The Middle Ages - the new canonical work

By Franco Cardini

In a magnificent overview, Franco Cardini, one of Europe's most important medieval historians, traces the full diversity of the medieval world. In 25 chapters, he describes the development from migration to humanism and depicts the lives of farmers and beggars, knights and rulers, merchants and clergy. Cardini takes the reader to cities, churches, and universities, to majestic knightly courts and castles. He sheds light on art, culture, and architecture, the flourishing of sciences such as alchemy, and the discovery of the foreign in Scandinavia, Asia, and the Mediterranean.

The richly illustrated color of the Middle Ages could not be presented more beautifully.
