About Bartolf of Nangis
Lived 1100 – 1200. Bartolf of Nangis was a chronicler.
Bartolf of Nangis is the conventional name given to the author of the Gesta Francorum Iherusalem expugnantium, a history of the First Crusade.
The Gesta is known from seven manuscripts. He includes some original details, such as information on Bohemond's crusade to the Byzantine Empire, not attested in any other chronicles.
The first edition of the Gesta was published as an anonymous work by Jacques Bongars in 1611 based on two manuscripts. A few lines of verse found in Bongars' edition, and written before 1108, may have been composed by the same author (Bartolf).
