«Autunno del Medioevo» is the historical essay by Johan Huizinga, published by Rizzoli in paperback (516 pages, in Italian).
Huizinga sees in France and the Netherlands of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries not only the prelude to the Renaissance, but the twilight of medieval civilization. Huizinga examines the forms of life and thought, art, the rituals of love and honor, symbolisms, myths and legends, and emphasizes the continuity between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
The essay was originally published in 1919 in Dutch under the original title «Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen». This Italian edition from BUR Saggi includes an introduction by Eugenio Garin and a translation by Bernardo Jasinsk.
For readers of medieval history, art history and historical essays; also for those studying the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
Johan Huizinga was a Dutch historian and one of the founders of modern cultural history.
