"Muslims and Crusaders presents the Crusades from the perspective of those against whom they were waged, the Muslim peoples of the Levant"--Provided by publisher.

The text serves as a significant historical document detailing a call to military jihad against European invaders in 1105, authored by Muslim jurisprudent 'Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami. It offers insight into the Muslim response to the Crusades and is the first contemporary record of such preaching. This edition includes the first full English translation of the surviving manuscript sections, accompanied by an introductory study on al-Sulami's influences and techniques, as well as translations of related sermons by Ibn Nubata al-Fariqi.
