The Latin Orient (1920)

The Latin Orient is a historical book written by William Miller and first published in 1920. The book explores the history of the Latin East, a term used to describe the territories of the Eastern Mediterranean that were once under the control of the Crusaders. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which deals with the history of the Crusades and the establishment of the Latin Kingdoms in the East. The second part focuses on the subsequent history of the Latin East, including the decline and eventual collapse of the Crusader states, the rise of the Mamluk Sultanate, and the impact of the Ottoman Empire on the region. The book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the political, social, and cultural developments in the Latin East and sheds light on the complex interactions between the various groups that inhabited the region. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of medieval history and the Crusades.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
