Description: The studies in this book are the product of the years that Denys Pringle has spent investigating the material evidence for Latin settlement in Syria and Palestine in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Focusing on the building remains of churches and castles - and their relationship to the landscape - the volume explores the architecture of the Cistercian houses in Jerusalem, the geographical distribution of church buildings, and the influence that factors such as existing local architectural traditions and the need to accommodate visiting pilgrims may have had on the design of Latin churches and religious houses.

Review Quotes: 'Le professeur D. Pringle compte certainement parmi les meilleurs connaisseurs de l'histoire, de l'archéologie et de l'architecture médiévales au Proche-Orient; il est également l'un des auteurs les plus prolixes de la période récente, et les travaux qu'il a publiés depuis le début des années 80 n'ont pas peu contribué au développement de la connaissance de la Terre Sainte.'
