The classic French collection on Armenia during the Crusades. Many voices are heard: the complete Chronicles of Jean Dardel (first published here) and Hayton of Corycus (in French and Latin) and the Deeds of the Cypriots, the relevant sections of many chronicles from Matthew of Edessa to prince Smbad the Constable, Armenian charters, and literary texts; works in Armenian are given in the original with French translation. The reader will find a panorama extending far beyond the medieval Kingdom of Armenia: the heroic deeds of the Crusaders on Cyprus, the elegies and sermons of Armenian Patriarchs deploring the Muslim reconquest, the fall of Acre, the real and apocryphal letters of Brocardus (or Burchard) of Mount Carmel, founder of the Carmelites, the lament of King Hethoum II on the subjection of Armenia to the Mongols, the report of the Armenian delegate to a conference at Acre on the reunion of the Armenian and Catholic Churches, Daniel of Tabriz defending his Franciscan order against Dominican charges of heresy, and much more. Lengthy introductions give context and fill in the history.
