Summary The Holy Land in the Middle Ages presents texts written by medieval Christian, Muslim and Jewish travelers to the Holy Land, a region often caricatured by the images and rhetoric of crusade and jihad. Through most of its medieval history the Holy Land was host to countless curious and devout travelers of all three faiths. They sailed to the same ports, walked and rode the same roads, lodged in the same cities and towns and visited the same secular and sacred sites. The Holy Land in the Middle Ages offers important texts documenting these centuries of peaceful co-existence. 410 pages. Index, bi
