Description
  • This 12th-century manuscript contains the Historia Ierosolimitana (History of Jerusalem) by Baudri de Bourgueil (b. c. 1050, d. 1130), abbot of the Benedictine abbey of Bourgueil and bishop of Dol-en-Bretagne. The work presents a history of the events of the First Crusade in four books, beginning with Pope Urban II (b. c . 1042, d. 1099)’s call for the capture of Jerusalem in 1095 and ending in 1099. The Historia is followed by a continuation by Lisiardus Turonensis (fl. c . 1150), a clerk of Tours and dean of the Cathedral Chapter at Laon, that describes the events in the Holy Land after the Battle of Ascalon until 1123. The manuscript also contains the Dialogi contra Judaeos (Dialogue against the Jews) by Petrus Alfonsi (fl. 1106, d. c . 1130), an Andalusian polemicist and translator who had converted from Judaism to Christianity in 1106 and in his work, dated to 1108 or 1110, stages a dialogue between his former Jewish and present Christian selves. Contents: ff. 1r-106v: Baudri de Bourgueil, Historia Ierosolimitana . ff. 107r-163v: Lisiardus Turonensis, a continuation of the Historia . ff. 164v-166v: Petrus Alphonsi, Dialogi contra Judaeos .
