Contents Description:

Eloquent and skillfully written, these essays by eleven internationally renowned medievalists create a panoramic picture of medieval society from Florence to Paris and Seville to Warsaw, bringing to life clerics, craftsmen, burghers, beggars, warriors, intellectuals, nobility, prostitutes, peasants, and many more. What emerges from this collective synthesis of medieval scholarship is an understanding of the beliefs, customs, and the life conditions of the major social and professional groups—the callings—of the Middle Ages. - from the inside flap
