Saladin and the Fall of the Kingdom of Jerusalem (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

This vintage book contains Stanley Lane Poole's 1898 biography of the twelfth century Sultan of Egypt and Syria; Saladin. This extensive and uniquely insightful biography was the first of its kind in the English language, and tells the fascinating story of where Saladin came from, how he attained his control of the Saracens' army, his conquering of much of the Frankish kingdoms, as well as his attempt to take back Jerusalem. Highly recommended for those with an interest in the Crusades, this antiquarian biography would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "Saladin's World", "The First Crusade, 1098", "The Harbinger, 1127", "The Fall of Jerusalem, 1127", "The Fall of Edessa, 1127-1144", "Saladin's Youth", "The Conquest of Egypt", "Vezir of Egypt", "Saladin at Cairo", "The Conquest of Syria", "Truces and Treaties", etcetera. Stanley Edward Lane-Poole (1854 - 1931) was a British archaeologist and orientalist. Many vintage texts such as this, especially those dating back to the 1900s and before, are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
