La prima rivoluzione europea. 970-1215

Synopsis of La prima rivoluzione europea. 970-1215

In this fundamental work, historian R. I. Moore challenges the traditional belief that Europe was born in the first millennium, arguing that its true formation occurred between the 11th and 12th centuries. The author analyzes how, during this period, northwestern Europe achieved continental centrality, merging Greco-Roman heritage with Judeo-Christian traditions to build its own identity. The book explores the social, institutional, and intellectual changes that defined this era, offering a critical perspective on how European civilization selected and adapted elements of its past to forge its future.
