About this book

The crusading movement endured well beyond the 14th century. Across Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe, the desire for crusading continued to wield substantial influence, transcending borders and permeating diverse social strata. This companion brings together pertinent research and organizes a field of study that has become solidified recently. It focuses on crusading activities, rhetoric, discourses, and symbols that left lasting impacts and had global consequences for both Christian and Muslim societies.

With contributions from Marian Coman, André Teixeira, António Lázaro, Pavel Soukoup, Emir O. Filipović, Ferenc Toth, Ana Echevarría, Elma Koric, Ignacio Bernstorff, Iulian Damian, Benjamin Weber, Nikolay Antov, Heribert Müller, Magnus Ressel, Paul Srodecki, Stefan Schröder, James Mixson, Eleni Tounta, Iván Rega Castro, Borja Franco Llopis, Loïc Chollet, Catherine Gaullier-Bougassas, Antonio García Espada, Norman Housley
