The Gesta Normannorum Ducum of William of Jumièges, Orderic Vitalis, and Robert of Torigni: Volume II: Books V-VIII
ISBN: 9780198205203 / Angielski / Twarda / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The later accretions reveal much not only about changing attitudes towards the Norman invasion of...

ISBN: 9780198205296 / Angielski / Twarda / 442 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780198205401 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For most observers, the decades between the great crusading expeditions of the twelfth century saw little contact of note between the Holy Land and Western Europe. In fact, as the neighbouring Muslim powers exerted increasing pressure on the crusaders, the Christians mounted a sustained diplomatic effort to secure outside help. This original investigation reveals for the first time the range and scale of the struggle to preserve Christian control of the Holy Land.

The Carmelites and Antiquity: Mendicants and Their Pasts in the Middle Ages

The Carmelites, the only contemplative religious order to have been founded in the Crusader States, first emerged as a group of hermits living on Mount Carmel, a site associated with the prophet Elijah. Soon after migrating to the West, in the mid-thirteenth century, they began to develop the geographical associations into a complex historical tradition based on the claim to have been founded by the prophet.

The Proprietary Church in the Medieval West
ISBN: 9780198206972 / Angielski / Twarda / 1020 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines in what ways and how far medieval churches were treated as items of property. It ranges over most of Western Europe, from beginnings in the late Roman Empire and post-Roman kingdoms, into the Carolingian empire and its neighbours and successor states; and through the Gregorian reform, up to the late twelfth century when property in churches was patchily superseded by the canon-law right of patronage. The approach is as much social and religious as legal and administrative, and explores ideas and assumptions as well as practical exploitation and property dealings.
