Handbook to Life in Renaissance Europe
ISBN: 9780195330847 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

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.

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 ...

ISBN: 9780226302959 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

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...

ISBN: 9780230006409 / Angielski / Miękka / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Myths of Renaissance Individualism, in short, will interest students not only of history but also of...

In the early 1980s, Duccio Balestracci discovered in a Sienese archive two account books kept from 1450 to 1502 by a Tuscan peasant named Benedetto del Massarizia.

Infected by the urban habit of detailed personal record keeping, he asked various of his literate acquaintances to put into writing the details of his daily affairs. The resulting account books offer an unparalleled glimpse into the economic and social world of late medieval peasants. In Renaissance in the Fields, Balestracci uses these account books and a host of...
