William of Tyre's Histoire d'Outre Mer, Initial 'L' with (above) the Crucifixion, and the First Crusade being preached by Pope Urban II; (below) man kneeling in prayer before altar, and people worshiping idols, This manuscript, completed in the later part of the thirteenth century, contains William of Tyre's Estoire d'Eracles (to 1229), Les Faits des Romains (continuation, Tiberius to Julian), and a letter of Prester John. While the origin of the manuscript is debatable between Acre and Paris, Jaroslav Folda suggests a strong connection with Epinal 45, a manuscript known to have been created in Paris during this same time. Versions of William of Tyre's work were particularly popular in France during the latter part of the thirteenth century.
