Czechoslovakia in European History (Paperback): S.Harrison Thomson Czechoslovakia in European History (Paperback)
S.Harrison Thomson
R1,484 Discovery Miles 14 840 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

First published in 1943, this volume aims to trace the development of several of the more acute problems of Czechoslovak life and history in a country which has been highly sensitive to the disturbances which have shaken the rest of Europe and which has never been far from the tumult and the clash of arms. Only through historical analysis and quiet explanation of the facts can we fairly judge, in the light of past event, the ultimate value of a free Czechoslovakia to a free Europe.

The Writings of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln 1235-1253 (Paperback, New): S.Harrison Thomson The Writings of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln 1235-1253 (Paperback, New)
S.Harrison Thomson
R944 Discovery Miles 9 440 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Robert Grosseteste (c.1168 1253) was a theologian and philosopher who played a significant role in the development of early scientific thought; he held the position of Bishop of Lincoln from 1235 until his death. Originally published in 1940, this book constitutes an extensive bibliographical study of Grosseteste's works based upon original sources. Over 140 libraries were visited and approximately 2500 manuscripts consulted during the preparation of the text, with many manuscripts being examined without prior knowledge that they contained material by Grosseteste. A detailed introduction, indexes and photographic images of manuscripts are also included. This is a groundbreaking book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Grosseteste and the development of medieval thought.

Latin Bookhands of the Later Middle Ages 1100-1500 (Paperback): S.Harrison Thomson Latin Bookhands of the Later Middle Ages 1100-1500 (Paperback)
S.Harrison Thomson
R1,164 Discovery Miles 11 640 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Latin paleography of the classical period and beyond the Carolingian era has been well studied and described. But from about 1100 onwards we find a period of increasing national divergence in the character of book-hands used for writing, formal MSS. In this book Professor Thomson provides 132 characteristic specimens of the period 1100 1500, reproduced by lithography (in all cases in the original size). He excludes curial or chancery hands. Opposite each plate is a transcription of several lines. Above this, Professor Thomson provides comments on the distinguishing characteristics of the script. Cumulatively, the effect of these analyses is to provide a method of dating late medieval MSS and ascribing them to their country of origin.
