And I'm the first to confess that I'm an American historian, NOT a specialist in medieval (although I do touch on that in my class, "Technology and the Culture of War.")

Hey! I thought I was the first to confess that! LOL

Thanks for the book link though. Couple 'a American historians arguing the Crusades, how pathetic! Except you have a professorship in it and I don't so that's one mark in your favor! :)

But you know better than I how to look up obscure medieval docs on the net :)
