The World Of Rome History Paperback Book by Michael Grant Mentor Book 1961

By the fourteenth century Christian Europe had be- come irrevocably separated from the Byzantine and Islamic civilizations; the Crusades, the rise of the Roman Church, and the fixed boundaries of new national states had closed the "open" society of the twelfth century.

In a fascinating panorama of medieval life politics, religion, science, art Friedrich Heer describes how this great change took place. 

He analyzes the politics and institutions of the age, discussing the aristocracy, the peasantry, and, most importantly, the Church, with its ambivalent attitude toward contemporary philosophy and intellectual movements. 

Writing with authority and enthusiasm, Professor Heer offers a challenging new perspective of the medieval world.
