New York: St. Martin's Press, 1999 xi, 227 pp. Notes, bibliography, index. This study argues that the Europe which is now being united was originally the product of the French revolution of 1789-95, and then formed by the emergent industrial capitalism. Given the prediction--and fear--that the new working class would launch another revolution which would spread, the author investigates why that did not in fact prove to be the case. Rather, the new working classes were incorporated as part of the dynamics of capitalist development. CONTENTS: The Problem and the Origins; The Burgeoning of the Bourgeoisie; Europe's Menacing Others; Mid-Century Revolutionary Complexities; Transitions Beyond Revolution; The Great Global Shift; Social Capital and the Working Class; Working Class Consciousness and Politics.

's-Gravenhage: Martinus Nijhoff, 1963. viii, 349 pp. Footnotes, appendices, bibliography, indexes. Text in Dutch. The first part of this study on Jean Gerson (1363-1429), the famous chancellor of the Paris University, contains a chronological survey of Gerson's position in the development of the church politics of his days. It is shown how he became an adherent of a conciliar solution of the Western schism without betraying the idea of the Church as a hierarchical entity. In the second part his ecclesiological ideas are treated systematically. Gerson's critical attitude towards canon lawyers and papal absolutism is examined, followed by an analysis of the backgournd of his ideas about the Church as hierarchy and as mystical body, his conciliar thought, his concept of tradition, and his sources. The author tries to make clear that Gerson, far from being a radical, rather should be considered as a careful and conservative theologian. The author was awarded the Mallinckrodt prize by the University of Groningen for this study. Moderate overall soiling and light wear to covers. Sewn binding with some creasing along spine.

Zagreb: Seljacka Sloga, 1936 Scarce. A complete set of 19 volumes (pub. 1936-1939) of the collected works of Antun Radic (1868-1919). Over 5,700 pp. Maps, illustrations, bibliographical references, full indexes. Text in Croatian. Antun and his younger brother Stjepan founded and led the early Croatian Peasant Party (Hrvatska seljacka stranka).

His writings are therefore vitally important for understanding the modern history of Croat nationalism.

Woodbridge, Suffolk: York Medieval Press and Boydell & Brewer, 2000. xi, 226 pp. Illustrations, footnotes. What is a court? Is it synonymous with a capital? Are both dependent on the presence (or absence) of a ruler and the machinery of government and administration? Such issues are problematic, and the attempt to define the relationship between court and region is a central theme in the essays collected here. They employ a variety of disciplines--archaeology, art history, literature and history--to examine the phenomenon of the court and its relationship with the immediate hinterland or more distant areas, in places as far apart as the Carolingian Empire and Lancastrian Normandy, London, York and Prague, and the timeframe extends from the beginning of the eighth century to the later years of the fifteenth. CONTENTS: The palace of memory: the Carolingian court as political centre. Wish you were here: Alcuin's courtly poetry and the boys back home. Defining settlements: York and its hinterland, AD 700-1000. Competing capitals?: York and London in the fourtheenth century. The politics of presentation: the architecture of Charles IV of Bohemia. The court andthe regions in later medieval Catalonia. Isolated or integrated?: the English soldier in Lancastrian Normandy. The pastors and London. Moderate bumps to lower outside corners of boards.

This book provides a concise, readable history of the rise of Rome's imperial spirit after the collapse of the Republic.

Included with the details of the military and political expansion are the tremendous accomplishments that brought about modern civilization: the creation of law, and the great advancements in artisanship and engineering as the first roads, bridges, and aqueducts were built, giving rise to the "Classical" era in architecture, literature, and the Romance languages..

Köln, Germany: Böhlau Verlag, 1980 xii, 628 pp. Footnotes, appendices, bibliography, indexes. Text in German. Out-of-print. Praised by critics, this book provides a comprehensive religious and political analysis of northwestern Spain based on the "Historia Compostellana," one of the most important medieval Spanish historical sources (henceforth, HC; composed ca. 1106-1139 AD). The HC is a narrative of the deeds of Diego Gelmirez, bishop (1100-1120) and later archbishop (1120-1140) of Compostela. Commissioned by Gelmirez and successively written by several men in his confidence, the HC was originally conceived as a registrum (a collection of documentary materials loosely tied together by brief narrative passages) of the church of Santiago, but soon assumed the character of a coherent narrative. Surviving in several Latin codices, the HC deserves wider attention from scholars. CONDITION: Small bumps to corners of front board, and light overall rubbing to cloth covers. Internally fine.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 16 x 24 cm. more information
