Wikipedia, citing Encyclopædia Britannica (1911), produced the following about Benedetto Accolti the Elder:
Benedetto Accolti (1415–1464), also known as Benedict Aretini Accolti, was an Italian historian who wrote De Bello a Christianis contra Barbaros gesto pro Christi Sepulchro et Judaea recuperandis libri IV (On the War carried on by the Christians against the Barbarians, for the Recovery of Christ's Sepulchre, and of Judea), a history of the First Crusade that is regarded as Crusader propaganda. Published in 1464, the sources are uncertain. (RHC Oc., Volume 5.XI, Runc. Vol I, p. 344)[49]
Black (1985:225) indicates that Accolti's History of the First Crusade was likely completed sometime between November 1463 and 1 August 1464. This work was published in 1895 in Recueil Des Historiens Des Croisades Historiens occidentaux, Volume 5, XI under the Title Historia Gotefridi which is how it is referred to by Guidoboni and Comastri (2005) and Ambraseys (2009).
