Dei gesta per Francos is a narrative of the First Crusade by Guibert of Nogent written between 1107 and 1108. Traditionally it has not been well received by scholars, but recent translators and editors have shown it to contain important original material.
Dei gesta was a radical departure for the type of literary work for Guibert who had previously worked on theological tracts. He decided to undertake a history of the crusade, he says, after he read an anonymous eyewitness account called Gesta Francorum. In the eyes of Guibert this work was rough and simple and "frequently left the reader stunned with its insipid vacuity". Guibert felt a much higher standard of grammar and diction was needed. He also inserted anti-Jewish rhetoric into the account of the First Crusade.
