This book contains a descriptive gazetteer of all the secular buildings (including industrial sites) known by their surviving remains to have existed within the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. The site descriptions take the form of brief notes with full bibliographical references and location maps, accompanied in most cases by photographs and drawings. The gazetteer is preceded by an introduction which analyses the range of building types to be found in the Crusader Kingdom and is followed by a supplementary gazetteer listing other sites as 'possibles', 'rejects' or 'don't knows'. This gazetteer has been compiled under the auspices of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem and is published as a companion volume to Dr Pringle's three-volume work The Churches of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem.
