This book sheds light on the first three Crusades (1097-1191) by introducing material from several medieval Syriac and Arabic sources and reconciling their accounts with those provided by Western sources. It presents the Crusades as an extension of the conflict between Christianity and Islam, which began with the Arabs’ first incursions into Christian territory in the seventh century and continued with their conquest of the Iberian peninsula. |

A classic of hagiography, Bedjan’s massive seven-volume Acts of Martyrs and Saints is one of two main sources on the saints’ lives written in Syriac. Containing the stories of the saints from the perspective of the Eastern Church, Bedjan’s work frequently surpasses the magisterial work of Assemani because of the discovery of superior manuscripts. Ubiquitously referenced, this standard work is of acknowledged value by both Roman Catholic and Syrian Orthodox Christians. The lives of saints Peter, Thomas, Paul, Anthony, Ephrem, Rabbula, and Gregory; the martyrdom of saints George and Polycarp; Chaldean and Persian martyrs; the homilies of Jacob of Serug; and St. Cyril’s letter to Theodotian are a few of the highlights contained in these volumes. The final volume is a new publication of Paradisus Patrum, or the lives of the desert fathers. Together this Syriac collection makes up a major contribution to our knowledge of the early church and its traditions.
Paul Bedjan (1838-1920) was a Chaldean priest. A committed Orientalist, he worked with and collected many Syriac manuscripts. Many of his works are available from Gorgias Press.
