Book excerpt: What do you think of when you consider the Middle Ages? Knights in armor and damsels in distress? Vikings plundering monasteries? Religious dissenters burning at the stake? The dead bodies piling up as war, famine, and plague devastated Europe? Think again! While all these are part of the tapestry of the medieval era, the threads of politics, personality and war, culture, religion, education and the arts are vastly more intricate and fascinating. Think Charlemagne, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Joan of Arc, Peter Abelard, Geoffrey Chaucer and a riveting cast of thousands. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Western Europe had to reinvent itself and redefine its philosophical parentage. Inside you will read about... ✓ The Early Middle Ages ✓ Advancing to Empire with Charlemagne ✓ The High Middle Ages ✓ The Flowering of the Church ✓ Times of Change ✓ The Late Middle Ages ✓ The End and the Beginning As the Christian Church filled the void left by the loss of Roman authority, nations would emerge out of blurred geographical boundaries and dynastic kings would evolve from warlords. Rome gets the glory, and the Renaissance gets the glamor, but they are bookends for the dynamic centuries that are known as the Middle Ages.

Download or read book The European Book in the Twelfth Century written by Erik Kwakkel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-31 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'long twelfth century' (1075–1225) was an era of seminal importance in the development of the book in medieval Europe and marked a high point in its construction and decoration. This comprehensive study takes the cultural changes that occurred during the 'twelfth-century Renaissance' as its point of departure to provide an overview of manuscript culture encompassing the whole of Western Europe. Written by senior scholars, chapters are divided into three sections: the technical aspects of making books; the processes and practices of reading and keeping books; and the transmission of texts in the disciplines that saw significant change in the period, including medicine, law, philosophy, liturgy, and theology. Richly illustrated, the volume provides the first in-depth account of book production as a European phenomenon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining essays on questions of newly-emerging English nationalism and the political importance of chivalric values and knightly obligations, as perceived by contemporary historians. Six of the greatest twelfth-century historians - William of Malmesbury, Henry of Huntingdon, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Geoffrey Gaimar, Roger of Howden, and Gerald of Wales - are analysed in this collection of essays, focusing on their attitudesto three inter-related aspects of English history. The first theme is the rise of the new and condescending perception which regarded the Irish, Scots and Welsh as barbarians; set against the background of socio-economic and cultural change in England, it is argued that this imperialist perception created a fundamental divide in the history of the British Isles, one to which Geoffrey of Monmouth responded immediately and brilliantly. The secondtheme treats chivalry not as a mere gloss upon the brutal realities of life, but as an important development in political morality; and it reconsiders some of the old questions associated with chivalric values and knightly obligations -home-grown products or imports from France? The third themeis the emergence of a new sense of Englishness after the traumas of the Norman Conquest, looking at the English invasion of Ireland and the making of English history. John Gillingham is Professor Emeritus, Department of History, London School of Economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval civilization came of age in thunderous events like the Norman Conquest and the First Crusade. Power fell into the hands of men who imposed coercive new lordships in quest of nobility. Rethinking a familiar history, Thomas Bisson explores the circumstances that impelled knights, emperors, nobles, and churchmen to infuse lordship with social purpose. Bisson traces the origins of European government to a crisis of lordship and its resolution. King John of England was only the latest and most conspicuous in a gallery of bad lords who dominated the populace instead of ruling it. Yet, it was not so much the oppressed people as their tormentors who were in crisis. The Crisis of the Twelfth Century suggests what these violent people—and the outcries they provoked—contributed to the making of governments in kingdoms, principalities, and towns.

Download or read book History of Medieval Philosophy, Vol. 1 written by Maurice De Wulf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Medieval Philosophy, Vol. 1: From the Beginnings to the End of the Twelfth Century Throughout, De Wulf has defended the following views. First, he holds that in the Middle Ages there was a Scholastic Philosophy, distinct from Scholastic Theology. No-one questions that to-day, but it was a new idea when De Wulf first put it forward. The second point is that, in the Scholastic Philosophy of the Middle Ages, we can trace a common doctrine, which he calls the Scholastic Patrimony, and of which Thomism was only one form. This idea has met with more criticism than the other, but De Wulf has, in our opinion, successfully vindicated it. Thirdly, in the later editions of his work, De Wulf has brought out the close relations existing between Scholastic Philosophy and the development of civilization and art in medieval times. He has set forth these ideas in greater detail in a separate work, based on lectures he gave at the University of Princeton, and published there under the title Philosophy and Civilisation in the Middle Ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at England's place in the wider European community in the twelfth century, based on close study of the texts, scripts and decoration of manuscripts. This book is concerned with England's engagement with continental Europe, especially France and Normandy, from 1066 until around 1200. It is based primarily on a close scrutiny of the texts, script and decoration of the survivingmanuscripts, a wide range of which are illustrated here. It charts the transformation of the perceived view of England as isolated on the geographical and intellectual periphery of Europe to a position of crucial importance withinthe wider European community. Adapted and expanded from Rodney Thompson's Lyell Lectures delivered at Oxford University in 2001, this richly illustrated book has long been difficult to find. It will be of interest to cultural and art historians, researchers into British and European history, and anyone with an interest in the history of the book.

Download or read book The Garden of Delights written by Fiona J. Griffiths and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-06-03 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Garden of Delights, Fiona J. Griffiths offers the first major study of the Hortus deliciarum, a magnificently illuminated manuscript of theology, biblical history, and canon law written both by and explicitly for women at the end of the twelfth century. In so doing she provides a brilliantly persuasive new reading of female monastic culture. Through careful analysis of the contents, structure, and organization of the Hortus, Griffiths argues for women's profound engagement with the spiritual and intellectual vitality of the period on a level previously thought unimaginable, overturning the assumption that women were largely excluded from the "renaissance" and "reform" of this period. As a work of scholarship that drew from a wide range of sources, both monastic and scholastic, the Hortus provides a witness to the richness of women's reading practices within the cloister, demonstrating that it was possible, even late into the twelfth century, for communities of religious women to pursue an educational program that rivaled that available to men. At the same time, the manuscript's reformist agenda reveals how women engaged the pressing spiritual questions of the day, even going so far as to criticize priests and other churchmen who fell short of their reformist ideals. Through her wide-ranging examination of the texts and images of the Hortus, their sources, composition, and function, Griffiths offers an integrated understanding of the whole manuscript, one which highlights women's Latin learning and orthodox spirituality. The Garden of Delights contributes to some of the most urgent questions concerning medieval religious women, the interplay of gender, spirituality, and intellectual engagement, to discussions concerning women scribes and writers, women readers, female authorship and authority, and the visual culture of female communities. It will be of interest to art historians, scholars of women's and gender studies, historians of medieval religion, education, and theology, and literary scholars studying questions of female authorship and models of women's reading.
