About this book

Shortly after the founding of the Ayyubid dynasty, Friedrich Barbarossa established diplomatic relations with Sultan Saladin. The 1175–6 Report on the Orient written in this context by Burchard of Strasbourg gave the Stauffer palace new, up-to-date knowledge about the terra incognita of Egypt and Syria. Most remarkably, though, is the evidence provided by this travelogue of intensive exchange between Christians and Moslems.

Reviews

"Ce sont là des détails. On retiendra plutôt que l’auteur met à disposition, outre l’édition d’un texte latin clairement établi avec les variantes disponibles, une étude très solide (98 pages de bibliographie en caractères serrés, nourrissant des notes de bas de page superlatives), enthousiaste et engagée sur un texte lisse en apparence seulement, en réalité fort complexe, énigmatique même à certains égards. La lecture de cette thèse soutenue à Berlin en 2016 intéressera dès lors tout particulièrement les historiens des territoires concernés (Corse, Sardaigne, Égypte, Syrie, Terre sainte dans une moindre mesure), les spécialistes des récits de voyage, de la transmission des manuscrits et des relations diplomatiques."
