L’Estoire de Jerusalem et Antioche Sources

The French of Outremer website from Fordham University note that the editors at the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres, who included Li Estoire de Jerusalem et d'Antioche in the fifth volume of their Recueil Des Historiens Des Croisades Historiens Occidentaux (1895) believed it to be a heavily abbreviated vernacular version of the crusade chronicle of Fulcher of Chartres dating to the second half of the thirteenth century. The French of Outremer website adds that Estoire adds many details and stories to Fulcher's narrative that seem ultimately to reflect a memory of the expedition that differed from the well-known written traditions. Guidoboni and Comastri (2005) suggest that L’Estoire de Jerusalem et Antioche uses Fulcher of Chartres for its information on the 10 August 1114 CE earthquake.
