Andrews presents the first ever in-depth study of the history written by this Armenian priest, who lived in Edessa (modern-day Urfa in Turkey) around the turn of the twelfth century and was an eyewitness to the First Crusade and the establishment of the Latin East. Although the Chronicle is known as an extremely valuable source of information for the eleventh- and early twelfth-century Near East, neither its guiding structure nor Uṙhayecʿi's motivation in writing it have ever been clear to modern historians. This study elucidates the prophetic framework within which the text was written, and demonstrates how that framework has influenced Uṙhayecʿi's understanding of the time in which he lived.The Medieval Mediterranean108.CrusadesFirst, 1096-1099SourcesLatin OrientHistoryArmeniaHistory428-1522Electronic books.Crusades956.62014Andrews Tara L(Tara Lee),1978-977613NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910155552503321Matt'eos Urhayec'i and his chronicle2227241UNINA
