Charles Mills (1788-1826) casts the Christian crusades as brutal and largely un-Christian, a relatively new but quickly mainstream analysis. Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), who he was acquainted with, would go further and describe the Crusades as an act of arrogance by coarse and uneducated Europeans against a culturally and intellectually superior civilisation, a view which is largely held today. Mills was posthumously knighted for this work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThird edition; 2 vols; 8vo (21.5 x 14 cm); engraved frontispiece, folding map of the Holy Land, bookplate to front pastedown of each vol., some spotting; contemporary diced red calf, rebacked, contrasting red morocco lettering-pieces, marbled edges, a little rubbed, very good; xv, [1], 479, [1]; viii, 434pp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"MILLS, Charles.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57288837431671,"sku":"123538","price":479.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/4694\/1233\/files\/123538_e8812452-2f67-45d9-9371-d3296bab0303.jpg?v=1783558416","url":"https:\/\/shapero.com\/en-us\/products\/charles-mills-history-crusades-london-1822-123538","provider":"Shapero Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
