This second collection of papers by Peter Edbury focuses primarily on
the literature either composed in the Latin East or closely associated
with it. The legal treatises from the kingdom of Jerusalem and from
Cyprus and Antioch have long been recognized as providing insights
into the juridical and social history of these places in the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries, and some of the papers re-issued here
reflect the author's work in re-editing two of the most famous of
these treaties, those by John of Ibelin-Jaffa and Philip of Novara.
The studies on historical literature are chiefly concerned with
vernacular texts, most notably the Old French translation of William
of Tyre and its Continuations, again much a result of his current work
on a new edition of the Continuations and the associated text known as
La Chronique d'Ernoul. Other papers concerned with aspects of the
narrative traditions that furnish a significant part of our knowledge
of Lusignan Cyprus in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and
with which in one way or another Peter Edbury has been engaged since
the early 1970s.
