From Heaven to Earth: The Reordering of Castilian Society, 1150-1350
ISBN: 9780691171500 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Between the late twelfth century and the mid fourteenth, Castile saw a reordering of mental, spiritual, and physical space. Fresh ideas about sin and intercession coincided with new ways of representing the self and emerging perceptions of property as tangible. This radical shift in values or mentalites was most evident among certain social groups, including mercantile elites, affluent farmers, lower nobility, clerics, and literary figures--"middling sorts" whose outlooks and values were fast becoming normative. Drawing on such primary documents as wills, legal codes, land... Between the late twelfth century and the mid fourteenth, Castile saw a reordering of mental, spiritual, and physical space.

Braudel Revisited: The Mediterranean World 1600-1800

Fernand Braudel (1912-1985), was a leading French historian and author of, among other books, the groundbreaking The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II (1949). One of the founders of the Annales School in France, Braudel insisted on treating the Mediterranean region as a whole, irrespective of religious and national divides.

Order and Innovation in the Middle Ages: Essays in Honor of Joseph R. Strayer
ISBN: 9780691644257 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Middle Ages were for many years generally viewed as a period when faith and order supported a rigid society. By painstaking archival research, historians such as Joseph R. Strayer and the contributors to this volume have gradually replaced this view with a regard for the period as a time of great intellectual diversity. These essays, divided into five groups, probe the themes of order and innovation as they appear in medieval government; finance; trade and urban life; social arrangements; and aspects of the personality and goals of the individual. The contributors focus on... The Middle Ages were for many years generally viewed as a period when faith and order supported a rigid society. By painstaking archival research, ... |
