 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.

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 |

 Aristotle's Ethics and Medieval Philosophy Moral Goodness and Practical Wisdom【電子書籍】[ Anthony Celano ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics had a profound influence on generations of later philosophers, not only in the ancient era but also in the medieval period and beyond. In this book, Anthony Celano explores how medieval authors recast Aristotle's Ethics according to their own moral ideals. He argues that the moral standard for the Ethics is a human one, which is based upon the ethical tradition and the best practices of a given society. In the Middle Ages, this human standard was replaced by one that is universally applicable, since its foundation is eternal immutable divine law. Celano resolves the conflicting accounts of happiness in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, demonstrates the importance of the virtue of phronesis (practical wisdom), and shows how the medieval view of moral reasoning alters Aristotle's concept of moral wisdom.＜/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。 | 6,065円 |

 Warriors and Wilderness in Medieval Britain From Arthur and Beowulf to Sir Gawain and Robin Hood【電子書籍】[ Robin Melrose ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Tracing the development of the King Arthur story in the late Middle Ages, this book explores Arthur's depiction as a wilderness figure, the descendant of the northern Romano-British hunter/warrior god. The earliest Arthur was a warrior but in the 11th century Welsh tale ＜em＞Culhwch and Olwen＜/em＞, he is less a warrior and more a leader of a band of rogue heroes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The story of Arthur was popularized by Geoffrey of Monmouth, in his Latin ＜em＞History of the Kings of Britain＜/em＞, and was translated into Middle English in Layamon's ＜em＞Brut＜/em＞ and the later alliterative ＜em＞Alliterative Morte Arthure＜/em＞. Both owed much to the epic poem "Beowulf," which draws on the Anglo-Saxon fascination with the wilderness. The most famous Arthurian tale is ＜em＞Sir Gawain and the Green Knight＜/em＞, in which the wilderness and themes from Beowulf play a leading role. Three Arthurian tales set in Inglewood Forest place Arthur and Gawain in a wilderness setting, and link Arthur to medieval Robin Hood tales.＜/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。 | 1,885円 |
