Guillelmus Tyrensis, or William of Tyre, is best known for his chronicle of twenty-three unfinished books, the Historia rerum gestarum in partibus transmarinis. This was translated as History of Deeds Done Beyond the Sea by E. A. Babcock and A. C. Krey in an English edition published in 1943.The work begins with the conquest of Syria by Umar, but devotes considerable coverage to the First Crusade and the history of the Kingdom of Jeursalem. Although William relied on other sources for the composition of his chronicle, including Fulcher of Chartres, the work is among the most valuable of crusades primary sources and has contributed to William's unofficial title as "Historian of the Crusades." A well known translation into Old French had many anonymous additions made to it in the 13th century, including the so-called chronicle of Ernoul.The Latin original was published in various places including the Patrologia Latina, from which the following full Latin text is provided below, and the Recueil des historiens des croisades. The standard Latin critical edition was published as Willelmi Tyrensis Archiepiscopi Chronicon in the Corpus Christianorum in 1986, edited by R. B. C. Huygens.
