Olkin For other titles published in this series. Although dedicated to Arnulf, the Gesta Tancredi focuses on the careers of Bohemond and, especially, of Tancred. It is one of the most important sources — indeed the most important Latin source — for the Norman campaigns in Cilicia —and for the early Norman rule of Antioch. The work as a whole has a striking Norman point of view and contains details found in no other source, providing a corrective to the strong northern focus of most of the other narrative sources for the First Crusade.

Jonathan Phillips Manchester,57— However, it is certain that Ralph was ordained a priest byat the latest, because it was in that year that he was recruited by Bohemond c. In Septemberin return for permission from Alexios to withdraw his forces from Albania, Bohemond concluded a treaty with the Byzantine emperor in which he agreed to take an oath that made explicit the subordination of Antioch to the empire and to return to Apulia. It is clear, however, that Ralph wants his readers to believe that he had a close conversational relationship with Bohemond and that the latter provided him with a considerable quantity of information concerning the First Crusade. Ralph intentionally leaves vague the conditions under which he moved from the entourage of Bohemond to that of Tancred. Throughout his text, Ralph maintains obvious loyalty to both men and never gives the impression that his movement to service at Antioch was the result of a falling out with Bohemond or that the latter opposed or even resented the move. At least, this is the picture that Ralph conveys to his readers which serves to undergird the credibility of his account. Throughout his association with both Bohemond and Tancred, Ralph makes it clear that The Gesta Tancredi of Ralph of Caen 1st edition sought and obtained detailed information from both men and from their followers regarding a wide spectrum of events during the 9 Concerning this campaign, see John W. Sewter London,— In this context, Anna The Gesta Tancredi of Ralph of Caen 1st edition what purports to be the text of the agreement between Bohemond and Alexios It also seems probable that Ralph informed his principals, or at least Tancred, that he would not write while they were still living because he did not wish to have his account challenged as being biased by their patronage. Indeed, this suggests an ongoing and very positive relationship between the two men. Among the poets, he was very well versed in Vergil, which was not unusual, but he also had a good acquaintance with Ovid, who did not become very popular until later in the twelfth century. In addition, he had read Horace, who never was much of a favorite during the 11 In his preface, Ralph makes explicit reference to his relationship with both of the princes of Antioch, emphasizing that he knew Tancred even better than he knew Bohemond. Introduction 5 High Middle Ages. The purpose of history, as Ralph envisioned it, was consistent with the views of both Livy and Caesar, two of the classical writers upon whom he modeled some of his writing, as well as being consistent with the aims of much Christian historiography. It seems clear that to Ralph, history was a subject from which people were to learn and that it was not simply a form of The Gesta Tancredi of Ralph of Caen 1st edition. Thus, Ralph emphasizes that he is dismayed and, in fact, recoils in disgust that his contemporaries are not reading what ought to be read and, more importantly, were not writing what The Gesta Tancredi of Ralph of Caen 1st edition to be written. He 16 Concerning the availability and reading of Horace during the eleventh century, see Maria Barbara Quint, Untersuchungen zur mittelalterlichen Horaz-Rezeption Frankfurt,esp. This is particularly true of the deeds carried out by Tancred. In defending his suitability to write the Gesta Tancredi, Ralph does not depart from the ubiquitous modesty-humility topos and avers that other men more talented than he undoubtedly could be found to do this work. It is in this context that Ralph discusses what would appear to have been his most important criterion for gathering and transmitting accurate information, the sine qua non, in his view for the writing of history. He avers, that despite his limited talents, he had a very close personal connection to Bohemond and an even closer relationship with Tancred. These connections enabled him to obtain information from eyewitnesses concerning events and, indeed, information from participants at a high level who had access to more information than the mere soldier in the battle line. Ralph, as noted above, was very much aware that having a close, personal relationship with his eyewitness sources was a two-edged sword. On the one hand, these men could provide the best and most accurate information. While source bias was a potential problem for Ralph, he also understood that he could be accused of authorial bias The Gesta Tancredi of Ralph of Caen 1st edition as he enjoyed a very close, indeed a patron—client, relationship with his principals.

The two decades of his rule marked the extension of Latin conquests in the east, most notably by the conquest of the important coastal cities of Arsulf, Acre, Caesarea, Beirut and Sidon. These vital ports for the early Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem provided outlets to the sea for commerce, as well as safe harbors for incoming assistance from the west.

  • Ralph of Caen
    Ralph of Caen Raoul de Caen, Radulfo Cadomensi Date of Birth About 1080 Place of Birth Caen, Normandy Date of Death Unknown; after 1118 Place of Death Unknown Biography Ralph of Caen probably came from a prominent Norman family. He was likely educated at the cathedral school at Caen under the tutelage of Arnulf of Chocques, who was later to become patriarch of Jerusa- lem. It is not known whether he completed his studies and training for the priesthood before Arnulf’s departure for the Holy Land in 1096, but he was an ordained priest at least by 1106. That year, Bohe- mond of Taranto, prince of Antioch, toured France to recruit men for his new crusade. Ralph accompanied Bohemond as his chaplain and appears to have served Bohemond during his campaign against Emperor Alexius Comnenus (1107-8). In his work, Ralph emphasizes his close personal relationship with Bohemond, although it is possible this was a rhetorical device designed to give greater credence to his narrative. Some time before Bohemond’s death in 1111, Ralph of Caen left his service to join Bohemond’s nephew Tancred, who had succeeded him as prince of Antioch. Ralph seems to be deliberately vague regarding the circumstances surrounding this move. He remained with Tancred until the latter’s death in 1112. Throughout his narrative, Ralph high- lights his close association with both Bohemond and Tancred, and emphasizes that his information on the crusade came from them and their followers. Ralph began the Gesta Tancredi after Tancred’s death in 1112, seems to have had Arnulf of Chocques as a patron, and dedi- cated the work to him.

  • The Physiognomy of the Enemy: the Image of Saracens in Travel Literature
    CTPIJTW JAN ’15 | 4(1) The Physiognomy of the Enemy: The Image of Saracens in Travel Literature Ilaria Sabbatini Abstract Florentine writers of travel, on which is based this article, were no longer interested in writing about the Arabs as a people, charged with Christian symbols, but the Arabs became the subject of a new mode of observation. Something of the traditional theological device remained in the Florentine diaries but what interested travellers was the concrete observation made of the Eastern peoples grouped under the name of Saracens. The new approach, far from banishing symbolism from the representation of reality, stimulated its reinterpretation in the light of empirical observation. Field experiences were mingled with bookish knowledge; data collected first-hand was interwoven with the traditional repertoire of beliefs, producing an inseparable mixture. Given that the paradigm still remained that of St. Augustine, a great change had taken place: the Christian symbolism, in which the real city was that of God, passed to a civic symbolism whose point of reference was the city of men, shaped during the urban development that had changed the face of the West. The Augustinian background was always present, but was shifting its focus from being the city of God to the city built by Christians: the proximity to the city marked the degree of proximity to the human species. Only in the light of these considerations can one understand the full extent of the operation undertaken by Florentine diarists who described physically — but also socially — the populations of the Eastern Mediterranean. Keywords Florentine Diarists, Débat du Chrestien et du Sarrazin, Muhammad, Liber Phisionomiae, Christianity, Saracens, Liber de secretis nature, arabi salvatichi, arabi piccolini, Mamelukes The International Quarterly of Travelogy Read this and other works at <<http://www.coldnoon.com>> ISSN 2278-9642 | E-ISSN 2278-9650 CTPIJTW JAN ’15 | 4(1) Recommended Citation Sabbatini, Ilaria.

  • Remembering the First Crusade
    REMEMBERING THE FIRST CRUSADE: LATIN NARRATIVE HISTORIES 1099-c.1300 Barbara Packard Royal Holloway University of London PhD Thesis 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Barbara Packard, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: 04/01/2011 2 ABSTRACT The success of the First Crusade by the Christian armies caught the interest and arrested the imagination of contemporaries, stimulating the production of a large number of historical narratives. Four eyewitness accounts, as well as letters written by the crusaders to the West, were taken up by later authors, re-worked and re-fashioned into new narratives; a process which continued throughout the twelfth century and beyond. This thesis sets out to explore why contemporaries continued to write about the First Crusade in light of medieval attitudes towards the past, how authors constructed their narratives and how the crusade and the crusaders were remembered throughout the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It will analyse the development in the way the First Crusade was recorded and investigate the social, religious, intellectual and political influences dictating change: How, why and under what circumstances was the story re- told? What changed in the re-telling? What ideas and concepts were the authors trying to communicate and what was their meaning for contemporaries? The thesis will also aim to place these texts not only in their historical but also in their literary contexts, analyse the literary traditions from which authors were writing, and consider the impact the crusade had on medieval literature.

  • The Struggle for the Conquest of Antioch (1097-1098) the Struggle
    The Struggle for the Conquest of Antioch (1097-1098) The Struggle for the Conquest of Antioch (1097-1098): Muslim and Christian Perspectives of a Critical Battle during the First Crusade Mersadi’s Dâ Curtsinger Pope Urban II’s sermon at the Council of Clermont in 1095 calling for Christians of Europe to recapture Jerusalem in the name of God brought forth a widespread response from people of all social ranks.1 These included princeps (princes or leaders), minors (petty knights, castellans, and lords), the populous (the poor and laborers), and, lastly, the clergy.2 The following excerpt from Urban’s letter provides instructions on how the Christian community could join this cause: Your brotherhood, we believe, has long since learned from many accounts that a barbaric fury has deplorably afflicted and laid waste the churches of God in the regions of the Orient. More than this, blasphemous to say, it has even grasped in intolerable servitude its churches and the Holy City of Christ, glorified by his passion and resurrection. Grieving with pious concern at this calamity, we visited the regions of Gaul and devoted ourselves largely to urging the princes of the land and their subjects to free the churches of the East. We solemnly enjoined upon them at the council of Auvergne (the accomplishment of) such an undertaking, as a preparation for the remission of all their sins. And we have constituted our most beloved son, Adhemar [sic], Bishop of Puy, leader of this expedition and undertaking in our stead, so that those who, perchance, may wish to undertake this journey should comply [w]ith his commands, as if they were their own, and submit fully to his loosings or bindings, as far as shall seem to belong to such an office.
