Thisdramatic story has always fired the imagination and fuelled debate. And, overthe centuries, the crusades have been subject to startling variedinterpretation: held up as proof of the folly of religious faith and the basesavagery of human nature, or promoted as glorious expressions of Christian territory.The crusaders themselves have been depicted as both land-hungry brutes andpilgrim soldiers inspired by fervent piety; and their Muslim rivals portrayedas vicious and tyrannical oppressors, ardent fanatics or devout paragons ofhonour and clemency.
这个带有戏剧性的故事总是引发丰富的想象，并且时常引起争论。几个世纪以来，人们对于十字军东征总是有着各种各样的解读：坚持它只是一场披着宗教信仰外衣的闹剧和人类最原始的野蛮行为，或者把它提升到骑士精神和传播文明的殖民运动的高度。他们已经被认为是欧洲历史上黑暗时代的一段插曲——当不知满足的西方野蛮人无缘无故的发动战争，企图对无意挑衅的伊斯兰文明发动战争——或者只是从事为了从穆斯林侵略者的手中夺回基督教领地的战争。十字军士兵本身也已经被描述为既是对有着对领土的贪婪的侵略者，又有着宗教狂热的前往朝圣的士兵；同事他们的穆斯林对手被描绘成狂热、邪恶、残暴的压迫者，或者虔诚的既有无上荣光又慈悲为怀的十全十美的人。

Thisbook explores the history of crusades from both the Christian and Muslimperspective-focusing, in particular, upon the contest for control the HolyLand-and examines how medieval contemporaries experienced and remembered thecrusades. It draws upon the wonderfully rich time of available written evidence(or primary sources) from the Middle Ages: the likes of chronicles, letters andlegal documents, poems and songs; recorded in languages as diverse as Latin, OldFrench, Arabic, Hebrew, Armenian, Syriac and Greek. Beyond these texts, thestudy of materials remains-from imposing castles to delicate manuscript art andminuscule coins-has thrown new light on the crusading era. Throughout, originalresearch has been informed by the great outpouring of modern scholarship in thefield witnessed over the past 50 years.
这本书从基督徒和穆斯林双方的观点来探讨十字军的历史——尤其关注对圣地控制权的争夺——以及中世纪时代的人们怎样经历和记住十字军。它引用了极其丰富的中世纪有价值的证据（或者说原始材料）：例如用不同的语言——拉丁语、古法语、阿拉伯语、希伯来语、亚美尼亚语、古叙利亚语和希腊语记录的编年史、信件和合法的记录、诗句和歌谣。除了这些书面材料以外，对于文物——精致的城堡设计图和写有小字的货币——使十字军时代的研究领域出现了新的亮点。在过去的五十年里，原始资料的研究自始至终就被带有强烈现代观点倾向的学者所重视。

翻译了四段，楼主要休息了。趁12点还没有到，祝各位中秋快乐。p.s.翻译原版书刊是个十分淘神费力的活儿，选择需谨慎。
