| description | <p>Any consideration of the influence of Levantine military architecture on that of the West must almost
of necessity
be minute and technical; and any such enquiry must
obviously be based on first-hand study of the actual remains
of 12th. century castles in Syria and Europe. A few
of the castles in the East have been adequately described
with plans and illustrations, but beyond these there are
many, often of equal importance, of which details have
never been published; and the sites of some, which figure
in history, remain unidentified in the riot of hills filling up
Syria between Antioch and Nazareth. Reference is
here made to some forty Crusading castles, including, for
the 12th. century, nearly all those in the East. The materials for the 13th. century in Armenia and the Greek islands
are almost entirely unworked; there has, as a matter
of fact, been practically no exhaustive study even of the
castles of that period in Europe. </p>
