The Cambridge History of The Middle Ages II 950 - 1250 by Robert Fossier [Editor] - 1997

Cambridge University Press, Great Britain, 1997. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Volume II begins at the turn of the millennium and covers the extraordinary rebirth of Europe, in terms of demographic expansion, agrarian settlement and organisation, the establishment of towns and villages, the ascendancy of the feudal system, the appearance of formal states and kingdoms, and the dramatic controlling ascendancy of the western Church. In the east, despite the external appearance of grandeur, the Islamic countries were being torn apart by mutual rivalry, while the Byzantime empire lost massive border territories through political and economic incompetence. Full coverage is given to both east and west, and their artistic heritage is displayed lavishly in many of the colour plates. 544 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 kilos.
