A Problem in the Use of Parallel Source Material in Medieval History (Classic Reprint): The Capture of Jerusalem in 1099: The Capture of Jerusalem in 1099 (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Unravel medieval history by comparing competing reports of a pivotal siege. This study examines how historians use parallel sources to reconstruct the Capture of Jerusalem in 1099, highlighting the choices and biases that shape our view of the event. It focuses on the methods historians apply to piece together ground plans, movements, and battles from different writers.
Readers will see how early camps, tunnel and tower constructions, and siege engines were described across sources, and how these accounts align or clash. The work analyzes the roles of key leaders, the shifting positions of troops, and the dramatic moments of the siege, all while guarding against overstatement from any single narrative. It invites careful, evidence?based reading of medieval military history.
- How historians handle competing eyewitness and later summaries.
- How plans, marches, and siege techniques are inferred from multiple accounts.
- How motives, alliances, and biases appear in the surviving narratives.
- How to assess the reliability and limits of each source in reconstructing events.
Ideal for readers of medieval history and students of historiography seeking a careful, evidence?driven approach.
