More Information
Summary:Jerusalem Afflicted is an English translation of a Latin sermon calling for Philip IV of Spain to lead a Crusade and restore Christian rule in the Holy Land. [...]chapter 7 lays out Leahy and Tully's translation principles. [...]Pedro Manero's Memorial to Philip IV (1654)” touches on themes in Jerusalem Afflicted, such as kingship and the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land, to advise Philip against a Venetian proposal about enlisting two thousand friars in the Cretan War. [...]recently, Crusade studies about Spain and the Franciscans rarely examined their roles in the Holy Land, and concentrated instead on the Reconquista and Mendicant preaching within Europe.
