Book Description
Excerpt from The Pilgrimage of Joannes Phocas in the Holy Land (in the Year 1185 A. D.) Whilst, my excellent friend Nihusius, I was at Chios, diligently turning over various mss., obtained in various places, there came into my hands the 'brief description, by Joannes Phocas, of the (holy) places in Palestine and Syria, ' not very well written in very small characters upon silk. He appeared an elegant and accurate writer, considering the time at which he lived, and consequently I had intended to read him carefully, but being occupied with other business, neglected to do. So. Many years afterwards, when at Rome, I was recalling to my memory the mss. Which I had seen, and in the course of familiar conversation the subject of the Holy Places had been mentioned, I again remembered Phocas, and conceived a great desire to obtain him for myself. I wrote again and again to my friends, and even to him who had given me the use of the ms. I begged and prayed and even offered rewards; but I only wasted my time. I always received a prompt answer to all my inquiries, except only about this one writer. Consequently, I at last ceased to trouble about him. However, after a year had passed, while I was interested in other matters, mss. Reached me from a friend who had just come from Chios. While I was looking over their titles, behold Phocas appeared, dropped as it were from the skies, not written in another hand, but the very original which I had seen at Chios.

Book Description
Written to celebrate the prestigious career of Professor Denys Pringle, this collection of articles produced by many of the leading archaeologists and historians in the field of crusades studies offers a compilation of pioneering scholarship on recent studies on the Latin East. The geographical breadth of topics discussed in each chapter reflects both Pringle’s international collaborations and research interests, and the wide development of scholarly interest in the subject. With a concentration on the areas corresponding to the crusader states during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the articles also offer research into the neighbouring areas of Cyprus, Anatolia, Greece and the West, and the legacy of the crusader period there, with results from recent archaeological fieldwork in the Middle East.

Book Description
Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages illuminates how the floor surface shaped the ways in which people in medieval western Europe and beyond experienced sacred spaces. The ground beneath our feet plays a crucial, yet often overlooked, role in our relationship with the environments we inhabit and the spaces with which we interact. By focusing on this surface as a point of encounter, Lucy Donkin positions it within a series of vertically stacked layers—the earth itself, permanent and temporary floor coverings, and the bodies of the living above ground and the dead beneath—providing new perspectives on how sacred space was defined and decorated, including the veneration of holy footprints, consecration ceremonies, and the demarcation of certain places for particular activities. Using a wide array of visual and textual sources, Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages also details ways in which interaction with this surface shaped people's identities, whether as individuals, office holders, or members of religious communities. Gestures such as trampling and prostration, the repeated employment of specific locations, and burial beneath particular people or actions used the surface to express likeness and difference. From pilgrimage sites in the Holy Land to cathedrals, abbeys, and local parish churches across the Latin West, Donkin frames the ground as a shared surface, both a feature of diverse, distant places and subject to a variety of uses over time—while also offering a model for understanding spatial relationships in other periods, regions, and contexts.
