first edition. "The first modern history of the crusades in English, aside from the account in Richard Knolles, Generall Historie of the Turks (1603) . . . based on Fuller's extensive reading in medieval sources. He was sharply critical of the papacy for promoting the wars in the Holy Land and he analysed shrewdly the reasons for the movement's eventual failure" (ODNB). STC 11464.
