A good starting point is Jaroslav Folda, "Crusader Art," in The Glory of
Byzantium, ed. H. Evans and W. Wixom, exh. cat. (New York, 1997), pp.
388-401 (or any of Folda's other publications). I believe there is also
a good section on Crusader icons in Robert S. Nelson and Kristen M.
Collins, Holy Image, Hallowed Ground: Icons from Sinai (Los Angeles,
2006). Kurt Weitzmann, as in so many things, was a pioneer in the study
of Crusader icons.
Cheers,
Jim
