Summary

Saladin, the Kurdish founder of the Ayyubid Dynasty, conquered Jerusalem in 1187 and repelled the Crusaders. Though England's Richard I later defeated him, Saladin's legend has become enshrined in European as well as Muslim lore.   Sir Hamilton Gibb produced this short biographical account by drawing from two chronicles written by well-placed contemporaries of the legendary leader. Meticulously annotated, Gibb's classic is an essential reference for historians as well as an excellent introduction to a fascinating historical figure.   Sir Hamilton Gibb (1895'1971) was a former professor of Arabic at the University of London, the University of Oxford, and Harvard University. His most famous publications include Arabic Literature and Modern Trends in Islam .
