'... exemplary annotated translation... The text is a lively and sometimes moving account of the last years of Outremer written by a man who lived through the tumultuous events and witnessed many of them at first hand. His is the only eye-witness account of the fall of Acre in 1291 and his description of this last desperate engagement is one of the most vivid portrayals of battle in medieval literature.... This work makes a worthy addition to the Ashgate series of Crusader texts in translation which is proving so useful to teachers and students alike...' English Historical Review
