How did medieval people make sense of their surroundings, and how
did this change over the years as understanding and knowledge
expanded? This new Seminar Study is designed to familiarise
students of medieval history with the ways in which medieval people
interpreted the world around them - how they rationalised their
observations, and why they developed the models for understanding
that they did. Most importantly, it shows how ideas changed over
the medieval period, and why. With extensive primary source
material, this book builds up a picture using medieval
encyclopedias, prose literature and poetry, records of estate
management, agricultural treatises, scientific works, annals and
chronicles, as well as the evidence from art, architecture,
archaeology and the landscape itself. An excellent introduction for
undergraduate students of Medieval history, or for anyone with an
interest in the medieval natural world.
