Many consider Dor�'s vibrant artwork in these volumes to be some of his best, though they remain little known because of their rarity due to the limited numbers printed at the time. Volume one of this priceless two-part saga begins with "Book 1: The Birth of the Crusades" from A.D. 300-1095 and continues to "Book XI: From the Restoration of Isaac to the Death of Baldwin" A.D. 1198-1204.
