The Presentation
Herbst's presentation looks at
Muslim depictions of the Crusaders, covering the period
from the Crusader conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 to its recapture in
1187. To discover Muslim views, Herbst works chiefly with first-hand books of
the day, most importantly The Book of Contemplation by Usama ibn Munqidh, and the travelogue of Ibn Jubayr.
