The Chronique dâErnoul and the Colbert-Fontainebleau Continuation of William of Tyre (Volume 2)
Series: - The Medieval Mediterranean, Volume: 135/2
Volume 2 of the two-volume set MMed 135: These volumes offer the first critical edition of the Chronique dâErnoul and the so-called Colbert-Fontainebleau (or Acre) Continuation of William of Tyre in over 150 years. The material is accompanied by an extensive introduction, glossary and bibliography. These two thirteenth-century narratives recount the story of the crusades and the Latin East. Both are anonymous; both employed the French vernacular and both contain accounts that are essential for anyone studying the subject.
The Chronique dâErnoul was completed in the 1230s in northern France. The main part of the Colbert-Fontainebleau Continuation of William of Tyre dates to the late 1240s and is a reworking of Ernoul with material going up to 1277; it was composed in the Latin East.

"â¦These two volumes, eagerly anticipated by scholars of crusading history ever since the plan to produce them was first signalled fifteen years ago, offer new critical editions of two key texts in the âOld French Willima of Tyreâ tradition [...] The majority of those advances have been due to the editors themselves, â¦, whose patient scholarship on this subject over more than a quarter of a century ⦠has fundamentally reshaped our knowledge of these texts ... It therefore comes as no surprise that the editions of both texts are superb... Needless to say, these editions are nothing short of magisterial. I do not doubt that they will remain indispensable to historians of the Crusades...

"In conclusione, il lavoro di E. e G., sintesi felicissima delle competenze storiche e filologiche dei due studiosi, ha il merito di fornire a una platea di lettori potenzialmente ampia dei testi cronachistici di grande rilievo, accuratamente editi e accompagnati da ottimi strumenti di analisi e interpretazione. Lâedizione dei testi è lâesito finale di un percorso di ricerca esemplare, le cui tappe intermedie sono scandite dai tanti articoli degli editori, che non si limitano al campo ecdotico [...]. Coloro che lavorano alla storia politica, sociale, linguistica e culturale dellâOriente latino non possono che ral- legrarsi di questi due bei volumi e sperare che E. e G. non abbiano esaurito le loro energie e possano intraprendere unâanaloga impresa volta allâedizione dellâEracles."
