(3) | 5 | A concise history of the crusades - whose chief goal was the liberation and preservation of the 'holy places' of the middle east - from the first calls to arms in the later twelfth century to the fall of the last crusader strongholds in Syria and Palestine in 1291.

Il 27 novembre 1095, uscendo dal concilio che aveva appena convocato a Clermont nell'Auvergne, alla presenza di un folto pubblico di laici ed ecclesiastici, il papa Urbano II lanciò al suo uditorio un appello che avrebbe avuto enorme risonanza. (1. vol.)  Per salvare quanto poteva essere salvato dei territori conquistati dai crociati e ricuperare, assieme ai Luoghi Santi, l'intera Terrasanta così come questi l'avevano ricostituita in quanto formazione politica, le spedizioni si susseguirono a ritmo serrato.

Non sono stati forse i crociati stessi a fare di esse ciò che sono state: imprese di strabiliante ampiezza, fonti di sacrifici, di prove, ma anche di un arricchimento spirituale difficilmente calcolabile, e che rimangono uno degli episodi più rilevanti della storia europea?
