Empire At the End of Time - Identity and Reform in Late Medieval German Prophecy

Zusatztext By showing more concretely and in greater detail than ever before the ways in which the spread of anticlerical and apocalyptic prophecies went hand in hand with an emerging sense of what it meant to be German, Kneupper's work makes a significant contribution to our understanding of late medieval culture.
