Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial History of the Middle Ages In passing over this middle period in the world's history, one cannot but be struck with the great influence exerted on all temporal affairs, all great movements of the nations, by the Church. The pope humbles emperors; sends millions of crusaders against the infidels; crowns and uncrowns kings; spreads dismay over whole nations by his interdict: blesses the Northman setting out for new conquests; and gives India to King John of Portugal, with one hand, while with the other he bestows the New World upon Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic. Surely, the Middle Ages have their own peculiar political features. Such prodigies as these, the world witnessed at no other period. In literature and art, too, the Middle Ages have a character all their own. Then commenced the ballad literature, the old heroic songs which each modern nation of Europe has now learned to prize as the foundation of all its best poetry. Then were written those invaluable chronicles which have been the principal means of preserving, for modern historians, the living picture of the times, the very form and pressure of society as it existed in the days of chivalry and romance. Then were sown the seeds of all that is valuable in modern literature. Christianity had already breathed the breath of life into awakening intellect. The shroud of spiritual darkness, which had bound the ancient world, was already cast away. Life and immortality were brought to light; and every subsequent effort of creative intellect was destined to recognise the infinite future, which is the Christian's hope and joy. The history of such a period must necessarily be full of interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Decorative Ironwork of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance written by Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artists, illustrators, architectural and art historians, restorers, dealers, collectors--anyone interested in historical ironwork--will welcome this magnificent treasury of decorative designs produced between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries. Over 400 illustrations on 86 plates, reprinted from a rare nineteenth-century French volume of copperplate engravings, reveal a remarkable variety of decorative and utilitarian objects. Focusing primarily on German Gothic ironwork designs that embellished palaces, cathedrals, castles, houses, and other structures, the plates depict hinges ornamented with mythical sea creatures and dragons, door knockers decorated with female figures and human heads, keyhole plates wreathed in foliage, chests reinforced with iron bands displaying elaborate artwork, intricately laced metalwork on screens and grilles, elaborately designed keys, finials, candle stands, and a host of other architectural and ornamental elements. Notes to the plates identify the objects and provide, when available, a source and date for each. A splendid record of the inspired decorative flourishes of the past, these beautifully detailed plates will also serve as a lavish source of inspiration for today's designers. Dover (1996) republication of the plates from "Serrurerie, ou les Ouvrages en Fer Forgedu Moyen-Age et de la Renaissance, " published by Librairie Tross, Paris, 1870.

Download or read book Toward a Global Middle Ages written by Bryan C. Keene and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important and overdue book examines illuminated manuscripts and other book arts of the Global Middle Ages. Illuminated manuscripts and illustrated or decorated books—like today’s museums—preserve a rich array of information about how premodern peoples conceived of and perceived the world, its many cultures, and everyone’s place in it. Often a Eurocentric field of study, manuscripts are prisms through which we can glimpse the interconnected global history of humanity. Toward a Global Middle Ages is the first publication to examine decorated books produced across the globe during the period traditionally known as medieval. Through essays and case studies, the volume’s multidisciplinary contributors expand the historiography, chronology, and geography of manuscript studies to embrace a diversity of objects, individuals, narratives, and materials from Africa, Asia, Australasia, and the Americas—an approach that both engages with and contributes to the emerging field of scholarly inquiry known as the Global Middle Ages. Featuring more than 160 color illustrations, this wide-ranging and provocative collection is intended for all who are interested in engaging in a dialogue about how books and other textual objects contributed to world-making strategies from about 400 to 1600.

Book excerpt: A laugh-out-loud visual history of the strangest piece of men’s clothing ever created: the codpiece. The codpiece was fashioned in the Middle Ages to close a revealing gap between two separate pieces of men’s tights. By the sixteenth century, it had become an upscale must-have accessory. This lighthearted, illustrated examination of its history pulls in writers from Rabelais to Shakespeare and figures from Henry VIII to Alice Cooper. Glover’s witty and entertaining prose reveals how male vanity turned a piece of cloth into a bulging and absurd representation of masculinity itself. The codpiece, painted again and again by masters such as Titian, Holbein, Giorgione, and Bruegel, became a symbol of royalty, debauchery, virility, and religious seriousness—all in one. Centuries of male self-importance and delusion are on display in this highly enjoyably new title. Glover’s book moves from paintings to contemporary culture and back again as it charts the growing popularity of the codpiece and its eventual decline. The first history of its kind, this book is a must-read for art historians, anthropologists, fashion aficionados, and readers looking for a good, long laugh.
