Bibliography
of
the First Crusade
compiled
by
Alan
V.
Murray
This is a classified bibliography which is intended to cover the
main sources, events, personalities and themes
of
the First Crusade,
as well
as
providing some basic reading on its ideological and
political background. It does not claim to be exhaustive, but
concentrates on work published since the Second World War, while
also including some
of
the most important and/or accessible works
of
the foregoing period. For a more detailed treatment
of
crusading
bibliography for the nineteenth and the earlier part
of
the twentieth
century, the reader is referred to the works by Hans Eberhard Mayer
(section
1.1
below).
An
outline
of
the bibliography is given on the following
pages. In the sections on sources and commentary, editions and
translations are grouped together first, and followed by secondary
works. For technical reasons, the format
of
citations in the
bibliography is slightly different from that employed in the notes to
the rest
of
this volume; however, the bibliography provides rather
more detailed information on each item. Frequently cited collective
works such as Festschriften, collected essays and conference
papers are normally given in abbreviated form; full publication
details
of
such works are given at section 1.2. Where relevant,
cross-references are given at the end
of
sections. For reasons
of
space, it has not been possible to include collections
of
documents,
cartularies or literary texts such
as
the Chanson d'Antioche.
