Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Jerusalem The emotion, the heat, and the fasting had been too much for him. He wanted to be in the fresh air and alone. But outside in the enclosed court a similar crowd of ardent worshippers Of all races pressed round the movable altars, and prostrated themselves before the tabernacles made from palm-leaves. The officiating priests had to restrict the movements of their arms, and the thurifers, for lack of room, shook their censers up and down instead of swinging them, hundreds of eyes following the bluish fumes ecstatically as they ascended straight to the blue sky above.

Download or read book Or the Siege and Conqueste of Jerusalem Classic Reprint written by William Carton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Or the Siege and Conqueste of Jerusalem It is a book which not only was a standard authority through all the Middle Ages, but one which even up to the present time is regarded as reliable in most particulars, and forms the base of all modern histories of this period. The book was written first in Latin, but was soon put into French, from which Caxton translated it into English. His translation is almost a literal one. He turns many of his French constructions into English, without any attempt at Anglicizing them, even transferring a French word bodily when he does not readily tind its English equivalent. On the whole, he understands his French, although there are incorrect renderings here and there, owing more to hasty reading, it seems, than to actual ignorance.

This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Deliverance of Jerusalem It must never be forgotten that the Syrian people are not Turks either ethnologically, linguistically, or in character and temperament. The Turks - as far as the original stock goes - are all of Turanian origin the Syrians are Semites, at least predominantly, with a mixture of Greek and other strains. As regards lan guage, the language of the Turks, though written in Arabic characters, is in every way distinct from Arabic. Few Syrians __outside Government circles in Palestine know Turkish, and. Their native language (arabic), of which they are justly proud, is banned by the Govern ment, who transact all their business - or did before the war - in Turkish or French. Students at the Syrian Protestant College at Beirut wishing to get their govern ment diplomas in medicine or, pharmacy, were not allowed to present themselves for examination in their own language but in Turkish or' French. All legal documents had to be drawn up in Turkish. The Syrian having legal business had to engage an interpreter just as if he were a foreigner. The Turk never indeed ceased to treat the Syrians as a vanquished people, and the land as a conquered one. The Governors sent from Constantinople were almost without exception Turks and knew Only Turkish or French, sometimes indeed only the former. Their period of appointment was precarious and always short. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jerusalem, the City of Herod and Saladin There is nothing sacred about the actors in this long story we have to tell, and we have not thought it necessary to endeavour to invest them, as is generally done by those who write on Jerusalem, with an appear ance of sanctity because they fought for the City of Sacred Memories, or because they bore the Cross upon their shoulders. We have, on the other hand, endea vowed to show them as they were - men and women actuated by mixed motives, sometimes base, sometimes noble, sometimes interested, sometimes pure and lofty, but always men and women, never saints. The Chris tians in the East were as the' Christians in the West, certainly never better, more often worse. If we have succeeded in making a plain tale, divested of its customary pseudo-religious trappings, interesting and useful, our design is accomplished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jerusalem and the Crusades There is not much water in Palestine in the way Of rivers and lakes, but there are many Springs; and the rain-water is stored up in great, deep cisterns cut out Of the rock. Sometimes we use the Old cisterns that the Romans made, hundreds Of years ago, when they ruled in Palestine: that was long before the Crusaders' days, Of course. In the days Of the Crusaders there were many more forests and many more trees than there are now, and wild beasts were common. There are still some - bears, leopards, wolves, jackals, cheetahs, hyenas, and foxes, and SO on - but they are not really common. There are also some poisonous snakes, and insects that sting, such as scorpions and centipedes; but the land was SO much better covered in the Old days that all these things were far more common, and the Crusaders Often suffered a good deal from their poisonous stings, not knowing what they were.

Download or read book The Siege of Jerusalem written by Conor Kostick and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the final battle of the First Crusade The most extraordinary siege in medieval history began with the arrival of a Christian army at Jerusalem on the dawn of Tuesday, 6 June, 1099. Other sieges may have lasted longer, involved greater numbers of troops, and deployed more siege engines but nothing else in the entire medieval period compares to the extraordinary journey that the besiegers had made to get to their goal and the heady religious enthusiasm among the troops. This was the culmination of the First crusade, a military pilgrimage that had seen hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children leave their homes in Western Europe, march for three years over thousands of miles, and undergo tremendous hardship to reach their longed-for goal: Jerusalem. No other medieval army had made such a journey and no other army had such a peculiar makeup. There were hundreds of unattached poor women, gathered from the margins of Northern French towns by the charity of the charismatic preacher, Peter the hermit, and given a new direction in their lives through the expedition to Jerusalem. There were farmers who had sold their land and homes, put all their belongings in two-wheeled carts, and marched alongside their oxen. Bards came and earned their keep by composing songs about the events they were witnessing, from songs about the heroic charges of the nobles to bawdy satires on the lax behavior of some of the senior clergy. Naturally, knights and foot soldiers were at the heart of the fighting forces, but even here there was a strange fluidity to the army, with the status of a warrior rising or falling depending on his ability to keep his horse alive and his armor in good order. The Siege of Jerusalem offers a vivid and engaging account of the events of that siege; the key figures, the turning points, the spiritual beliefs of the participants, the deep political rivalries, and the massacre of the inhabitants, which left such a deep scar in the horrified imagination of those who learned about it, that it still evokes passionate feelings nearly a thousand years later.
