"This book is especially valuable to both art historians and crusade historians, since it provides much that they would otherwise overlook."
(Catholic Historical Review)"France and the Holy Land brings together some of the finest scholars on the medieval period, offering a series of essays on a variety of subjects related to Frankish culture in the crusader states and, when pertinent to the Crusades, in France itself. Each piece is interesting and valuable: many are gems, combining extraordinary scholarship with smart writing; a few will make major contributions to the literature. As a whole, this volume is unique."
(William C. Jordan, Princeton University)"This volume makes an excellent contribution to our understanding of the Crusades and culture during the High Middle Ages."
(Comitatus)"Offers a wide-ranging examination of cultural interchange in the Levant, which will be of interest not only for art historians but for scholars of the Latin East in general."
(Iris Shagrir Mediterranean Historical Review)"It will be quarried for its information and ideas for many years to come."
