In addition, pilgrims and crusaders from the west passed through the Empire and settled - culminating in the capture of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204. In order to understand the history of the region during this period, one must be aware of the rich source material created by these shifting populations, in a wide range of languages, and with differing traditions of historical writing.\n\nThe fourteen essays give an overview of the material, highlighting any problems the historian may have in dealing with it, and provide detailed bibliographical surveys. Latin, Arabic, Jewish, Slavonic, Georgian, Armenian and Syriac sources are all discussed.\n\nThis invaluable reference work offers new approaches for all those working on the meeting of the Christian and Muslim worlds in this period.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Early history: c 500 to c 1450\/1500 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Early history: c 500 to c 1450\/1500\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Early%20history:%20c%20500%20to%20c%201450\/1500%20%5BHBLC%5D%22\"\u003eHBLC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52253132390680,"sku":"9780197263785","price":85.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197263785.jpg?v=1781271961","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/byzantines-and-crusaders-in-non-greek-sources-1025-1204-hardback-9780197263785","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
