Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crusades and the Crusaders The piety and chivalry exhibited by those Christian warriors, who, at an early period of European civilization, left their homes and their countries to rescue the Holy Sepulchre from the grasp of Moslem conquerors, have since seldom - save in the case of men too sceptical to sym pathize, or too stupid to comprehend - failed to excite admiration and curiosity. My object, in this book for boys, is to give an idea of the heroes who, animated by religion and heroism, took part in the battles, the sieges, the marvellous enterprises of valor and despair, which make up the history of those great adventures known as the Crusades.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crusaders, or Scenes, Events, and Characters, From the Times of the Crusades HE seventh century of the Christian era was witness of a great and sudden change in the moral and poli tical condition of the East. It is marked by the appear. Ance of Mohammed the Prophet of God, as he is styled by those who profess his religion. It is not our intention to become the panegyrists of the Prophet, but truth compels us to acknowledge that he possessed many great and noble qualities; and we might in charity believe, that, born as he was in the midst of idolatry, with the whole world lying in dark ness around him, the light-religion? Of Persia (by far the purest system Of unrevealed religion) sunk and de graded, the Mosaic law become a burdensome and pue rile superstition, and even Christianity itself nearly lost beneath the weight of false philosophy and abject ido latty - he may have been sincere in the first enunciation of the sublime sentence on which his religious system rests, There is no God but God.

Download or read book The First Crusade written by August C. Krey and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Crusade: The Accounts of Eyewitnesses and Participants When Henry Adams sought to triangulate the progress of modern civilization he fixed his historical transit at Mont St. Michel and Chartres in the days of the First Crusade and sighted from them across the centuries. No earlier place in the Middle Ages would have afforded a foundation of equal breadth in its description of society. The spiritual character of the Crusade lent a halo to even the most commonplace details connected with it and thus gave to them a literary immortality hitherto confined rather narrowly to matters of ecclesiastical interest. The widespread enthusiasm for the movement and participation in it assured its commemoration not only in monuments of stone but in a variety of writings as well. The authors of these accounts were neither sophisticated nor highly trained in their art. The picture of society which they drew, though relatively complete, has stood forth with all the simple and stark realism of a charcoal sketch, full of feeling, action, and scenery, but lacking in finish. The polish and finish have come with the later centuries. For those, however, who would understand that society even in its more finished form, a knowledge of the preliminary sketch is still essential. In these lack-o-Latin days students seeking to accomplish this find their path too much beset with linguistic obstacles. It is to ameliorate these difficulties that the present volume has been compiled. The plan of this work will be found reminiscent of Archers Crusade of Richard I and the Parallel Source Problems of Mediaeval History, The author gratefully acknowledges indebtedness to both.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crusaders, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Scenes, Events, and Characters, From the Times of the Crusades Tn: present work, as is sufficiently indicated by its title, is not designed to be a regular history of the Crusades. It is a picture of manners rather than a narrative of events. The object proposed has been to set before the view of the reader, as clearly as the existing documents permit, the Crusa ders, the Greeks, the Turks, and the Saracens, of the twelfth century, as they lived, thought, and acted. Hence there will be found much more of anecdote in the following pages than is per haps consistent with legitimate historic narrative. Discussion has been avoided as being unsuitable to a work of this kind, and reflections are intro duced only where they seem to be required, and vpresented themselves naturally. The narration, 5 though not laying claim to the rank of history, is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

They considered how great the expense had been and said to one another that they could not go to Babylon or Alexandria or Syria; for they had neither provisions nor money for the journey. They had already used up everything they had, either during the sojourn that they had made or in the great price that they had paid for the vessels. They said that they could not go and, even if they should go, they would accomplish nothing; they had neither provisions nor money sufficient to support them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crusaders, Vol. 2 of 2: Or, Scenes, Events, and Characters, From the Times of the Crusades The flattering reception which the first volume of the crusaders, ' destitute of novelty as the subject might appear to be, has met with, causes the appear ance of the present volume, which like the former embraces the space of about half a century. In this the narrative is carried down to the taking of J eru salem by sultan Saladin, and terminates with the crusade headed by Philip Augustus and Richard Caeur de Lion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Crusades Villehardouin's story opens with the closing years of the twelfth century. In those years, as he tells, Fulk of Neuilly, near Paris, a priest well known for his holiness and zeal, began to preach a new Crusade; and Fulk's words, so men thought, were confirmed by many signs and miracles; and even apart from such supernatural aid, it is not difficult, I think, to conjecture wherein lay the force of his appeal or to imagine its nature. But while he was descanting on the necessity for another attempt to recover the Holy Land, and setting forth the glories and spiritual advantages of the pro posed adventure, did he ever dwell at all, one wonders, on the story of the Crusades that had already been undertaken? Did he unfold for his hearers that tragic and terrible scroll in the history of men - a scroll on which are recorded in strange, intermingled, fantastic characters, tales of saintly heroism, and fraud, and greed, and cruelty, and wrong - of sufferings at which one sickens, and foul deeds at which one sickens more, and acts of devotion and high courage that have found their place among the heirlooms and glories of mankind?

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crusades: The Story of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem The circumstances of the present series forbid that constant citation of authorities in notes, which might otherwise be desirable but the fact that the narrative has in the main been compiled from the writings of contemporary historians, will, it is hoped, have given it some merit of freshness, even though the conclu sions arrived at may often not differ materially from those of other writers.
