The History of Jerusalem
Reading translation from the 1866 Recueil print of Robert’s history of the Jerusalem journey, with RHC page citations, notes, and a glossary. Not a critical edition of the Latin.
Robert, a monk of a cell of Saint Remigius at Reims, wrote the Historia Iherosolimitana from the council of Clermont through the taking of Jerusalem and the close of book nine. He says an abbot named Bernard set him to put a head on a headless history and to write it more carefully.
Translated from Latin with AI assistance; edited by Paul McMurry. No existing English translation of Robert was used as a source. Kempf & Bull 2013 was not opened.
