This volume presents a penetrating analysis of the attitudes of Latin Christendom towards Jerusalem in the period from the First Crusade to the Muslim capture of the city in 1187. Based on a detailed examination of the source materials from poetry and song to chronicles and charters this book paints a clear picture of the place of the Earthly and the Heavenly Jerusalem in Latin Christendom.
