Revue de l'Orient Latin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Revue de L'Orient Latin is a 12-volume set of medieval documents which was published from 1893-1911. It was a continuation of the Archives de L'Orient Latin, two volumes of which were published from 1881 - 1884. Various medieval documents and letters are often cited in other scholarly works about the Crusades, as being part of this collection. The "revue" is often abbreviated ROL and the "Archives" are abbreviated AOL, but often the two groups of documents are referred to together.
The "Archives" were published in Paris. The "Revue" was the official journal of the archaeological foundation Societe de l'Orient Latin founded in 1875 by Count Paul Riant (1836-1888),[1] and was published from the society's headquarters in Geneva.Initial publications were divided into geographical and historical series. The geographical portions contained the itineraries of pilgrims. The historical series included chronicles, letters, and charters.
