dc.description.abstract | Muchos cronistas medievales describieron la conquista cristiana de Jerusalén durante la Primera Cruzada en 1099 y sus palabras han sido repetidas desde entonces sin mayor cuestionamiento. Tan horrible como pudo haber sido la masacre en la mezquita y en el resto de la ciudad, nunca pudo haber sido tan grande como para fundamentar los reportes de calles ensangrentadas que con tanta frecuencia se indican hoy en día. Estas eran descripciones fantásticas, claramente imposibles. Las descripciones modernas de los cruzados moviéndose por calles de sangre han convertido una masacre histórica en algo ridículo. La sangre que se derramó en la masacre de Jerusalén fue real, pero no así los ríos sangrientos que han llegado a las páginas de los periódicos modernos y a los libros populares. | es_ES |
dc.description.abstract | Many medieval chroniclers described the Christian conquest of Jerusalem during the First Crusade in 1099 and their words have been repeated ever since without much scrutiny. As horrible as the carnage was in the mosque and in the rest of the city, it could never be enough to sustain the reports of streets of blood that are heard so often today. These are fantastical descriptions, clearly impossible. Modern descriptions of crusaders wading through streets of blood turn a historical massacre into little more than a cartoon. The blood that was spilled in the massacre of Jerusalem was real; the rivers of it that course down the pages of modern newspapers and popular books are not. | |
