A follow-up publication to the Handbook of Medieval Studies, this
new reference work turns to a different focus: medieval culture.
Medieval research has grown tremendously in depth and breadth over
the last decades. Particularly our understanding of medieval
culture, of the basic living conditions, and the specific value
system prevalent at that time has considerably expanded, to a point
where we are in danger of no longer seeing the proverbial forest
for the trees. The present, innovative handbook offers compact
articles on essential topics, ideals, specific knowledge, and
concepts defining the medieval world as comprehensively as
possible. The topics covered in this new handbook pertain to issues
such as love and marriage, belief in God, hell, and the devil,
education, lordship and servitude, Christianity versus Judaism and
Islam, health, medicine, the rural world, the rise of the urban
class, travel, roads and bridges, entertainment, games, and sport
activities, numbers, measuring, the education system, the papacy,
saints, the senses, death, and money.
