About This Item
1687 CRUSADES Jerusalem Delivered Tasso Godfrey of Bouillon Fairfax ENGLISH
"All he regarded; but in Syria most,
He mark'd the leaders of the Christian host:
That eye, whose penetrating glances dart
To each deep secret of the human heart"
– Torquato Tasso, Jerusalem Delivered, canto I
Originally written in 1575, Torquato Tasso's famous "Jerusalem Delivered" tells a mythical story of the First Crusade complete with Christian Knights battling Muslim warriors. This rare 1687 English edition was translated by Edward Fairfax and titled 'Godfrey of Bulloigne', the rare but recognized title of this work.
