Riassunto

This is the third in a series of four volumes that are intended to present a complete Corpus of all the church buildings, of both the Western and the Oriental rites, built, rebuilt or simply in use in the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem between the capture of Jerusalem by the First Crusade in 1099 and the loss of Acre in 1291. This volume deals exclusively with Jerusalem, the capital of the Kingdom from 1099 to 1187, leaving the churches of Acre and Tyre to be covered in the fourth and final volume. The Corpus will be an indispensable work of reference to all those concerned with the medieval topography and archaeology of the Holy Land, with the history of the church in the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, with medieval pilgrimage to the Holy Places, and with the art and architecture of the Latin East.

Recensione:

Review of the hardback: 'Since the appearance of the first volume in 1993, the Corpus has represented the best in academic research and publication. Pringle's command of the documentary sources and knowledge of the architecture and archaeology of the buildings themselves is, literally, second to none, and Cambridge University Press is to be congratulated for its continuing commitment to the publication of this carefully produced and generously illustrated series. Research in the ecclesiastical history of the crusader states is inconceivable without it, and this volume more than matches the quality of its predecessors.' The Journal of Ecclesiastical History
