Beatrice\'s Last Smile: A New History of the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780199766482 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mark Gregory Pegg's history of the Middle Ages opens and closes with martyrdom, the first that of a young Roman mother in a North African amphitheater in 203 and the second a French girl burned to death beside the Seine in 1431. Both Vibia Perpetua and Jeanne la Pucelle died for their Christian beliefs, yet that for which they willingly sacrificed their lives connects and separates them. Both were divinely inspired, but one believed her deity shared the universe with other gods, and the other knew that her Creator ruled heaven and earth. Between them, across the centuries, lives were shaped...

ISBN: 9780729411752 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the early modern period the public postal systems became central pillars of the emerging public sphere.

Caplan opens his analysis by exploring the economic, political, social and existential...

Atoms, Corpuscles and Minima in the Renaissance
ISBN: 9789004528918 / Angielski / Twarda / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Renaissance witnessed an upsurge in explanations of natural events in terms of invisibly small particles – atoms, corpuscles, minima, monads and particles. The reasons for this development are as varied as are the entities that were proposed. This volume covers the period from the earliest commentaries on Lucretius’ De rerum natura to the sources of Newton’s alchemical texts. Contributors examine key developments in Renaissance physiology, meteorology, metaphysics, theology, chymistry and historiography, all of which came to assign a greater explanatory weight to minute entities....
