Books by Giles Constable

The articles in this volume deal with the history of the abbey of Cluny, both its relations with the outside world and its internal organization and spirituality, from its foundation in 910, until the end of the 12th century.

A collection of articles concentrating on culture and spirituality in the 11th and 12th centuries. The cultural articles are concerned with perceptions of time and the past and entry to religious life. The articles on spirituality deal with themes of suffering and attitudes towards the self.

Crusading in the twelfth century was less a series of discrete events than a manifestation of an endemic phenomenon that touched almost every aspect of life at that time. This book includes various versions of Giles Constable's classic essays on medieval crusading, along with two major studies on the cross of the crusaders and the Fourth Crusade.
