Crusader Landscapes in the Medieval Levant

9781783169245

Même si c’est avec un peu de retard, il fallait bien parler du très bel ouvrage coédité par Micaela Sinibaldi, Kevin J. Lewis, Balázs Major et Jennifer A. Thompson, consacré à l’Orient médiéval.

Tout d’abord parce qu’il s’agit d’un travail voulant rendre hommage à la carrière exceptionnelle de Denys Pringle ; mais aussi parce qu’il propose 27 articles faisant un état de l’art très large des recherches en cours en matière d’Orient médiéval.

Il est notamment disponible sur le site de l’éditeur, les University of Wales Press.

Une des conférence de lancement de l’ouvrage est librement disponible sur le site Soundcloud.

Voilà la liste complète des articles du livre :
