The Churches of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem: Volume 3, The City of Jerusalem: A Corpus

Denys Pringle

Cambridge University Press, Jun 28, 2007 - History - 506 pages

This is the second of a series of four volumes which are intended to present a complete corpus of all the church buildings, of both the western and the oriental rites, rebuilt or simply in use in the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem between the capture of Jerusalem for the First Crusade in 1099 and the loss of Acre in 1291. This volume completes the general topographical coverage begun in volume I, and will be followed by a third volume dealing specifically with the major cities of Jerusalem, Acre and Tyre (which are excluded from the preceding volumes). The project of which this series represents the final, definitive publication, has been sponsored by the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem. On completion the corpus will contain a topographical listing of all the 400 or more church buildings of the Kingdom that are attested by documentary or surviving archaeological evidence, and individual descriptions and discussion of them in terms of their identification, building history, and architecture. Some of the buildings have been published before, but many others are published here for the first time.
