UNF Crusades: Bibliography - Fordham University

Paul HalsallThe Crusades: BibliographyCreated. 2001. Last Update: April 28, 2019.This bibliography of literature on the Crusades in English was prepared for courses I taught 2001-2005. Itis not meant to be exhaustive, but it is meant to point to the main sources (where English translations areavailable) and secondary works on the major areas of Crusade historiography. I undertook a majorupdate in April 2019. Because some people might be interested in what happened in published researchthe roughly 20 years since this was first compiled a separate document on works since c. 2000 isavailable.Contents Crusade Overviewso Bibliographyo Reference Workso Source Collectionso Online Encyclopediao Historiographyo Secondary LiteratureOrigins of The CrusadesThe First CrusadeThe Second CrusadeThe Third CrusadeOther 12th Century ExpeditionsThe Fourth CrusadeThe Fifth CrusadeThe Sixth and Later CrusadesOther 13th Century Expeditionso Generalo Children's Crusadeo Shepherd's CrusadeCrusades in The Later Middle AgesThe Latin States in PalestineLatin CyprusLatin Constantinople and GreeceCrusaders and Islamo Generalo Political/Military Response to the Crusadeo Intercultural Relationso Mongol ImpactCrusaders and JewsCrusaders and ByzantiumThe Spanish Reconquistao Interaction of Three Communitieso The ReconquestCrusades and Heretics
