Description

This substantial volume is filled with over 140 maps and commentaries detailing the whole of the medieval period from the latter days of Rome through to the beginnings of the early modern world. Each map is designed to address particular themes and answers the needs of students of this period with supporting explanatory texts. The selection of maps takes a thorough and broad-ranging approach to the study of the Middle Ages. The maps chart a variety of areas including political events, military campaigns within Europe and in the Holy Lands, the power of the Church and the rise of monasticism, literacy and the advent of printing, art and architecture. Others cover the financing of state and war, the principal trading leagues and trade routes, settlements and the increase in urbanism, the founding of the earliest universities, pogroms and persecutions and events at the frontiers of Christendom.
