  Medieval Sourcebook: Makrisi: Arabic Acc't of St. Louis' Crusade
Makrisi, in his description of Egypt, says, that in the year of the Hegira 647 (AD 1249), the emperor sent an ambassador to the sultan Nedjm­Eddin, who was then ill at Damascus: that this ambassador was disguised as a merchant, and informed the sultan of the preparations of the king of France against Egypt.
Makrisi, in the description of this kingdom, says, that this report was renewed under the reign of Bibars­Albondukdari.
It is disgraceful to Makrisi, otherwise a tolerably faithful historian, to suffer himself to be blinded by the common aversion of Muslims to Christians.

Raimbaut said, more lately: "Zoraida left no wholesome legacy in you, Makrisi." This Zoraida was a woman the knight had known in Constantinople--a comely outlander who had killed herself because of Sire Raimbaut's highflown avoidance of all womankind except the mistress of his youth.
Makrisi went on, quietly: "After the Question men will parade her, naked to the middle, through all Orange, until they reach the Marketplace, where will be four horses.
Makrisi, seated, stretched his legs, put fingertips together with the air of an attendant amateur.

The Nile was now at its greatest height.* TouranĀ­Chah caused many boats to be built, which, when taken to pieces, he placed on the backs of camels, and had them thus carried to the canal of Mehale, when they were put together again, launched on the canal, and filled with troops for an ambuscade.

They are the actual words that the muezzins added to their daily calls to prayer in all the towns under the Fatimis, from the year 910 A.D. The first is from Makrisi and refers to the time of Caliph Moezz:

Concerning the portion of the text that is devoted to the Crusades of St. Louis IX, Al Makrisi provides a lengthy and detailed overview of the Seventh Crusade [provided below] and the capture and ransom of St. Louis IX.
Only a small portion of the account actually deals with the Eighth Crusade, which is unsurprising in light of how the events of the Eighth Crusade were cut short by St. Louis IX's death early in the Crusade.

 Atlantis Mythologies
What event but the cataclysmic end of the Pleistocene Ice Age and the consequent demise of Atlantis could better serve for the new start of times marked in that famous zodiac?
Makrisi, a famous Arab historian of Egypt, affirms that "fire issued from the sign of Leo to destroy the world." This conflagration apparently confirms the above connection between the star of Dendera's zodiac and the Atlantean cataclysm disclosed by Plato.
The Arabs conquered Egypt, and inherited its magnificent culture and traditions, and it is quite likely that Makrisi was basing himself on them.

It is from this story of the historian William of Tyre, that Tasso, in his Jerusalem Delivered, has drawn the admirable episode of Olindo and Sophronia; a fine example, and not the only one, of an act of tyranny and an act of virtue inspiring a great poet with the idea of a masterpiece.
