Henri Pirenne, "Historia económica y social de la Edad Media"
Editorial: Fondo de Cultura Económica | ISBN: 9589093558 | 14va. reimp: 1975 | language: spanish | PDF, 267 pages | 14 MB

La síntesis de la historia económica y social de la Edad Media de Henri Pirenne era en realidad una contribución que el ilustre historiador belga entregó para una empresa colectiva. Formaba parte del volumen VIII de la Hisloire du Moyen Age. Tan pronto como este volumen apareció, la obra de Pirenne fue acogida con entusiasmo. Marc Bloch, en ese momento sin duda el juez más autorizado en la materia, se expresó así: “Frente a la admirable síntesis de historia económica que acaba de escribir Pirenne, un comentarista debe, honestamente, confesar su embarazo. ¿Es necesario repetir el valor de las cualidades que hacen de cada una de las obras del gran sabio belga, desde su aparición, en el sentido propio de la palabra, un ciático de nuestra literatura? Esas cualidades son: una información que, en este escritor encumbrado a la cima de los honores, podría, por su cuidado escrupuloso, darse como modelo a los más jóvenes aprendices; una claridad soberana; un sentido de las masas, un ímpetu, presente de los dioses, envidiado por todos los que manejan una pluma...

Leper Knights

David Marcombe, "Leper Knights: The Order of St Lazarus of Jerusalem in England, c.1150-1544" (Studies in the History of Medieval Religion)
Boydell Press (2003) | English | ISBN 0851158935 | 345 pages | PDF | 4.96 MB

One of the most unusual contributions to the crusading era was the idea of the leper knight - a response to the scourge of leprosy and the shortage of fighting men which beset the Latin kingdom in the twelfth century. This book explores the important contribution of the English branch of the order, which by 1300 managed a considerable estate from its chief preceptory at Burton Lazars in Leicestershire. The book uses both documentary and archaeological evidence to provide the first ever account of this little-understood crusading order.

Puritan Iconoclasm during the English Civil War

Julie Spraggon, "Puritan Iconoclasm during the English Civil War" (Studies in Modern British Religious History)
Boydell Press (2003) | English | ISBN 0851158951 | 340 pages | PDF | 1.70 MB

This work offers a detailed analysis of Puritan iconoclasm in England during the 1640s, looking at the reasons for the resurgence of image-breaking a hundred years after the break with Rome, and the extent of the phenomenon. Initially a reaction to the emphasis on ceremony and the 'beauty of holiness' under Archbishop Laud, the attack on 'innovations', such as communion rails, images and stained glass windows, developed into a major campaign driven forward by the Long Parliament as part of its religious reformation.
