the creation of an analytic catalogue of the printed consilia, and finallya systematic
review of the manuscript collections. Giovanni Minnucci edits a notarial minute
recording the award of a doctorate in canon law on April 29, 1389, to a certainBartolo da Perugia. This minute is the oldest document of its kind, and Minnucci
proceeds to identify the persons mentioned therein, most notably the famous canon
ist Petrus de Ancharano.
In a Vatican manuscript Patrick Lally discovers independent corroboration of the
birth date (October 2, 1327) and death date (April 28, 1400) of Baldus de Ubaldis,
both attributions that hitherto had been based on second- or third-hand reports. Lally
not only suggests that this manuscript notice might have been a hitherto unidentified
source for thesereports,
but also locates themanuscript
itselfamong
"theworking
papers of Baldus and his immediate descendants" (p. 212), including the jurist's son
Zenobius. Phillip Stump rounds out this collection of essays with a research guide to
aid in the use of Jean-Dominique Mansi's edition (1759) of the acta of the Council of
Constance. The reader learns the relation of Mansi's Sacrorum conciliorum . . .
collectio to other prior printed conciliar collections and to manuscript sources.
Despite the well-known general deficiencies of other portions of Mansi's collection,
Stump acknowledges the value of his rendering of Constance acta "as a quite com
plete and easily accessible edition ... for the general scholar" (p. 239).

This work completes a major, and beautifully presented, monument in crusading
historiography planned over forty years ago by John LaMonte and others. Itwill in a
sense rank with the great Recueil of crusading chronicles and materials completed in
1906 and with the one-man narratives of Sir Stephen Runciman and of Hans
Eberhard Mayer. Although its initial dedication describes this work as volumen ulti
mum historiae expeditionum ad Terram Sanctum liberandam missarum, its scope
is really much greater. The six volumes of this History have broadened the subject's
scope?chronologically, to include the "later" crusades of the fourteenth and fif
teenth centuries; geographically,to cover many Asian, African, and European topics,
especially Muslim ones; politically, to describe "political" crusades and background
affairs within Latin Europe; and culturally, by devoting a whole volume to art and
architecture. Collective works inevitably result in certain unevennesses of quality and
attract criticism for their obvious, but often unavoidable, omissions; there is, for
example, no chapter devoted to Genoa, to the military orders as such, to papal policy
or to crusading warfare as opposed to fortifications. This great enterprise has taken
