Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Acre served as a key transit point for pilgrims and, for a time, as the centre of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, yet it was not a site of the events of sacred history. This study examines the city's growing significance in the visual and textual traditions of the Middle Ages, showing how Acre was integrated into established knowledge, promoted as a pilgrimage destination, and presented as the starting point for a Christian reconquest.
