Description
This comprehensive history spans over 1,000 years, from the barbarian settlement of Roman Europe in the fifth to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Jacques Le Goff's work offers a narrative account of Western European civilization during this period.
The book is divided into two parts: Historical Evolution and Medieval Civilization. The first part provides a detailed narrative of the entire period, while the second part focuses on the origins of early medieval ideas of culture and religion, as well as the lives and sensibilities of people living during this time.
Le Goff's work combines the strengths of Anglo-Saxon scholarship with the sensitivity and insight of French historical tradition, making it a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in the history of medieval Europe.
