Description: The Conquest of Santarm and Goswins Song of the Conquest of Alccer do Sal by Jonathan Wilson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Accompanied by comprehensive introductions and here translated into English for the first time, the two texts presented in this volume provide unique eyewitness testimony of the Christian conquests of Santarém in 1147 by King Afonso I, and of Alcácer do Sal in 1217. Publisher Description Achieved at the height of the Crusades, the Christian conquests of Santarém in 1147 by King Afonso I, and of Alcácer do Sal in 1217 by Portuguese forces and northern European warriors on their way by sea to Palestine, were crucial events in the creation of the independent kingdom of Portugal. The two texts presented here survive in their unique, thirteenth-century manuscript copies appended to a codex belonging to one of Europes most important monastic library collections accumulated in the Cistercian abbey of Alcobaça, founded c. 1153 by Bernard of Clairvaux. Accompanied by comprehensive introductions and here translated into English for the first time, these extraordinary texts are based on eyewitness testimony of the conquests. They contain much detail for the military historian, including data on operational tactics and the ideology of Christian holy war in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Literary historians too will be delighted by the astonishing styles deployed, demonstrating considerable authorial flamboyance, flair and innovation. While they are likely written by Goswin of Bossut, the search for authorship yields an impressive array of literary friends and associates, including James of Vitry, Thomas of Cantimpré, Oliver of Paderborn and Caesarius of Heisterbach. Author Biography Jonathan Wilson (PhD, Liverpool) is a Researcher in the Institute of Medieval Studies (IEM), Universidade Nova, Lisbon, and Research Fellow in the project Cistercian Horizons (IEM Nova, University of Évora, Catholic University of Portugal, Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, Monastery of Alcobaça) financed by Fundação de Ciências e Tecnologia (FCT), Portugal.
