Historia belli sacri
The ''Historia belli sacri'' (History of the Holy War) is a chronicle of the First Crusade written by an anonymous monk of the Abbey of Montecassino. It was composed some time after 1131,〔Or "towards the year 1130", as in John France, "The Use of the Anonymous ''Gesta Francorum'' in the Early Twelfth-Century Sources for the First Crusade," in Alan V. Murray, ed., ''From Clermont to Jerusalem: The Crusades and Crusader Societies, 1095–1500'' (Turnhout: Brepols, 1998), 29–42.〕 based in large part on the equally anonymous ''Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum'' and also incorporating fragments from the ''Historia Francorum qui ceperunt Iherusalem'', the ''Gesta Tancredi'' and other unknown texts.〔John France, ("Note sur le manuscrit 6041 A du fonds latin de la Bibliothèque nationale: un nouveau fragment d'un manuscrit de l'''Historia Belli Sacri''" ), ''Bibliothèque de l'école des chartes'' 126:2 (1968), 413–16.〕 Although heavily reliant on the ''Gesta Francorum'', it is an important source for the Italo-Norman crusaders.〔John France, ''Victory in the East: A Military History of the First Crusade'' (Cambridge: 1994), 379; see also pp. 163, 166, 244–45.〕 Like the history of Robert the Monk and Guibert of Nogent's ''Dei gesta per Francos'', both of which were used as sources by its anonymous author, the ''Historia belli sacri'' is "a serious and careful effort to rework the ''Gesta'' story and add to it significant information which is not found in any other source."〔France (1998), 37.〕 It was, after all, "written in an age when there were still survivors of the First Crusade."〔France (1998), 38–39.〕
For a long time the only known manuscript of the ''Historia belli sacri'' was to be found in the library of Montecassino. It was first edited by Jean Mabillon for his ''Museum Italicum'' (Paris, 1687), and this edition was re-published in the ''Recueil des Historiens des Croisades'' under the title ''Tudebodus imitatus et continuatus''. It was regarded by the editors as an "imitation" and "continuation", along with the ''Gesta Francorum'', of Petrus Tudebodus' ''Historia de Hierosolymitano itinere''.〔 A second fragment of the ''Historia belli sacri'' was discovered in Latin manuscript 6041 A of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. This fourteenth-century Italian manuscript once belonged to François Roger de Gaignières. The catalogue of the Bibliothèque's Latin section, published in 1774, lists the third document of MS 6041 A as " a history of Jerusalem by Pons of Baladun and Raymond, canon of Le Puy" (''Pontii de Baladuno et Raimundi, canonici Podiensis, Historia Hierosolymitana''). The actual third document in the MS is not only a copy of the ''Historia Francorum qui ceperunt Iherusalem'', usually attributed to Pons of Baladun and Raymond of Aguilers, but rather a compilation, by an unknown editor, of portions of three distinct works: the ''Historia Francorum'' (for the period up to the siege of Antioch), the ''Historia belli sacri'' (for the period from there to the conquest of Ramla) and the ''Gesta Francorum'' (for the period from Ramleh to the battle of Ascalon).〔 The ''Historia belli'''s section begins with this account of the crusaders' arrival at Antioch:
On the next day, they came as far as Antioch, at midday, on the fourth day of the week, which is the twelfth kalends of November (October ), and miraculously we besieged the gates of the city.
''Crastina autem die, pervenerunt usque ad Antiochiam, ad medietatem diei, in quarta feria, quod est duodecimo kalendas Novembris, et obsedimus mirabiliter portas civitatis.''〔
Of the contemporary histories of the First Crusade, the ''Historia belli sacri'' provides the most information on the negotiations between the Crusaders and the Fatimid Caliphate.〔 The ''Historia'' is also the only source to go into detail concerning Bohemond of Taranto's exceptionally long journey through the Balkans to Constantinople, which took six months with a comparatively small army, and after which he lodged in the suburb of Sancti Argenti for some time.〔 It also records how at the beginning of the siege of Antioch, the local governor, Yaghi-Siyan, expelled the Christians from the city, and how a certain Hilary, a Muslim convert to Christianity, betrayed the Crusaders by divulging their weaknesses to the relieving army of Radwan of Aleppo, only to be killed when the army was driven off.〔
Several of the ''Historia''′s accounts are more fanciful. It places all the leaders of the Crusade at the Council of Clermont, although they were certainly not all there. It also has them begging Pope Urban II to lead them personally. It says that at the siege of Antioch a miraculous image of Christ that could not be pierced by Turkish arrows appeared in the cathedral. More crdibly, it says that after the siege, the Christian women of the city went to release the imprisoned Patriarch of Antioch, John VII, only to find that he could not stand, his legs having been weakened by so long a confinement.〔
