Jerusalem Delivered is an epic poem written by Italian poet Torquato Tasso in the late 16th century. The poem tells the story of the First Crusade, focusing on the Christian army's siege of Jerusalem in 1099. The main characters include the Christian knights Godfrey of Bouillon, Tancred, and Rinaldo, as well as the Muslim leaders Argante and Clorinda. The poem is known for its vivid descriptions of battles, love affairs, and supernatural events, as well as its exploration of themes such as faith, loyalty, and honor. Tasso's writing style is characterized by its use of elaborate similes and metaphors, as well as its attention to detail and emotional intensity. The poem was widely acclaimed in Tasso's time and has since become a classic of Italian literature.God sends his angel to Tortosa down, Godfrey unites the Christian Peers and Knights; And all the Lords and Princes of renown Choose him their Duke, to rule the wares and fights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
