Publisher: Penguin Books; 2003) ISBN: 0142003697. In 1508. Despite ... morestrong advice to the contrary, the powerful Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the newly restored Sistine Chapel. With little experience as a painter(though famed for his sculpture David) Michelangeo was reluctant to begin the massive project. Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling recounts the four extraordinary years Michelangelo spent laboring over the vast ceiling while the power politics and personal rivalries that abounded in Rome swirled around him. Battling against ill health, financial difficulties, domestic problems, the pope's impatience, and a bitter rivalry with the brilliant young painter Raphael, Michelangelo created scenes so beautiful that they are considered to be among the greatest masterpieces of all time. A panorama of illustrious figures converged around the creation of this magnificent work, from the great Dutch scholar Erasmus to the young Martin Luther. Ross King skillfully weaves them through his compelling historical narrative, offering uncommon insight into the intersection of art and history. CONDITION: NEW.

Noted medieval scholar Eileen Power recreates the lives of six ordinary people who lived during the Middle Ages. Drawing upon account books, diaries, letters, records, wills, and other authentic historical documents, she brings to vivid life Bodo, a Frankish peasant in the time of Charlemagne; Marco Polo, the well-known Venetian traveler of the thirteenth century; Madame Eglentyne, Chaucer’s prioress in real life; a Parisian housewife of the fourteenth century; Thomas Betson, a fifteenth century English merchant; and Thomas Paycocke of Coggeshall, an Essex clothier in the days of Henry VII. Largely untouched by fame(with the exception of Marco Polo) The lives and activities of these common people offer a unique glimpse of various aspects of the medieval world: peasant life, monastic life, the wool trade, Venetian trade with the East, domestic life in a middle-class home, and more. Enlivened with charming illustrations and touches of humor, this scholarly yet highly readable work(according to the New York Times) possesses a color, a dramatic touch that humanizes the dry bones of charters and documents” CONDITION: Unblemished except that dustjacket and covers evidence mild edge and corner shelfwear.

Publisher: University of Pennsylvania ... morePress; reprint of 1964. 1998) Although social sciences such as anthropology are often thought to have been organized as academic specialties in the nineteenth century. The ideas upon which these disciplines were founded actually developed centuries earlier. In fact, the foundational concepts can be traced at least as far back as the sixteenth century, when contact with unfamiliar peoples in the New World led Europeans to create ways of describing and understanding social similarities and differences among humans. Early Anthropology in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries examines the history of some of the ideas adopted to help understand the origin of culture. The diversity of traits, the significance of similarities, the sequence of high civilizations, the course of cultural change, and the theory of social evolution. It is a book that not only illuminates the thinking of a by-gone age but also sheds light on the sources of attitudes still prevalent today. CONDITION: New. Never read.

Free Shipping Condition: Brand New Location: Lummi Island, United States Chaucer and the Late Medieval World by Lillian M. Bisson. DESCRIPTION: Softcover: 294 pages. Publisher: St. Martin’s Press; 1998) Divided between the ... moreouter world of affairs and the inner world of poetic insight. Chaucer sought to make sense of his changing, conflicting world. In“Chaucer and the Late Medieval World” Lillian M. Bisson examines the societal issues that the poet explored in his work. Bisson provides lively interpretations of Chaucer's texts, especially“The Canterbury Tales” in the context of the paradigmatic shifts taking place around him, and offers a broad historical overview. Often going back to the Early Christian period, Bisson helps the reader grasp the significance of those shifts. She focuses on three major areas of medieval life; religion, class/commerce, and gender; all of which were experiencing considerable change in the fourteenth century. The book builds a bridge between an unmediated encounter with Chaucer’s texts and the more specialized discussions found in most contemporary criticism. And provides a detailed analysis of Christian culture. Placing each topic in a broad cultural context, Chaucer and the Late Medieval World” helps the reader to better understand the questions that teased Chaucer’s imagination into poetry and to enter into the cultural conversation with which he engaged his audience. CONDITION: New. Never read. PLEASE SEE IMAGES BELOW FOR SAMPLE PAGES FROM INSIDE OF BOOK. PLEASE SEE PUBLISHER. PROFESSIONAL, AND READER REVIEWS BELOW. PUBLISHER REVIEW: REVIEW: Bisson places Chaucer's work in the context of some of the major cultural and social currents of his day. A time when the underpinnings of medieval society were undergoing substantive challenges and revision.

DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: ... more501 pages. Publisher: Weathervane Books; 1977) ISBN: 0517231360. This vigorous. Eloquent epic tale of valor is noted for having been written in the best English prose of the Fifteenth Century. The accompanying illustrations are, of course, a perfect example of the best illustrations of any century. The characters will be familiar: Lancelot and Guinevere, Tristan and Isolde, for this is the definitive account of the Arthurian legends, and Pollard's is the definitive abridgement. His preface says: The story of King Arthur and his knights is one of the greatest that men have ever made. Greater by far than that of Charlemagne, which had come into fashion a little earlier, greater perhaps even than the tale of Troy, already some 2,000 years old, which for some centuries it eclipsed. It is through the fifteenth century prose of Sir Thomas Mallory, in which homeliness and nobility go hand in hand, that it holds its place in our hearts. But the story itself was the outcome of the second half of the twelfth century and the beginning of the thirteenth, the days of England’s Henry II and his three turbulent sons Geoffrey, Richard Coeur de Lion, and John. In the days when the Arthurian romances were coming into existence. Violence, cruelty, and luxury were rampant. But the greatness of these evils called forth some great virtues to counter them. This story bears traces of these and is penetrated to its very core by the special virtues of days in which men were content to live dangerously, carrying their lives in their in their hands and willing to lay them down lightly rather than break the rules of the game or be faithless to work or friend.

DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 207 pages. Publisher: Weidenfeld& Nicolson; 1996) At first sight the Jesus papyrus. A few verses in Greek from St. Matthew's Gospel, could scarcely be less prepossessing. It seems little more than three tiny pieces of old paper clasped between two slides of glass in a forgotten Oxford college showcase. History does not obviously cling to it, let alone faith. Yet this ancient papyrus is one of the most important documents in the world. In one of the most astonishing scholarly claims of recent times, the German papyrologist Carsten Peter Thiede argues that this is the oldest known fragment of the New Testament in book form. His thesis has already generated controversy all over the world. According to Thiede. The Jesus papyrus, which includes no fewer than four of Christ's sayings, is the first material evidence that Saint Matthew's Gospel was written during the lifetime if eyewitnesses, that it records history as experienced by those who were there when it happened. The papyrus itself, written says Thiede forty years after the Crucifixion, or possibly even earlier, was unearthed in Upper Egypt and bequeathed to Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1901. It is conceivable therefore that it might have been read or handled by one of the"Five hundred brothers and sisters" 1 Corinthians 15:6) whom Paul says saw the resurrected Jesus. Not since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 has there been such a potentially important breakthrough in our understanding of Christ's time on earth. Combining immaculate scholarship and detective work. The Jesus Papyrus" is a thrilling account by Carsten Peter Thiede and Matthew d'Ancona of the discovery and what it mea

As it existing in three separate countries with a common spirit and tradition; Ireland, Wales, and Brittany, is brilliantly revealed in these exciting epic chronicles with 120 evocative photographs of artifacts, manuscripts, and landscapes that bring the Celtic world to life as never before. Ireland, land of ancient warriors who value nothing higher than fame and courage as they battle magical forces pitted against them. Ancient warriors whose deeds are as noble and mysterious as the hill forts and standing stones scattered around the landscape. Ancient warriors whose love of exaggeration and boasting compare with the most extravagant blarney. These are the Celts revealed by the early Irish chronicles. Wales. A land of bands and druids hemmed into a beautiful, mountainous country where King Arthur roamed with his knights. The Welsh warriors saw themselves as defenders of the west, heroes who would one day hurl the foreign oppressors back into the sea. These dramatic chronicles date back to the Middle Ages, but they are truly much older than that. They tell of love and betrayal, of quests and challenges, of supernatural creatures and of murder. Battling dragons. Tyrants, and sorcerers, the warriors of Brittany were people of the sea. Hermits, missionaries, mystics, they passed down their tales of mystery and magic orally through the centuries. They are captured here from a time when the old pagan days were dying out, and the secret, supernatural skeins of the early mystical Celts were quickly attaching themselves to a new religion.
