FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE: Religion, War, Famine and Death in Reformation Europe
Cunningham, Andrew, and Ole Peter Grell
New York: Cambridge University Press, 2001. xiii, 360 pp. Illustrations, graphs, bibliographical endnotes, index. Using the prism of Dürer's woodcut, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," this important and beautifully produced book offers an original and exciting interpretation of early modern European history in the period 1490 to 1648. Dürer's image came to characterize the outlook of most early modern Europeans, who saw repeated episodes of war, epidemics and famine as indicating the imminent end of the world. Lavishly illustrated with fascinating contemporary images, this book brings together religious, social, military and medical history, giving readers a unique insight into the early modern world. CONTENTS: 1) Introduction: An apocalyptic age. 2) The White Horse: Religion, revelation and reformation. 3) The Red Horse: War, weapons and wounds. 4) The Black Horse: Food, f(e)ast and famine. 5) The Pale Horse: Disease, disaster and death. 6) Epilogue. CONDITION: Minor rubbing to boards.. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/No Jacket (as issued). 26 x 18 cm. ( more information) Offered by A Scholar's Tale Booksellers (United States)
