Summary
The Annales de Terre Sainte was first composed in Old French, the Annales de Terre Sancte refers to a series of brief chronological entries that recount the history of the crusades and the Latin East from 1095 to 1291. The Annales tradition proved popular enough that it was copied into a number of compilation manuscripts, such as the Gestes des Chiprois, and was eventually translated into both Latin and Spanish.
