title: Crusader Art: The Art of the Crusaders in the Holy Land, 1099-1291
author: Professor Jaroslav Folda
description: 'First class. .. Crusader Art has been receiving more attention in recent years, but Jaroslav Folda is definitely the international leader in the field. I think all libraries will want to buy this, not least because it contains a stunning new idea: that crusader art had an influence on the early stages of the Renaissance. Folda is very well known ideed ... Art history is a subject of growing importance to historians of the Latin East. I think historians will flock to buy this book.' --Jonathan Riley-Smith, Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History Emeritus, Emmanuel College Cambridge<br /><br />Folda is the authority on Crusader art. This celebration of the visual traditions to which he has dedicated his career is designed for a more general readership. While the academic reader will not find new or detailed information about the art of the crusades, even specialist scholars will be particularly interested in this vivid, succinct, and integrated narrative of Crusader art and its development. --Cecily Hilsdale, Department of Art History and Communication Studies, McGill University
