirteenth Century The Rothelin Continuation of the History of William of Tyre with Part of the Eracles or Acre Text

'The editors of this series and the translator deserve congratulations for making these continuations of the History of William of Tyre more accessible....' Church History, Vol. 69, No. 1 'This is a very welcome addition to a new series, Crusade Texts in Translation, whose editors are making a determined effort to commission translations of works which hitherto have languished in relative obscurity...The aim of this series is to provide good translations of texts, and the present volume certainly satisfies that requirement. Janet Shirley is a highly experienced translator, and in this volume her translation lives up to the very high standard set by her Song of the Cathar Wars in the same series...This is a very useful and stimulating text and its translation is important to sustaining the development of crusading studies.' Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, Vol. 10, No. 1
