Abstract | The Siege d'Antioche is an Anglo-Norman poem preserved in two manuscripts. It is the only major source for the First Crusade to be without a full edition, and there is no translation or full study. The University of Warwick and Fordham University have launched a new project to provide these. The session will set out the proposed approach and offer early findings on the historical value and literary context of the poem. |
