The Field of Blood The Battle for Aleppo and the Remaking of the Medieval Middle East【電子書籍】[ Nicholas Morton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A history of the 1119 Battle of the Field of Blood, which decisively halted the momentum gained during the First Crusade and decided the fate of the Crusader states</strong></p> <p>During the First Crusade, Frankish armies swept across the Middle East, capturing major cities and setting up the Crusader States in the Levant. A sustained Western conquest of the region appeared utterly inevitable. Why, then, did the crusades ultimately fail?</p> <p>To answer this question, historian Nicholas Morton focuses on a period of bitter conflict between the Franks and their Turkish enemies, when both factions were locked in a struggle for supremacy over the city of Aleppo. For the Franks, Aleppo was key to securing dominance over the entire region. For the Turks, this was nothing less than a battle for survival -- without Aleppo they would have little hope of ever repelling the European invaders. This conflict came to a head at the Battle of the Field of Blood in 1199, and the face of the Middle East was forever changed.</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。 2,427円

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。 3,549円

Warfare and the Making of Early Medieval Italy (568?652)【電子書籍】[ Eduardo Fabbro ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Devastated by two decades of war and ravaged by the spread of the plague, large parts of Italy fell quickly into the hands of a group known to history as the Lombards. By the early 570s the Lombards were firmly established in Italy, which they ruled without ever fully unifying it. The events of the late sixth century shaped early medieval Italy. They also affected how Italian history was written: the Lombards were blamed for plunging the peninsula into the darkness of the Middle Ages, finally ending Roman civilization. But was it really a ‘barbarian invasion’ that created medieval Italy? What was the role of the imperial authorities and the papacy? In <em>Warfare and the Making of Early Medieval Italy</em>, Eduardo Fabbro brings a new take on the changes that shook Italy at the end of the sixth century. Moving past traditional narratives of barbarians and battles, the book re-evaluates the impact of war in creating early medieval Italy. Fabbro brings to the fore a complex picture that includes not only invading barbarians but also rebelling soldiers, disgruntled farmers, vexed commanders, and cunning adventurers trying to make the best of a bad situation. Through a complete reassessment of contemporary and later sources, this book rewrites the history of the first decades of Lombard rule and shows that warfare’s impact went far beyond battles and invasions; it rewired the social and political links that bound the region.</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。 9,434円

Ritual, Text and Law Studies in Medieval Canon Law and Liturgy Presented to Roger E. Reynolds【電子書籍】[ Richard F. Gyug ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Reflecting the range of their honorand's interests, the essays in Ritual, Text and Law provide a stimulating and panoramic exploration of the interrelated fields of liturgy and canon law in the Middle Ages, chiefly through the scrutiny of texts and their transmission. Roger Reynolds' scholarly work has not only considered the relations between law and liturgy, but has also focused on liturgical practice and the evolution of rituals, paleography and the often complicated relationships between canonical collections, in particular the southern Italian Collection in Five Books. Due in large part to Reynolds' research, the fields of medieval canon law and liturgy are now recognized as fundamental elements of medieval religious and intellectual history that shed light on medieval Christian belief and practice. The studies are grouped thematically under the headings of 'Ritual' and 'Text and Law'. Each section has an introduction by the editors, in which they survey recent developments in the study of medieval canon law and liturgy with reference to Reynolds's own research, provide historical context for the individual studies, and draw attention to the ways in which the studies reflect current concerns. Individually, the contributors offer new viewpoints on key issues and questions relating to medieval religious, cultural and intellectual history, particularly of the period c.900-1200, and especially the Italian peninsula. Collectively they illuminate the interaction of medieval Christianity and its rituals, as well as the relationship of the secular and the sacred as transmitted in liturgico-canonical texts from the time of the early church to the 14th 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。 4,884円

Medieval Iberian Crusade Fiction and the Mediterranean World【電子書籍】[ David A. Wacks ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Reading crusader fiction against the backdrop of Mediterranean history, this book explains how Iberian authors reimagined the idea of crusade through the lens of Iberian geopolitics and social history. The crusades transformed Mediterranean history and inaugurated complex engagements between Western Europe, the Balkans, North Africa, and the Middle East in ways that endure to this day. Narratives of crusades powerfully shaped European thinking about the East and continue to influence the representation of interactions between Christian and Muslim states in the region.</p> <p>The crusade, a French idea that gave rise to Iberian, North African, and Levantine campaigns, was very much a Mediterranean phenomenon. French and English authors wrote itineraries in the Holy Land, chronicles of the crusades, and fanciful accounts of Christian knights who championed the Latin Church in the East. This study aims to explore the ways in which Iberian authors imagined their role in the culture of crusade, both as participants and interpreters of narrative traditions of the crusading world from north of the Pyrenees.</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。 9,975円

<p>This title was first published in 2002. When did Africa emerge as a continent in the European mind? This book aims to trace the origins of the idea of Africa and its evolution in Renaissance thought. Particular attention is given to the relationship between the process of acquiring knowledge through travel and exploration, and its representation within a discourse which also includes previously acquired cosmographical elements. Among the themes investigated are: How did the image of Africa evolve from the conception of a symbolic space to a Euclidean representation? How did the Renaissance rediscovery of Antiquity interact with the Portuguese discoveries along the African coast? And once Africa was circumnavigated, how was the inner landmass depicted in the absence of first-hand knowledge? Also, overall, in this whole process what was the interplay of myth and reality?</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。 7,748円

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。 310円

To Live Like a Moor Christian Perceptions of Muslim Identity in Medieval and Early Modern Spain【電子書籍】[ Olivia Remie Constable ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>What do clothing, bathing, or dining habits reveal about one's personal religious beliefs? Nothing, of course, unless such outward bodily concerns are <em>perceived</em> to hold some sort of spiritual significance. Such was the case in the multireligious world of medieval Spain, where the ways in which one dressed, washed, and fed the body were seen as potential indicators of religious affiliation. True faith might be a matter of the soul, but faith <em>identity</em> could also literally be worn on the sleeve or reinforced through performance of the most intimate functions of daily life.</p> <p>The significance of these practices changed over time in the eyes of Christian warriors, priests, and common citizens who came to dominate all corners of the Iberian peninsula by the end of the fifteenth century. Certain "Moorish" fashions occasionally crossed over religious lines, while visits to a local bathhouse and indulgence in a wide range of exotic foods were frequently enjoyed by Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike. Yet at the end of the Middle Ages, attitudes hardened. With the fall of Granada, and the eventual forced baptism of all Spain's remaining Muslims, any perceived retention of traditional "Moorish" lifestyles might take on a sinister overtone of disloyalty and resistance. Distinctive clothing choices, hygienic practices, and culinary tastes could now lead to charges of secret allegiance to Islam. Repressive legislation, inquisitions, and ultimately mass deportations followed.</p> <p><em>To Live Like a Moor</em> traces the many shifts in Christian perceptions of Islam-associated ways of life which took place across the centuries between early <em>Reconquista</em> efforts of the eleventh century and the final expulsions of Spain's converted yet poorly assimilated <em>Morisco</em> population in the seventeenth. Using a wealth of social, legal, literary, and religious documentation in this, her last book, Olivia Remie Constable revealed the complexities and contradictions underlying a historically notorious transition from pluralism to intolerance.</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。 6,085円

The Life and Acts of St. Patrick The Miraculous Life of St. Patrick: A Medieval Hagiography【電子書籍】[ Jocelin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Life and Acts of St. Patrick," Jocelin presents a hagiographic account that intricately weaves together history and legend surrounding one of Christianity's most significant saints. Written in the twelfth century, this narrative blends rhetorical flourish with vivid imagery, showcasing Jocelin's mastery of Latin prose. Its detailed exploration of St. Patrick'??s missionary endeavors in Ireland serves as both a spiritual testament and a socio-political commentary on the interplay between faith and cultural identity during the medieval period, emphasizing the Christianization of Ireland amidst pervasive paganism. Jocelin, a scholar deeply embedded in the scholastic tradition, likely drew inspiration from earlier texts and oral traditions that celebrated St. Patrick's legacy. His position within the Church and the burgeoning monastic culture of the time may have influenced his desire to promote the figure of St. Patrick as a bridge between pagan heritage and Christian devotion, thus affirming the Church's role in shaping national identity. This book is a recommended read for anyone interested in hagiography, medieval history, or the early Christian Church's influence on Irish culture. Jocelin'??s poignant depiction not only enriches our understanding of St. Patrick but also invites readers to reflect on the enduring significance of his legacy in shaping cultural and religious landscapes.</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。 310円
