Research on the crusades tends increasingly to bifurcate into study of the crusade idea and the crusading expeditions, and study of the Frankish states the crusaders established in the Levant. Through the articles reproduced in this volume - ten of which deal with the crusading expeditions, while ten study the Frankish Levant - Benjamin Kedar confirms his adherence to the school that endeavours to deal with both branches of research.
