Kulturmøder Ved Kap Farvel
ISBN: 9788763539340 / Duński / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Den altdominerende faktor i Kap Farvel omradets historie i 1800-tallet var indvandringen af folk fra Sydostgronland. Der findes intet skrift ligt kildemateriale fra de ostgronlandske indvandrere selv, da de hverken kunne laese eller skrive, hvorfor beskrivelsen af indvandringen primaert ma basere sig pa materialet fra de danske kolonimyndigheder og den tyske Brodremission. Selv om kilderne er skrevet af europaeere og afspejler en europaeisk forstaelse af omverden og et europaeisk verdensbillede, sa indeholder de ogsa en raekke oplysninger, der tilsammen danner et tydeligt billede af samtidens...

Handbook to Life in Renaissance Europe
ISBN: 9780195330847 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The word renaissance means "rebirth," and the most obvious example of this phenomenon was the regeneration of Europe's classical Roman roots. The Renaissance began in northern Italy in the late 14th century and culminated in England in the early 17th century. Emphasis on the dignity of man (though not of woman) and on human potential distinguished the Renaissance from the previous Middle Ages. In poetry and literature, individual thought and action were prevalent, while depictions of the human form became a touchstone of Renaissance art. In science and medicine the macrocosm and microcosm of...

Renaissance Characters
ISBN: 9780226283562 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Compared to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance is brief-little more than two centuries, extending roughly from the mid-fourteenth century to the end of the sixteenth century-and largely confined to a few Italian city states. Nevertheless, the epoch marked a great cultural shift in sensibilities, the dawn of a new age in which classical Greek and Roman values were "reborn" and human values in all fields, from the arts to civic life, were reaffirmed.
With this volume, Eugenio Garin, a leading Renaissance scholar, has gathered the work of an international team of scholars into an accessible... Compared to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance is brief-little more than two centuries, extending roughly from the mid-fourteenth century to the end of ...

Violence and Miracle in the Fourteenth Century: Private Grief and Public Salvation
ISBN: 9780226302959 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As war, pestilence, and famine spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, so did reports of miracles, of hopeless victims wondrously saved from disaster. These "rescue miracles," recorded by over one hundred fourteenth-century cults, are the basis of Michael Goodich's account of the miraculous in everyday medieval life.
Rescue miracles offer a wide range of voices rarely heard in medieval history, from women and children to peasants and urban artisans. They tell of salvation not just from the ravages of nature and war, but from the vagaries of a violent society-crime, unfair judicial...

"When the city was filled with these bonfires, he then combed the city, and whenever he received notice of some public sodomite, he had him immediately seized and thrown into the nearest bonfire at hand and had him burned immediately."
