Seller's Description:
Fine. [2004] FIRST EDITION, fourth printing. Translated by Rodney J. Payton and Ulrich Mammitzsch. Purple binding with gilt lettering, illustrated with black and white plates, 467 pages includes comprehensive Index. No dustjacket, as issued. Condition: According to the book collector, this book was acquired for his collection, but never read. Book kept in a temperature-controlled room; there are no smoke smells from cigarettes or cigars. This book addresses the period of European history between ancient and modern times, the Middle Ages (sometimes called the Dark Ages). The author views the time around the 14th and 15th centuries, not as announcing the Renaissance, but as the end of the Middle Ages, as the age of medieval thought in its last phase of life, as a tree with overripe fruits, fully unfolded and developed. A wonderful, well-researched historical book and very collectible. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991. We describe the condition of our books thoroughly and honestly, so you'll know exactly what you will be receiving when you order. We ship promptly.
