Just received (FedEx delivers non-overnight packages on Saturdays?) today, three-volume sets of D.S. Richards’ translation of The Chronicle of Ibn al-Athir for the Crusading Period from al-Kamil fi’l-Ta’rikh. Parts 1-3: The Years 491–629/1097–1231. The three-book set has been added to the website; we shall add the individual titles within the next day or two. This brings to a dozen or so the number of titles we carry of translations of period sources concerning the Crusades.

When we got back from vacation a week ago, we found in the held-mail containers copies of Corwin’s Chasing and Repousse: Methods Ancient and Modern.
