The Guibert of Nogent story about the first crusade is an important but complex chronicle presented in this first English translation. It is a valuable addition to the repertoire of materials by Boydell and Brewer on the Crusade and is an interesting text, since the author showed himself to be an original writer and, to some extent, an innovator, and tried to create a critical story from sources of eyewitnesses - “Acts of Francs” and “Fulker Chartres” “ History of the expedition to Jerusalem. " From this book you can learn significant details about the attitude of the West towards the First Crusade and, thanks to Ghibert’s own prejudice, about medieval mentalities in general.
