This volume celebrates Peter Edbury’s career by bringing together seventeen essays by colleagues, former students and friends which focus on three of his major research interests: the great historian of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, William of Tyre, and his Historia rerum in partibus transmarinis gestarum and its continuations; medieval Cyprus, in particular under the Lusignans; and the Military Orders in the Middle Ages. All based on original research, the contributions to this volume include new work on manuscripts, ranging from a Hospitaller rental document of the twelfth century to a seventeenth-century manuscript of Cypriot interest; studies of language and terminology in William of Tyre’s chronicle and its continuations; thematic surveys; legal and commercial investigations pertaining to Cyprus; aspects of memorialization, and biographical studies. These contributions are bracketed by a foreword written by Peter Edbury’s PhD supervisor, Jonathan Riley-Smith, and an appreciation of Peter’s own publications by Christopher Tyerman.
Excerpt from Memoirs of John Selden: And Notices of the Political Contest During His Time There is no period of our national History more crowded with interesting events, or in which more worthy characters shone forth than in the first half of the seventeenth century. In that period came forward the struggle that determined the just limits of the Crown's prerogative and of the People's liberty: - that struggle which stained England for the last time with the bloodshed of civil war: - that struggle in which one Monarch died upon the scaffold, and another was ejected from the throne; - in which the nation escaped from one tyranny but to yield to another and then returned to its former oppression before it could attain the just equipoise of freedom. It was a period of eventful transition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
