"In this engrossing study of a 1100-year period that transformed ancient Europe, celebrated mediaevalist Jacques Le Goff explores the startling contradictions that help to forge a durable civilisation. It was a period of violence and bloodshed, in which plague and harsh natural conditions conspired against progress. It was also a period of nation-building and considerable achievements in the arts, sciences, and technology."  from the front fold over panel blurb. Translated from the French by Julia Barrow.
