Looks like it's the full story!   

That book has a number of different Crusader stories in it:

"This volume contains the complete Oriental stories by the creator of Conan the Barbarian and Solomon Kane. Some were published in Farnsworth Wright's Oriental Stories between 1930 and 1934; others were left unpublished and are printed here in authoritative texts based on the author's surviving typescripts; and still others, left unfinished at his death, are presented as suggestive evidence of the work he had yet to do."

I have it on my wishlist for Christmas. I just started reading the Conan books again. Haven't read them since I was in  my teens and still in Crusader training.

I received the 1982 version of Ivanhoe on DVD yesterday, and thought I'd share a pair of images from the movie:

The messenger who brings Grand Master Lucas de Beaumanoir the message from Issac of York



Funny thing, but he looks like a........
Sir Brian  (Sam Neill)wears the cloak of the Temple in the end of the movie, but throughout wears a raven carrying a skull on a red background, even under the cloak.
