Crusader Castles
Crusader Castles | T. E. Lawrence
5 posts | 2 to read
This is a new edition (the first since 1936) of the classic text on Crusader castles and their relation to Western military architecture written by T.E. Lawrence in 1910. This volume reproduces Lawrence's text, drawings, and photographs; provides a new introduction, critical notes, and index;and reassesses in light of recent scholarship Lawrence's controversial claim that Crusader castles of the 12th century owed more to castles in the West than to anything the Franks found in the East, and that western military architecture absorbed little or nothing from the Orient before the 12thcentury.

Have loved Lawrence‘s writing since I first read Seven Pillars. Crusader Castles which was his thesis has eluded me since I failed to purchase a reprint in Aleppo many years ago. Well I found that the FolioSociety had reprinted a copy and it had to mine. Beautiful edition, illustrated by Lawrence‘s own drawing and letters, plus a collection of the letters he wrote during his travels. A happy arrival on a sad day.

How's this for amazing castle info? T.E.Lawrence's photos and drawings accompany his thesis on the architectural influence of Crusader castles. Visiting Carcassonne was a #bucketlist trip for me. SO cool to see it all over in this #FolioSociety book.

I almost missed posting for #FolioFriday! This delightful castle book was part of my sale box last week. This is a thesis written by T.E.Lawrence on military architecture and the influence of Crusader castles. I know I won't understand most of it, but I am a castle FREAK. So I took a chance. And it paid off. This is packed with his photos and drawings. CASTLES!! Interiors to be posted next...
