  The Old-French Chanson d'Antioche has long intrigued historians and literary scholars. Uniquely among epic poems, it follows closely a well documented historical event - the First Crusade - and appears to include substantial and genuine historical content. This work examines the textual history of the poem from its possible oral beginnings.
