Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain【電子書籍】[ Joseph F. O'Callaghan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Drawing from both Christian and Islamic sources, <em>Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain</em> demonstrates that the clash of arms between Christians and Muslims in the Iberian peninsula that began in the early eighth century was transformed into a crusade by the papacy during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Successive popes accorded to Christian warriors willing to participate in the peninsular wars against Islam the same crusading benefits offered to those going to the Holy Land. Joseph F. O'Callaghan clearly demonstrates that any study of the history of the crusades must take a broader view of the Mediterranean to include medieval Spain.</p> <p>Following a chronological overview of crusading in the Iberian peninsula from the late eleventh to the middle of the thirteenth century, O'Callaghan proceeds to the study of warfare, military finance, and the liturgy of reconquest and crusading. He concludes his book with a consideration of the later stages of reconquest and crusade up to and including the fall of Granada in 1492, while noting that the spiritual benefits of crusading bulls were still offered to the Spanish until the Second Vatican Council of 1963.</p> <p>Although the conflict described in this book occurred more than eight hundred years ago, recent events remind the world that the intensity of belief, rhetoric, and action that gave birth to crusade, holy war, and jihad remains a powerful force in the twenty-first century.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Szekler Nation and Medieval Hungary Politics, Law and Identity on the Frontier【電子書籍】[ Nathalie Kalnoky ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In 13th century, the Szeklers were granted a territory (Terra Sirulorum) on the eastern border of the kingdom of Hungary. These lands were donated by the king to the community as a whole, in exchange for the armed border guard service. The use of Szekler customary law, based on a military-judicial -- and most likely multi-ethnic ? clan structure was confirmed by the Hungarian crown.</p> <p>Based on extensive archival sources from the 13th to 16th centuries, this fascinating book examines how customary law maintains complex structures of clan membership as a condition of access to judicial and military dignities, and how the Szeklers developed rules for land ownership and devolution. These documents recall legal principles in which the clan has pre-eminence over individuals, all free and equal before their laws. In this period, one can observe an evolution towards individual property, a factor of inequality, constantly shaped and limited by the Szeklers' determination to safeguard their freedom.</p> <p>This unique text is vital reading for scholars interested in Hungarian history, medieval law, and clan structures.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Chivalry Honor, Love, and Epic Adventures in a Medieval Tale【電子書籍】[ Rafael Sabatini ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Chivalry," Rafael Sabatini explores the romantic ideals and martial exploits of the medieval knighthood, weaving a tapestry of adventure, honor, and courtly love. Set against a backdrop of feudal societies and intricate political landscapes, the narrative employs Sabatini'??s signature blend of vivid prose and intricate character development. The literary style reflects a deep understanding of the chivalric code, embodying ideals such as gallantry and loyalty, while also presenting a more complex critique of the societal structures that dictate such behaviors. Through dynamic action scenes and poignant moments of introspection, the book revitalizes the ethos of chivalry with remarkable flair, making it a compelling read for lovers of historical fiction. Rafael Sabatini, known for his remarkable ability to capture the essence of adventure, was himself inspired by the tales of bravery and romance that littered history. Born in 1875 to an Italian father and an English mother, Sabatini'??s multicultural upbringing enriched his narrative voice. His familiarity with both cultures, blended with his passion for storytelling, undoubtedly influenced his keen observation of the intricacies of honor and duty, paving the way for "Chivalry" as a bold examination and celebration of knightly virtues. This work is highly recommended for readers who appreciate an engaging blend of history, romance, and action. "Chivalry" serves not only as an entertaining escape into a world of noble deeds but also encourages readers to reflect on the timeless values of honor and loyalty. Sabatini'??s storytelling prowess will leave you captivated, urging you to ponder the relevance of chivalric ideals in contemporary society.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Textual and Visual Representations of Power and Justice in Medieval France Manuscripts and Early Printed Books【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Thoroughly interdisciplinary in approach, this volume examines how concepts such as the exercising of power, the distribution of justice, and transgression against the law were treated in both textual and pictorial terms in works produced and circulated in medieval French manuscripts and early printed books. Analysing texts ranging from romances, political allegories, chivalric biographies, and catalogues of famous men and women, through saints’ lives, mystery plays and Books of Hours, to works of Roman, canon and customary law, these studies offer new insights into the diverse ways in which the language and imagery of politics and justice permeated French culture, particularly in the later Middle Ages. Organized around three closely related themes - the prince as a just ruler, the figure of the judge, and the role of the queen in relation to matters of justice - the issues addressed in these studies, such as what constitutes a just war, what treatment should be meted out to prisoners, what personal qualities are needed for the role of lawgiver, and what limits are placed on women’s participation in judicial processes, are ones that are still the subject of debate today. What the contributors show above all is the degree of political engagement on the part of writers and artists responsible for cultural production in this period. With their textual strategies of exemplification, allegorization, and satirical deprecation, and their visual strategies of hierarchical ordering, spatial organization and symbolic allusion, these figures aimed to show that the pen and paintbrush could aspire to being as mighty as the sword wielded by Lady Justice herself.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Medieval Philosophy A Very Short Introduction【電子書籍】[ John Marenbon ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>For many of us, the term 'medieval philosophy' conjures up the figure of Thomas Aquinas, and is closely intertwined with religion. In this Very Short Introduction John Marenbon shows how medieval philosophy had a far broader reach than the thirteenth and fourteenth-century universities of Christian Europe, and is instead one of the most exciting and diversified periods in the history of thought. Introducing the coexisting strands of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish philosophy, Marenbon shows how these traditions all go back to the Platonic schools of late antiquity and explains the complex ways in which they are interlinked. Providing an overview of some of the main thinkers, such as Boethius, Abelard, al-F?r?b?, Avicenna, Maimonides, and Gersonides, and the topics, institutions and literary forms of medieval philosophy, he discusses in detail some of the key issues in medieval thought: universals; mind, body and mortality; foreknowledge and freedom; society and the best life. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

Medieval Meteorology Forecasting the Weather from Aristotle to the Almanac【電子書籍】[ Anne Lawrence-Mathers ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The practice of weather forecasting underwent a crucial transformation in the Middle Ages. Exploring how scientifically-based meteorology spread and flourished from c.700?c.1600, this study reveals the dramatic changes in forecasting and how the new science of 'astro-meteorology' developed. Both narrower and more practical in its approach than earlier forms of meteorology, this new science claimed to deliver weather forecasts for months and even years ahead, on the premise that weather is caused by the atmospheric effects of the planets and stars, and mediated by local and seasonal climatic conditions. Anne Lawrence-Mathers explores how these forecasts were made and explains the growing practice of recording actual weather. These records were used to support forecasting practices, and their popularity grew from the fourteenth century onwards. Essential reading for anyone interested in medieval science, Medieval Meteorology demonstrates that the roots of scientific forecasting are much deeper than is usually recognized.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Oxford Handbook of Medieval Christianity【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Oxford Handbook of Medieval Christianity takes as its subject the beliefs, practices, and institutions of the Christian Church between 400 and 1500AD. It addresses topics ranging from early medieval monasticism to late medieval mysticism, from the material wealth of the Church to the spiritual exercises through which certain believers might attempt to improve their souls. Each chapter tells a story, but seeks also to ask how and why 'Christianity' took particular forms at particular moments in history, paying attention to both the spiritual and otherwordly aspects of religion, and the material and political contexts in which they were often embedded. This Handbook is a landmark academic collection that presents cutting-edge interpretive perspectives on medieval religion for a wide academic audience, drawing together thirty key scholars in the field from the United States, the UK, and Europe. Notably, the Handbook is arranged thematically, and focusses on an analytical, rather than narrative, approach, seeking to demonstrate the variety, change, and complexity of religion throughout this long period, and the numerous different ways in which modern scholarship can approach it. While providing a very wide-ranging view of the subject, it also offers an important agenda for further study in the field.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Mirror of Alchimy Unlocking the Mysteries of Alchemy: A Practical Guide to Transmutation and Symbolism in Medieval Writings【電子書籍】[ Roger Bacon ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Roger Bacon's "The Mirror of Alchimy" serves as a critical exploration of the esoteric and philosophical underpinnings of alchemical practices in the 13th century. Written in a rich, didactic literary style, this text combines allegorical narratives with empirical observations, reflecting Bacon's keen interest in the synthesis of science and spirituality. The work not only elucidates the processes of transmutation and the search for the philosopher's stone but also engages with the broader metaphysical implications of alchemy within the medieval intellectual climate, bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary inquiry. Roger Bacon, a Franciscan friar and an early advocate of the scientific method, drew inspiration from the works of Aristotle and Islamic philosophers, as well as his own extensive experiments. His desire to reconcile faith and reason is evident in this treatise, where he seeks to elevate alchemy from mere superstition to a disciplined art grounded in observation and logic. This pursuit was a reflection of his belief in the transformative power of knowledge, both for the individual and for society. "The Mirror of Alchimy" is essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of scientific thought, the interplay between mysticism and rationality, or the historical context of alchemy. Bacon's insights remain relevant today, challenging readers to reconsider the boundaries of science and spirituality in their own quest for enlightenment.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Transcontinental networks of exchange fractured and an era of economic contraction and demographic decline dawned from which Latin Christendom would not begin to emerge until its voyages of discovery at the end of the fifteenth century. In a major new study of this 'Great Transition', Bruce Campbell assesses the contributions of commercial recession, war, climate change, and eruption of the Black Death to a far-reaching reversal of fortunes from which no part of Eurasia was spared. The book synthesises a wealth of new historical, palaeo-ecological and biological evidence, including estimates of national income, reconstructions of past climates, and genetic analysis of DNA extracted from the teeth of plague victims, to provide a fresh account of the creation, collapse and realignment of Western Europe's late medieval commercial economy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
