Appendix 1 contains principal sources for the History of the Later Crusades; Intellectual Life in Outremer, and Genealogical Trees. There also is a bibliography of Original Sources and Modern Works, along with an index. Sir James Cochran Stevenson Runciman CH FBA (7 July 1903 - 1 November 2000), known as Steven Runciman, was an English historian best known for his three-volume A History of the Crusades (1951-54). His three-volume history has had a profound impact on common conceptions of the Crusades, primarily portraying the Crusaders negatively and the Muslims favorably. Runciman was a strong admirer of the Byzantine Empire, and consequently held a bias against the Crusaders for the Fourth Crusade evident in his work. While praised by older crusade historians as a storyteller and prose stylist, he is viewed as biased by some contemporary historians. For much of his life he was an independent scholar, living on private means. He went on to be a press attache at the British Legation in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, in 1940 and at the British Embassy in Cairo in 1941. From 1942 to 1945 he was Professor of Byzantine Art and History at Istanbul University, in Turkey, where he began the research on the Crusades which would lead to his best known work, the History of the Crusades. From 1945 to 1947 he was a representative in Athens of the British Council. Most of Runciman's historical works deal with Byzantium and her medieval neighbors between Sicily and Syria. Runciman held sympathies toward the Byzantine Empire and blamed the Crusaders, whom he considered "intolerant barbarians", for causing the downfall of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade. The author's third and final volume carries the crusade story from the Third Crusade to the fall of the Latin east at the close of the thirteenth century, with an epilogue on the later crusades. Except for the Third and Fourth Crusades, the thirteenth-century expeditions are less well known than those of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Even less understood are the politics of Latin Syria and Cyprus. As a consequence, this volume, which is the first detailed treatment in English of the Thirteenth-century Orient, will prove immensely valuable. Further, it includes the pertinent developments in farther Asia. There is an excellent discussion of the Mongols, their conquests in Asia, their intrusion into the Levant, and their diplomatic relations with Europe. A History of the Crusades by Steven Runciman, published in three volumes during 1951-1954, is an influential work in the historiography of the Crusades. It has seen numerous reprints and translations and in some respects has come to be seen as a standard work on the topic. Its scope encompasses the ascendancy of Islam in the Levant during the early 7th century through to the fall of the Kingdom of Acre in 1291. The work draws on a wide range of primary sources (in Greek, Latin, Armenian, Arabic). At the time of its initial publication it offered a novel interpretation of the crusades, less as a defensive war of Christendom against the threat of Islamic expansion but as a continuation of the destructive "barbarian invas.
