Beschreibung

Princeton, Princeton University Press, 1983. Octavo, x, 605 pages. Cloth; front cover very slightly bowed; an excellent copy with the dustwrapper a little sunned and rubbed, and slightly creased and torn. Inscribed, dated (18 April 1983) and signed by the author. A sheet of manuscript notes is loosely inserted. 'This is a highly original, superbly researched, and clearly written work. Its main purpose is to reassess the transformations of European thought in the eleventh and twelfth centuries on the basis of suggesting new relationship between 'oral' and 'written' cultures. Stock's book is probably the most provocative approach to understanding the eleventh and twelfth centuries since the early work of R. W. Southern' (dustwrapper). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 128876
