And there certainly were new words and new songs. These settlers produced a hybrid Latin literature—a \"Levantine Latinity\"—distinct from that in Europe, and their new literary tradition both drew on and resisted Levantine Muslim, Christian, and Jewish cultures in the newly occupied territories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaking the East Latin\u003c\/em\u003e analyses the literary and rhetorical techniques of well-known authors such as William of Tyre, the literary compositions of communities of canons in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and individual scholars in the Principality of Antioch. These varied sources reveal the coherent and increasingly sophisticated ways in which Crusader settlers responded to their new environment while maintaining ties with their homelands in Western Europe. In a short time, Levantine Latinity emerged to form an indispensable part of the literary history of both the Near East and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47603016728812,"sku":"9780884024880","price":80.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780884024880-making-the-east-latin.jpg?v=1778053490"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-dumbarton-oaks-medieval-humanities.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
