Servise de Marriage and Law Enforcement in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem

Abstract

Amnon Linder, professor of medieval history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has published seminal studies in the history of the Christian Holy Land and in Jewish-Christian relations in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. In recent years he has dedicated himself to the study of medieval liturgy, particularly Crusader liturgy of the liberation and destruction of Jerusalem (forthcoming as the next volume in this series). The essays gathered here from friends, colleagues and students of Prof. Linder pick up the themes of his publications — medieval law, liturgy and literature. The papers deal with a variety of sources, encompass the fourth to fifteenth centuries, and span from the Holy Land to the British Isles.
