Jerusalem Afflicted : Quaresmius, Spain, and the Idea of a 17th-century Crusade

Omtale

On Good Friday, 1626, Franciscus Quaresmius delivered a sermon in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem calling on King Philip IV of Spain to undertake a crusade to 'liberate' the Holy Land. Jerusalem Afflicted introduces readers to this unique call to arms with the first-ever edition of the work since its publication in 1631.
