WHO'S WHO IN THE MIDDLE AGES: From the Collapse of the Roman Empire to the Renaissance

Barnes & Noble, 1995. First Thus 3rd Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. CONDITION: LIKE NEW, UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1995 Barnes & Noble hardcover (black boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first thus, 3rd printing. No illustrations. No major problems, just an older book ever so slightly out of square. CONTENT: This is a dictionary of biography that chronicles the lives of the men and women who dominated the time between the collapse of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. Each portrait provides a historical outline of a life and assesses that life in relation to the contemporary background. But the author does more than just present the basic historical facts; he reveals new, fascinating details formerly inaccessible of buried in obscure sources. All of Christendom is covered - rulers, rebels, saints and scholars. Each entry, in reality a short essay, offers not only an understanding of an individual, but insights into the process of change at work during this period.
