Half-cloth with dust jacket. Zustand: Gut. 464 p.: Ill., Maps. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag an einer Ecke leicht bestoßen, sonst in einem sehr guten Zustand / dust jacket slightly scuffed at one corner, otherwise in very good condition. - What's the difference between a Guelph and a Ghibelline? How many lines of verse are in a ghazal? Whatever happened to the Ostrogoths? Medieval enthusiasts can now thoroughly indulge their curiosity with this fully illustrated A to Z reference book presented by Norman Cantor, one of the world's most distinguished medieval scholars. From the fall of Rome to the beginning of the Renaissance, this comprehensive work presents the full pageant of medieval times across the entire Old World-- with articles on the New World, Africa, and the Far East as well. Twenty major essays anchor the text while more than 600 entries written by a coterie of the world's best medieval historians and writers provide specific information on everything from the Abbadid Dynasty to the Seal of Zug. Interspersed throughout are maps, diagrams, and more than 250 color and black-and-white illustrations detailing all the elements of everyday life: dress, locales, edifices, ceremonies, customs, military tactics, travel, home life, commerce, religion, and royalty. Generous helpings of sidebar material complement the text with chronologies of important lives and events, glossaries of medieval terminology and jargon--excerpts from the great documents of the times and from writings of the great personages, genealogical charts--even recipes for classic medieval dishes and instruction on medieval skills and practices. And at every opportunity, material is compared with modern life through "then and now" images, an ingenious tool that sheds new light on the origins of modern social and political phenomena. Interest in the Middle Ages is stronger than ever as it becomes more and more evident that the modern period has much more in common with the medieval world than previously imagined. No other reference work illuminates this fact better than The Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages. Authoritative, entertaining, and full of the excitement and grandeur of a remarkable period in human history. The Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages is an indispensable home reference work that will--with every page--deliver readers into the heart of the Middle Ages. Norman F. Cantor is among the most respected scholars of medieval history of our age. In addition to a lifetime of scholarly work that has helped define the modern appreciation of the Middle Ages, he is the author of such highly acclaimed works for the general reader as Inventing the Middle Ages (nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award), The Civilization of the Middle Ages (far and away the most widely read popular medieval history), and Medieval Lives (eight lively portraits of charismatic medieval figures). He is the author of works on modern history (The American Century), Jewish history (The Secret Chain), and legal history (Imagining the Law), which have been praised universally for their "sophisticated, yet completely accessible" presentation of the broad sweep of history. The Boston Globe said it best when it called him "a Renaissance man. Everything he writes is brilliant, exasperating, readable, and just plain fun." He is the recipient of many honors and awards (from a Rhodes Fellowship to a Fulbright professorship), and, because of his teaching career at New York University and at major institutions around the world, has to his credit a legion of well-schooled, dedicated scholars who regard him as their teacher and mentor.
