Synopsis

Wilhelm Von Heyd, in this work which appeared first in German in 1879, traces the reasons behind the Crusade wars and studied the colonies of the Crusades in the Holy Land and how they prospered. He also discusses the commercial routes of the Europeans through Arab lands and the position of each European power towards the Levants.
