The fortress of the raven

"This book traces the history of Karak castle and the surrounding lands during the Middle Islamic period (c.1100-1650 CE). The book combines primary textual sources with archaeological data (principally the ceramic record) as a means to reconstruct the fluctuating economic relations between Karak and other regions of the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean."--BOOK JACKET.
