Saladin, the great twelfth century Middle East leader, not only created an empire, but also reduced the Crusader presence in the Holy Land. In a comprehensive manner and clear prose, Peter Gubser describes how Saladin rose to power, conquered lands, governed peoples, and raised armies. In addition, he clearly addresses Saladin’s imperial motives, a combination of ambition and devotion to the ideal of unity in Islam. |
|  | Chronicle of the Unknown Edessan by Albert Abouna
The Syriac Chronicle of the Unknown Edessan (Chronicle of 1234) is an important resource for the period stretching from early Islam until the Crusades. The original manuscript, dating from the fourteenth century, was discovered by Patriarch Afram II Rahmani in Istanbul in 1899. The Syriac text was published by Chabot in collaboration with Afram Barsoum (later Patriarch Afram I Barsoum). The chronicle consists of two parts: Part I covers early world history, while Part II covers early Islam and is an eyewitness account of the Crusades. In this edition, Albert Abouna provides an Arabic translation of Part II with annotations. The volume includes comprehensive indices of names and places. |

Written before many of the discoveries that have shaped modern Ancient Near Eastern studies surfaced, Paton was an early explorer of the history of the biblical world. Beginning as far back as turn-of-the-twentieth-century knowledge reached, he explained what was known of the earliest inhabitants of the regions of Syria and Palestine. Informed by the then recent discoveries of Mesopotamian archives, he describes the Old Babylonian days of supremacy and the migration of the Amorites into the region. Focusing on the famed city of Babylon, Paton demonstrates its historical significance. Tracing the migration of the Canaanites, then the period of Egyptian hegemony over the region, the author is now poised to incorporate the Hittites and the Aramaean migration and the consequent rise of their state. Now close to the biblical period, the judges of the Bible are given consideration, as are the kings of Israel and Judah. Naturally the account moves on to the encroachment and rise of Assyria and comes to a conclusion with the Neo-Babylonian empire. Written in a period when the fresh blush of new discovery was in the air, Paton’s account, if not always historically correct, remains a testament to the early days of an emerging field of study that specialist and generalists alike will find fascinating.
Lewis Bayles Paton (1864-1932) was a prominent biblical scholar of his day. He studied at New York University and Princeton. He taught at Hartford Theological Seminary in Connecticut.
