Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The First Crusade: A Poem The Crusades were among the most remarkable events that ever occurred in the history of mankind; but whether they were on the whole beneficial to the world, or otherwise, has been doubted by many. It is wonderful to relate that, after severe sufferings, and great loss of life, the Christians gained the Holy City, and established in Palestine what was for many years known as the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, which was at length lost, and caused, in the process of events, the fall of Constantinople, and the sway of the Turks, in a portion of Europe, itself Following the capture of this city, and the migrations of many learned Grecians to Italy and other countries of the West, there occurred a revival of learning, in which the works of the great poets, historians, and philosophers of old, became known, which resulted in the diffusion of light throughout all countries, and in the cultivation of the sciences and arts, whose blessings we so richly enjoy at this day. This present outline of the First Crusade, if favorably received, may be followed by others embracing the entire period, chief events, and incidents that marked them all.
