Crusades Bibliography This bibliography is presented in two parts including sections that are thematically arranged for the Crusades Encyclopedia as well as external links to other bibliographies on the crusades or related topics. This project is obviously a work in progress that will take years to substantially complete as the ultimate goal is to annotate all listed sources. Currently all thematic bibliographies offered by the Crusades-Encyclopedia offer only secondary sources, although an extensive primary source bibliography will be added at some time in the future. Please contact Andrew Holt at apholt@ufl.edu to suggest additional works for inclusion in these bibliographies.
