This volume concerns premodern understandings of vegetal nature that encompass multiple semantics and perspectives. Scholars from the disparate fields of art history, literature, and religious studies present tantalizing studies of trees and plants in sacred and secular thought. Some discuss the concept of the Book of Nature and its implications. Others explore narratives of symbiosis between humans and vegetal material, tree-dwelling hermits, spirits metamorphosing into wood, flowers or trees that sprout from bodies or the dissolution of the self into the natural world. Complementary to these approaches are studies that suggest a collapsing of time and space in spiritually charged yet ambiguous natural motifs or topographies where forests or groves are spaces of transformative experience.

Designed to introduce students to the everyday lives of the Jews who lived in the German Empire, northern France, and England from the 11th to the mid-14th centuries, the volume consists of translations of primary sources written by or about medieval Jews. Each source is accompanied by an introduction that provides historical context. Through the sources, students can become familiar with the spaces that Jews frequented, their daily practices and rituals, and their thinking. The subject matter ranges from culinary preferences and even details of sexual lives, to garments, objects, and communal buildings. The documents testify to how Jews enacted their Sabbath and holidays, celebrated their weddings, births and other lifecycle events, and mourned their dead. Some of the sources focus on the relationships they had with their Christian neighbors, the local authorities, and the Church, while others shed light on their economic activities and professions.

To students of history, this book will assuredly become ( to use a hackneyed , but in this case correct word ) indispensable .

Under the first head are included Laws of the Conqueror, Bull of Adrian IV . empowering Henry II . to conquer Ireland, Constitutions of Clarendon, Assize of Clarendon, Exchequer Dialogue, Laws of Richard, Magna Carta, Statutes of Mortmain and Quia Emptores, Manner of holding Parliament ( fourteenth century ), and Statute of Labourers.

Towton, the bloodbath that changed the course of our history . . . an invaluable book. - A.A. Gill, The Sunday Times Magazine.Boardman has unrivalled knowledge of the ground and the record, such as it is, of the battle fought there. - Times Higher Education Supplement.an admirably comprehensive account - Yorkshire Post.a marvel of evocation. - Robert Hardy.Palm Sunday 1461 was the date of a ruthless and bitterly contested battle fought by two massive armies on an exposed Yorkshire plateau for the prize of the Crown of England. This singular engagement of the Wars of the Roses has acquired the auspicious title of the longest, biggest and bloodiest battle ever fought on British soil. The slaughter left an indelible mark on the population that has been largely forgotten until relatively recent times: Shakespeare likened the struggle to the wind and tide of a mighty sea that set father against son and son against father. But what drove the contending armies of York and Lancaster to fight at Towton? And what is the truth behind the legends about this terrible battle where contemporaries record rivers ran red with blood?A.W. Boardman answers these questions and many more in this new and fully updated fourth edition of his classic account of Towton. Illustrated throughout with contemporary artwork, modern photographs and specially drawn maps, Towton 1461: The Anatomy of a Battle is a fascinating insight into the reality of the battlefield and the men who fought there in a blinding snowstorm over half a millennium ago.

Como o mundo foi descoberto? Ou seja, como um certo grupo de homens que viviam ao redor do Mar Mediterraneo e que haviam adquirido a arte de registrar o que cada geraço havia aprendido se tornou sucessivamente consciente das outras partes do globo? Todas as partes da terra, ate onde sabemos, foram habitadas pelo homem durante os cinco ou seis mil anos em que os europeus armazenavam seus conhecimentos, e durante todo esse tempo os habitantes de cada parte, e claro, estavam familiarizados com essa parte em particular: os Kamtschatkans conheciam Kamtschatka; os Groenlandeses, a Groenlandia; as varias tribos dos indios norte-americanos conheciam, de qualquer forma, a parte da America pela qual vagavam muito antes de Colombo a descobrir. Cortes atravessou mais de 6000 quilometros pela America Central, guiado apenas por um mapa de chita de um cacique local. Um nativo do Taiti, chamado Tupaia, desenhou para Cook um mapa do Pacifico, estendendo-se por quarenta e cinco graus de longitude, fornecendo o tamanho e a posiço relativos das principais ilhas ao longo daquele imenso oceano. Quase todas as descobertas geograficas dos europeus foram, da mesma maneira, realizadas por meio de guias, que necessariamente conheciam o pais que seus mestres europeus desejavam descobrir .

"O Thesouro do Rei Fernando: História Anecdótica de um Tratado Inédito" apresenta uma narrativa rica e intrigante que explora a história e as características do tratado inédito relacionado ao Rei Fernando I de Portugal. Com um estilo literario que mescla a erudiço com a acessibilidade, Luciano Cordeiro oferece ao leitor uma perspectiva detalhada e ao mesmo tempo envolvente sobre um periodo crucial da historia portuguesa.

Luciano Cordeiro, um polimata portugues, era conhecido por sua habilidade em integrar diferentes areas do conhecimento, como historia, literatura e antiquarismo. Seus antecedentes academicos e sua paixo pela historia portuguesa o levaram a investigar fontes raras, resultando em uma obra que no so preserva a memoria historica, mas tambem se traduz em uma critica ao modo como a historia e contada e recebida. Seu trabalho no campo da documentaço historica faz de Cordeiro uma figura proeminente na literatura do seculo XIX. Recomendo enfaticamente "O Thesouro do Rei Fernando" a todos os interessados em historia portuguesa e literatura anecdotica. A obra de Cordeiro no apenas ilumina aspectos obscuros do passado, mas tambem instiga uma reflexo profunda sobre a importancia da memoria historica e da identidade nacional. Pool, academicos e amantes da literatura encontraro significativa informaço e encantamento na narrativa envolvente apresentada por Cordeiro.

The country, as far as the Frith of Forth, had been brought under Roman civilization. But in England, as elsewhere, the continuance of that form of civilization had produced weakness; and the unconquered Britons of the North, known by the name of Picts, broke into the Romanized districts, and pushed their incursions far into the centre of the country. On all sides, the nations outside the Empire were breaking through its limits and threatening its existence. The danger which threatened the very heart of the Empire, from the advance of the Goths into Italy, compelled the Romans in 411 to withdraw their legions from Britain, and leave the inhabitants of the island to fight their own battles with the Picts..."

Duke Louis of Bourbon was a descendant of the French King Louis IX (Saint Louis, d. 1270) and of the first Duke of Bourbon (a position created in 1327). As a royal cousin of Kings Charles VI and Charles VII, and the ruler of a key French duchy, Louis was a major player in the Hundred Years War; a general, diplomat, and mediator, successful warlord, first in his campaigns against the English, then later in the campaigns launched by the French into the Baltic region, Muslim North Africa, and the Iberian peninsula. A man of war, he was also considered a pious Christian, who moderated the worst excesses of the French royal dukes in the latter years of the 14th century, making him a rare figure: A leader in every aspect of a blood war, from battlefield to high level politics, who came out of it as a hero. At least, that is how his friends saw it. What they thought of him is preserved in The Chronicle of the Good Duke Louis II, which not only gives us a dramatic account of Louis as prince and warlord, but also shows his friends observing him in action. The resulting Chronicle is as much a portrait of Louis circle of friends as it is of Louis himself. The book, very like a collection of legends, gives modern readers a striking picture of the Hundred Years War, provides a vivid picture of the war camps, courts, and battlefields of the late fourteenth century. Historian Steven Muhlberger renders his translation, the first of the Chronicle into any modern language, in crisp modern language that conveys the excitement of vivacity readers would have experienced six centuries ago.
