It presents a new approach to the study of mediaeval life: first, it       concentrates on a fifty-year period, 1150?1200, not making the usual broad       generalizations about the Middle Ages as though they were a single,       homogeneous era; second, it presents mediaeval life through the experience of       a mediaeval man. The reader goes on a journey with Alexander Neckam, rides the       mounts he rode, lodges at hospices such as might have received him, walks the       streets of London and Paris as Alexander found them, and visits the schools       and baronial estates that he might have visited.              Mr. Holmes draws steadily upon his wide, varied, and accurate knowledge of       mediaeval literature ? Latin, French, and English ? to say nothing of       iconography, painting, and architecture. The reader has a sense of being       guided by two men familiar with the ground - one a mediaeval man, the other a       modern expert.              "This useful reference work is a model of compact scholarship. Its modest       format encloses a wealth of information ... Holmes shows an easy familiarity       with the vast major and minor source materials centering upon 1150?1200."       Speculum              The front and back covers:       https://susepaste.org/43864277              Ciao!        /|ug (https://t.me/aabolins)              --- Want fido for iOS/MacOS/Android/Win/Linux?
