The Early History of Greed: The Sin of Avarice in Early Medieval Thought and Literature
ISBN: 9780521385220 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this full-length study of the early history of greed Richard Newhauser challenges the traditional view that avarice only became a dominant sin with the rise of a money economy. He shows that avaritia, the sin of greed for possessions, was dominant in a wide range of theological and literary texts from the first century CE, and that by the early Middle Ages avarice headed the list of vices for authors aiming to convert others from pagan materialism to Christian spirituality.

A Cultural History of the Senses in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780857853400 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Understanding the senses is indispensable for comprehending the Middle Ages because both a theoretical and a practical involvement with the senses played a central role in the development of ideology and cultural practice in this period.

And sight and hearing were not always the dominant senses: for the medical profession, taste was more decisive. Nor were the senses only passive receptors: they were understood to play an active role in...

Virtue and Ethics in the Twelfth Century
ISBN: 9789004143272 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 399 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume analyses the renewal of Western moral thought in the twelfth century.
