Description:

Contains work by 20 contributors, representing six nations on three continents, reflecting the most recent research on a crusade which mobilized Europe on a larger scale than any expedition undertaken since the Roman Empire. Particular attention is paid to the role played by St Bernard.

Synopsis:

No subject in medieval history is changing as rapidly as crusade studies. Even so, the Second Crusade has been oddly neglected. The present volume is the first ever to have been devoted to it in English and one of the few which has appeared in any language. Particular attention is paid to the key role played by St.Bernard and the Cistercians in this crusade and their relations with the Military Orders. An interdisciplinary approach is taken, incorporating history, art and music. The Volume contains unparalleled bibliography, listing over 700 primary and secondary sources.
