The Middle Ages - The New Canonical Work

By Franco Cardini

In a magnificent panorama, Franco Cardini, one of the most important European medieval historians, traces the entire diversity of the medieval world. In 25 chapters he describes the development of migration to humanism and describes the lives of farmers and beggars, knights and rulers, merchants and clerics. Cardini takes the reader into cities, churches and universities, to majestic courts and knightly 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 colour of the Middle Ages could not be presented in a more beautiful way.
