AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Albert Michaud. History of the Crusades. Naples: Marotta e Vanspandoch, 1831. Beautiful edition of the famous work on the complex subject of the Crusades by the illustrious French historian. The work treats the early official Crusades, from the expedition of Peter the Hermit in 1096 to the last Crusade of Louis IX the Saint. The deeds of figures who have now become legendary—Godfrey of Bouillon, Saladin, Richard the Lionheart, and Frederick Barbarossa—around whom the mass of ordinary men and women who followed the great leaders into unknown lands revolves. The exposition is then extended to many of the subsequent conflicts involving Christians and Muslims, up to the Battle of Lepanto. Twelve volumes in four bindings. Fine half-leather binding. Gilded title on the spine. Spine decorated with gold friezes. Illustrated by two large folded maps depicting the Gulf of Constantinople and the Theater of the Crusades in Upper Egypt. Dimensions 12x8, pages 179, 179, 180, 180, 208, 180, 180, 179, 180, 180, 180, 201. Excellent condition.
