Note 10 — Chapter VIII · THE EARLY CRUSADES AND THE LATIN KINGDOM OF JERUSALEM (1095–1187)[10]
Reading edition
The best short book on the Crusades in English is Archer and Kingsford’s The Crusades (‘Story of the Nations’). Kugler, Geschichte der Kreuzzüge (Oncken’s Series), is a fuller but dry survey of the whole subject. H. von Sybel’s History and Literature of the Crusades (translated from the German) is one of the earliest of modern critical works. Mr. Archer’s article in the English Hist. Review, iv. 89-105, determines some points. Gibbon’s Chapters LVIII. and LIX. should always be read. Röhricht’s Geschichte des Königreichs Jerusalem is invaluable for the internal history.
