re established in Tripoli; and in the very year of his death
(1287) he lost Laodicea to the sultan of Egypt. He died without issue;
and as, within two years of his death, Tripoli was captured, the county
of Tripoli may be said to have become extinct with him.

LITERATURE.--The history of the Bohemunds is the history of the
principality of Antioch, and, after Bohemund IV., of the county of
Tripoli also. For Antioch, we possess its _Assises_ (Venice, 1876);
and two articles on its history have appeared in the _Revue de
l'Orient Latin_ (Paris, 1893, fol.), both by E. Rey ("Resume
chronologique de l'histpire des princes d'Antioche," vol. iv., and
"Les dignitaires de la principaute d'Antioche," vol. viii.). R.
Rohricht, _Geschichte des Konigreichs Jerusalem_ (Innsbruck, 1898),
gives practically all that is known about the history of Antioch and
Tripoli. (E. Br.)

helped to found a commune, which persisted, with its mayor and
_jurats_, during the 13th century.

BOHMER, JOHANN FRIEDRICH (1795-1863), German historian, son of Karl
Ludwig Bohmer (d. 1817), was born at Frankfort-on-Main on the 22nd of
April 1795. Educated at the universities of Heidelberg and Gottingen, he
showed an interest in art and visited Italy; but returning to Frankfort
he turned his attention to the study of history, and became secretary
of the _Gesellschaft fur altere deutsche Geschichtskunde_. He was also
archivist and then librarian of the city of Frankfort. Bohmer had a
great dislike of Prussia and the Protestant faith, and a corresponding
affection for Austria and the Roman Catholic Church, to which, however,
he did not belong. His critical sense was, perhaps, somewhat warped; but
his researches are of great value to students. He died unmarried, at
Frankfort, on the 22nd of October 1863. Bohmer's historical work was
chiefly concerned with collecting and tabulating charters and other
imperial documents of the middle ages. First appeared an abstract, the
_Regesta chronologico-diplomatica regum atque imperatorum Romanorum
911-1313_ (Frankfort, 1831), which was followed by the _Regesta
chronologico-diplomatica Karolorum. Die Urkunden samtlicher Karolinger
in kurzen Auszugen_ (Frankfort, 1833), and a series of _Regesta
imperii_. For the period 1314-1347 (Frankfort, 1839) the _Regesta_ was
followed by three, and for the period 1246-131
