The Christian, Greek-speaking Byzantine empire was placed rather uneasily between western Christendom and the Islamic world during the Crusade era. Like all historical topics - particularly medieval - sources on the crusades give a variety of perspectives and accounts, but Byzantine writers provide a unique outlook on these crucial events.

Byzantine Sources for the Crusades, 1095-1204 brings together important sources on the Crusades into one volume. The texts translated here include established accounts, such as selections from Anna Komnene's description of the passage of the First Crusade in 1096-8, John Kinnamos' writings on the Second Crusade and Niketas Choniates' studies on the Second and Third Crusades, particularly covering the passage of German emperor Frederick I Barbarossa during the latter. However, less well-known accounts are also translated and provided, such as Zonaras' and the contemporary letters of the archbishop of Ohrid during the First Crusade, various poems and speeches recorded throughout the reigns of John II and Manuel I Komnenos and smaller accounts about crusaders passing through the Byzantine Empire.
