Abstract
Jacques Paviot’s edition (or, in some cases, new edition) of eight crusading projects composed between 1290 and 1330 has opened up promising avenues of research on the phenomenon of the Crusades. Two subjects are particularly important. First, the ways in which divergent memories of the crusade were transmitted, and, second, the evolution of approaches to warfare. The crusading projects refl ect a tension between celebration and hostility, in the form of sharp criticism of the utility of such enterprises and calls for other approaches to dealing with Islam. Emphasizing as they do tactical efficiency and feasibility, they also reveal the development of original and thoroughly pragmatic concepts of warfare.
