Synopsis
A Short History of the Middle Ages is unique for its survey of European history both on its own terms and in the context of the Islamic world and the Byzantine, Mongol, and Ottoman empires.
Over 60 plates--many in color--serve as an introduction to the history of medieval art and architecture. In this edition, four new plates enhance the art program of the book. All of the maps, about 40 in total, are now in colour. A new feature entitled Seeing the Middle Ages offers in-depth discussions of chosen illustrations. Students and professors can consult a website containing study questions, maps, and genealogies.
This edition has been carefully reworked to coordinate more fully with Rosenwein's Reading the Middle Ages: Sources for Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic World. It has also been thoroughly revised to take into account recent historical scholarship, particularly in the latter chapters.
Synopsis
