Beschrijving Walls

For thousands of years, humans have built walls and assaulted them, admired walls and reviled them. In Walls, David Frye uncovers a story that is more than just bricks and stone: he reveals the startling link between what we build and how we live, who we are and how we came to be.

Gesta Francorum Ierusalem expugnantium

The Gesta Francorum Ierusalem expugnantium adds a new voice to the half-dozen contemporaries who chronicled the First Crusade (1095) and the very few who continued the story after 1099. The Latin text is accompanied by an accurate and lively English translation, the first into any modern language, with a full introduction and historical notes.
