The attribution in 1957 of twenty-one illustrated manuscripts to crusader scriptoria at Jerusalem and Acre opened a new chapter in the study of medieval art. Now Jaroslav Folda adds eleven codices to the eleven originally attributed to Saint-Jean d'Acre. The new material reveals unexpected dimensions of crusader painting in the thirteenth century. Crusader artists working in French Gothic style painted side by side with those working in the Italo-Byzantine manner; in one case both styles appear together in the same codex. Most of the newly studied manuscripts are secular works of history illustrated in the 1280s, suggesting a more varied intellectual life in Outremer than has hitherto been supposed, one that flourished right before the final loss of the mainland crusader kingdom. Furthermore, one remarkable codex on rhetoric provides documentation which helps anchor to Acre the entire group of twenty-two manuscripts along with the Perugia missal.
