Classical Influences on European Culture A.d. 500-1500

Klappentext Classical civilisation is shown to be a live historical force whose survival lies in the creative responses and developments it has inspired. Zusammenfassung The book begins with the manuscript tradition - the contents! location and history of the literary remains which provide the basic evidence on which all research in this subject must to some extent rely. This leads naturally to a discussion of what classical texts were actually read and studied! when! where and by whom. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface L. P.
