History 4963 S/T: The Crusades, 1095-1481



Source Analysis Piece 4

In this Source Analysis Piece you will be examining sources for purposes of reconstructing attitudes of the transitional crusading era of the 15th century.  Using the sources on pp. 397-407 of Allen & Amt, our last primary source selection of the semester, discuss the following two themes: 1) attitudes towards the crusading enterprise in comparison with earlier eras that we have discussed and 2) attitudes towards the Turks in comparison with attitudes expressed towards Muslims of earlier eras that we covered this semester.  Your paper should  be 1-2 typed, doubled-spaced pages in length, written in Times Roman, 12-pt. font and must be properly footnoted (see me before starting an assignment if any of these standards are unclear).  Once completed submit you paper to the Paper Submission Portal of the course's Blackboard module.  To receive credit, the paper must be in by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, December 6th.  Good luck!
