Synopsis of Textos y documentos de época medieval

This book, titled 'Texts and Documents of the Medieval Period', is an anthology spanning over a millennium, from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the geographical discoveries of the Renaissance. It focuses on the evolution of Europe through four main stages: the transition to the Middle Ages with the Germanic kingdoms, the High Middle Ages and the Carolingian Empire, the expansion of European society in the fullness of the Middle Ages, and the transformations and instabilities of the Late Middle Ages. Despite its Eurocentric focus, it also includes the Byzantine and Islamic civilizations, projected towards the Slavic world and the Mediterranean, respectively. The book offers rules for the commentary of medieval texts and documents, applied to significant models, and includes introductions to each chapter and block of texts to chronologically and thematically locate the testimonies. In addition, it presents a wide selection of titles as a source of bibliographic information.
