Book Description
Cushing, who holds a bachelor's degree from the U. of Toronto, has produced a side-by-side translation of Caxton's 15th-century English translation of William of Tyre's French history of the crusades. In this second and concluding volume (covering chapters 113-212), we read of the battles of Duke Godfrey, the Count of Toulouse, and Count Baldwin; the capture of Jerusalem and slaughter that followed; and the dividing up of the city among the Crusaders. A bibliography and list of Internet sites is included. c. Book News Inc.
