In 1009 the Holy Sepulchre was destroyed on the order of the Fatimid Chalif al-Hakim. Only two Latin authors of the 11th century, Ademar of Chabannes and Raoul Glaber, describe this event in detail. This paper concentrates on their sources of information, the accuracy and the credibility of their interpretation in comparison with Greek and Arabic sources and the reasons of ignoring this tragedy in the majority of Latin texts. This case study is regarded in the wide context of the perception of the 'Other' and the circulation of the news in the Middle Ages.
