LIFE AND THOUGHT IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES

by Robert S.- Ed. Hoyt ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 1967

In the words of Karl F. Morrison, one of the eight contributors in this book of essays, ""Petrarch did not appreciate the cultural values of the 'Dark Ages'; the religious ethos of the period was foreign to him, and he acknowledged as supreme judgment under the aspect of time rather than under the aspect of eternity."" A group representing a variety of institutions of learning as well as their specialists, writes here within the framework of a certain respect and reverence for this period in time which ought more legitimately to be labeled ""transforming"" or ""transitional."" An intelligent and interesting discussion requiring some familiarity with its subject to be of value.
