Some thoughts on his books, and justly eternal memory, here: http://easternchristianbooks.blogspot.com/2016/09/eternal-memory-to-jonathan-riley-smith.html

I read his First Crusade and the Idea of Crusading in Edward Peters’s Crusade History course at UPenn in 1986. On my last trip to Washington, D.C.'s Icon & Book Service (before it closed), I picked up a copy of his first book The Knights of St John in Jerusalem and Cyprus, c 1050-1310. Memory eternal!
