A History of the Middle Ages (Classic Reprint) by Dana Carleton Munro Pdf
Excerpt from A History of the Middle Ages In this text-book three subjects have been emphasized: first, the work of the Christian Church, the greatest of the civilizing agencies; second, the debt which we owe to the Byzantine and Arabic civilizations; third, the life of the times. While endeavoring to subordinate mere facts and dates, I have intended to introduce those with which a pupil should be familiar. It is impossible to name the sources to which I am indebted; as I have formed my opinions gradually, during thirteen years in which I have been engaged in studying and teaching medieval history. In preparing the maps I have profited greatly by the admirable Oxford Historical Atlas of Modern Europe. Dr. A. F. Nightingale, of Chicago, Mr. F. L. Thompson, of New York, and Dr. Caroline Colvin, one of my students, have read the whole manuscript and made many helpful suggestions. Prof. E .H. Castle and Dr. A. C. Howland, of the Teachers College, Dr. E. A. Singer, of Philadelphia, Prof. Wilfred H. Munro, of Brown University, Prof. E. P. Cheyney, and Dr. W. E. Lingelbach, of the University of Pennsylvania, have read one or more chapters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Empire and Papacy in the Middle Ages by Alice Drayton Greenwood Pdf
Excerpt from Empire and Papacy in the Middle Ages: An Introduction to the Study of Medieval History for Use in Schools Tms little book is written for the use of those who have not yet made acquaintance with the history of the Mediteval Empire in the West. It aims, there fore, at giving broadly faithful pictures of the more important and interesting scenes and persons through out a very long period, and, as I have preferred omitting many facts and details to crowding the pages with mere names, a long series of events must sometimes be summed up in one paragraph. But I have attempted to observe due proportions, and I hope that, should the book ever be used in schools, teachers will find it to be so arranged as to lend itself easily to further expansion. In so small a book it would have been inappropriate to discuss vexed questions of history. If I have appeared to assume too much as proven, it is partly because in an introductory sketch I have thought clearness as important as correctness of detail. For the insertion of certain famous traditions I do not apologise: if not actually true, they usually give a truthful picture, and at least show us how, for centuries, men regarded certain deeds and heroes; they are a part of historical literature which only the scholar can afford to disregard, because he already knows them.

The World in the Middle Ages by Adolphus Louis K Ppen,Adolphus Louis Koeppen Pdf
Excerpt from The World in the Middle Ages: An Historical Geography In introducing a new Work to the Public, it is expected that some account should be given of its inception, design, scope, and prosecution. Whilst delivering a course of lectures two years since in Providence, on Mediaeval History, I found no geographical work in English Literature, illustrating that period to which I could refer. This want suggested the present work. The Geography of the Ancient World presents no such deficiency, having been elucidated since the seventeenth century by the master-minds of Cellarius, Cluverius, Danville, and still more recently by Rennel, Mannert, Heeren, Uckert, and others. Much light has also been thrown on the remote ages of civilization by the late philological discoveries in Egypt and Persia, and the excavations of Nineveh. Yet the no less important period of the Middle Ages, though so thoroughly investigated by the modern Historian, has still remained comparatively neglected by the Geographer. Mediaeval Atlases have been published by C. Kruse (translated into French by Felix Ansart) and by Charles Spruner; but these being defective in letter-press, containing only scanty notes, and mere dry, historical tables, leave the student to depend on his own resources in the explanation of the maps. Thus no general comprehensive Geography, embracing the mediaeval times down to the close of the fifteenth century, has yet appeared to supply the want which must be felt by every student of Gibbon, Hallam, Sismondi, Guizot, and the other numerous writers treating of that era. It occurred to me, therefore, that my collectanea, made during my long residence in Italy and Greece, together with my notes of travel in the East - partly embodied in my Providence Lectures - might furnish me with ample materials for the composition of a work which would supply, at least in part, the wants of the student of Mediaeval History. Having met with encouragement from my publishers, the idea has been carried out, and I now offer to the public the "World in the Middle Ages." I have attempted to present an accurate geographical description of the world during the different periods of time from the ultimate division of the Roman Empire at the death of Theodosius the Great, A.D. 395, down to the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in the East, and the discovery of America in the West. That the dry details of Geography might not become tedious, I have occasionally introduced personal sketches, and notices of mediaeval institutions, with side-glances at the religions, languages, and literatures of the different nations. I have endeavored likewise to give that prominence to the Scandinavians, the Sclavonians, Tartars, and other Eastern tribes which their important influence on history demands; but which hitherto has been denied them. In the Geography of Ecclesiastical History, I have followed Rev. John E. Wiltsch. I have entered into more than usual detail on the Byzantine Empire, Greece, and the Eastern States, both with the hope of illustrating the brilliant pages of Gibbon and the Chroniclers of the Crusades; and in view of the important part which these Countries are about to act in the present crisis that seems to threaten the entire political system of Europe. I am indebted for the selection of my maps, to Professor George W. Greene's translation of Dr. Spruner's great Historical Atlas. For my authorities, I refer the reader to the footnotes, and the list of authors on the closing page of the Work. I have also carefully compiled Historical and Geographical Indices, referring to the number of the paragraph in every instance where the name occurs. I would ask the kind forbearance of the Public with regard to some occasional foreign expressions or turns of thought, which possibly may betray the author as a Dane. If this, my first attempt in ."
LAST PERIODS OF UNIVERSAL HIST by Emma Willard Pdf
Excerpt from Last Periods of Universal History Prefatory remarks.-the fresh events just added to my Universal History are, though forcibly condensed into small compass, numerous, and full of interest and importance. Like Columbus, I have steered my bark through untraveled seas, having collected my facts mostly from newspapers and periodicals, including annals; but I have journeyed in the meantime in my own and in foreign countries, and have often enjoyed the privilege of conversing with the actors of the historic drama, or those personally acquainted with their deeds. The ability to trace great events to their true causes, cannot exist without previous familiarity with his tory; nor is this alone sufficient. And here it becomes no historian to presume on his own success, but humbly to await the award of his judges.

Epics and Romances of the Middle Ages (Classic Reprint) by Wilhelm Wagner Pdf
Excerpt from Epics and Romances of the Middle Ages Egend is' not history; but in legend we find embodied historical truths, manners and customs of past ages, beliefs and superstitions otherwise long forgotten. Of which history itself takes no account. Legend has preserved for us, maybe in romantic dress, maybe' under altered names and circumstances, stirringgpictures of heroes and heroines, who once have lived and suffered, fought and conquered, or have faced death with' trustful courage; pictures, too, of men of equal prowess, as strong in evil as in might, who, victorious for a time, have yet ever met a stronger power than theirs, stronger in virtue, stronger in might.

When Knights Were Bold (Classic Reprint) by Eva March Tappan Pdf
Excerpt from When Knights Were Bold This book is in no degree an attempt to relate the involved and intricate history of the Middle Ages. Its plan is, rather, to pre sent pictures of the manner of life and habits of thought of the people who lived between the eighth and fifteenth centuries. Our writings and our everyday conversation are full of their phrases and of allusions to their ideas. Many of our thoughts and feelings and instincts, of our very follies and superstitions, have descended to us from them. To become better acquainted with them is to explain ourselves. In selecting from the enormous amount of material, I have sought to choose those customs which were most characteristic of the times and which have made the strongest impression upon the life of to-day, describing each custom when at its height, rather than tracing its development and history. I hope that the volume will be found sufficiently full to serve as a work of reference, and sufficiently interesting to win its way.

Excerpt from The Close of the Middle Ages: 1273-1494 More prominent than Spain and England, or even than France; and that Germany and Italy are not coherent states at all. The former is abundle of states, and the latter can hardly be said to be as much. And it may be urged with some force that German history in the fourteenth century cannot be studied without some attention being paid to Poland, Hungary, and Denmark; that the history of Venice and Florence cannot be isolated from that of Genoa and Pisa; and that even in tracing the growth of states which achieved some measure of unity it is necessary to note the absorption of the formerly distinct and independent provinces.

Excerpt from Select Documents: Illustrating Medieval and Modern History Secondly, that these general facts have at all, times dominated the particular facts. Thirdly, that these general facts cannot be explained nor accounted for by a mere enumeration or collocation of an ever so large number of particular facts.' They need, on the contrary, a consideration of their own from a point of view different from that required for the study of special facts. It has been the editor's object to state and account for those general facts that, in his opinion, are the dominating powers in all European history. This he has, after thirty years' study of documents, books, and historic maps, together with extensive travels in Europe and America, tried to do in his General story (two vols., now in the press). On the basis of the material and thought so collected from books and life and professional teaching of history, the editor has drawn up his plan for the present work.

Excerpt from Life in a Medieval City: Illustrated by York in the Xvth Century N English history the fifteenth century is the last of the centuries that form the Middle Ages, which were preceded by the age Of racial settlement and followed by that of the great Renaissance. Although the active beginnings Of this new era are to be Observed in the fifteenth century, yet this century belongs essentially to the Middle Ages Perhaps the most attractive feature Of the Middle Ages is that they were so intensely human. A naive spirit appears in their formal literature, as in Chaucer's account Of the Canterbury pilgrims, in their decorated religious manuscripts, in their thought, and very characteristically, in their archi tecture, which combines a simple naturalness with a bold and daring ingenuity. From columns, the constructional motive Of which is so simple and natural, and walls pierced with windows, they erected systems of lofty arches and high stone vaulted roofs, the stability of which depended on very skilled balancing of thrust and counter-thrust.
