Books by James Muldoon

"An important book that clarifies both the continued Spanish preoccupation with the legitimacy of conquest and colonization of the Americas and the persistent strength of medieval intellectual thought dating back, in large part, to the thirteenth century."-Sixteenth-Century Journal

The Novanglus essays (1774-75), traced the origin of the colonies, demonstrating that Parliament played no role in their establishment and so had no role in their internal governance without the colonists' subsequent consent.

This volume traces the theory that humanity forms a single community and that there exists a body of law governing the relations among the members of the community. These ideas appeared in medieval writings and paved the way for notions of international legal order and universal norms of behaviour.

Suitable for students and readers with a general interest in medieval history, this anthology juxtaposes the recorded experiences and views of participants on the opposing sides in the Crusades. Each chapter focuses on an event, such as the Crusader massacre of the inhabitants of Jerusalem in 1099 and the Siege of Damascus in 1148.
