Size: 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall; Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Bright

Size: 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall; Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Bright and clean, unmarked wraps with a whisper of wear to extremities; illustration of details from a 14th century French manuscript, "The Travels of Marco Polo" showing the brothers Nicolo and Matteo Polo seting sail for the Black Sea. Pages evenly toned, quite clean, no marks of any kind, no highlighting, no underlining. A three-dimensional picture of the politics, society and religion of Medieval Europe. Dr. Keen examines tribal wars, the Crusades, the growth of trade and the changing patterns of community life as villages grew into towns and towns into cities. During this time, the blurring of the distinction between temporal and spiritual matters eventually undermined the spiritual authority of the Church under the popes. Charlemagne, Crusades, The Hundred Years War, serfdom, feudalism--are other areas of exploration. 349 pages with bibliography and index. 5 x 7.75 inches. 1991, Penguin Books, London, England.
