Important related works include the Greek perspective offered in the "Alexiad" by Byzantine princess Anna Komnene, daughter of the emperor. The view of the Crusades from the Islamic perspective is found in two major sources. The first, "The Chronicle of Damascus", is by Arab historian Ibn al-Qalanisi. The second is The Complete History ("Kamil fi at-Tarikh") by the Arab (or Kurdish) historian Ali ibn al-Athir. Minor but important works from the Armenian and Syriac are Matthew of Edessa's "Chronicle" and the "Chronicle" of Michael the Syrian. The three Hebrew chronicles include the Solomon bar Simson Chronicle discussing the Rhineland massacres. A complete description of sources of the First Crusade is found in Claude Cahen's "La Syrie du nord à l'époque des croisades et la principauté franque d'Antioche".
