This new edition of Byzantium and the Crusades provides a
fully-revised and updated version of Jonathan Harris's landmark text
in the field of Byzantine and crusader history. The book offers a
chronological exploration of Byzantium and the outlook of its rulers
during the time of the Crusades. It argues that one of the main keys
to Byzantine interaction with Western Europe, the Crusades and the
crusader states can be found in the nature of the Byzantine Empire and
the ideology which underpinned it, rather than in any generalised
hostility between the peoples. Taking recent scholarship into account,
this new edition includes an updated notes section and bibliography,
as well as significant additions to the text: - New material on the
role of religious differences after 1100 - A detailed discussion of
economic, social and religious changes that took place in 12th-century
Byzantine relations with the west - In-depth coverage of Byzantium and
the Crusades during the 13th century - New maps, illustrations,
genealogical tables and a timeline of key dates Byzantium and the
Crusades is an important contribution to the historiography by a major
scholar in the field that should be read by anyone interested in
Byzantine and crusader history.
