They want us to be aware of the shifts and changes that characterize the period. In Men of Learning in Europe at the End of the Middle Ages, Jacques Verger provides us with an important look at the evolution of a social group and an essential chapter in the study of cultural history. -- Toward the end of the Middle Ages, social categories which had been adequate for earlier periods - "those who pray, those who fight, those who work" - no longer allowed for the growing complexity of Western society. One of the key new groups which emerged in Latin Christendom, primarily in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, was that of learned men. Through their intellectual competency and their ability to put their book learning to practical uses, these men came to be important figures. The fledgling modem state found them to be helpful allies and favored their ascension among the traditional élite. Thus, they contributed not only to the advancement of knowledge, helping to make the Renaissance possible, but also to the reshaping of late medieval political culture. -- Combining cultural, social, and political history, Men of Learning in Europe at the End of the Middle Ages measures the influence acquired by certain disciplines - in particular religion, literature, and law - in the organization of European society. Anyone interested in the Middle Ages or intellectual history will want to read this book. ISBN 9780268034511 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 319.…
