Download or read book A Cultural History of Gardens in the Medieval Age written by Michael Leslie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle Ages was a time of great upheaval - the period between the seventh and fourteenth centuries saw great social, political and economic change. The radically distinct cultures of the Christian West, Byzantium, Persian-influenced Islam, and al-Andalus resulted in different responses to the garden arts of antiquity and different attitudes to the natural world and its artful manipulation. Yet these cultures interacted and communicated, trading plants, myths and texts. By the fifteenth century the garden as a cultural phenomenon was immensely sophisticated and a vital element in the way society saw itself and its relation to nature. A Cultural History of Gardens in the Medieval Age presents an overview of the period with essays on issues of design, types of gardens, planting, use and reception, issues of meaning, verbal and visual representation of gardens, and the relationship of gardens to the larger landscape.

Download or read book Jardins du Moyen Age written by Marie-Françoise Valéry and published by La Renaissance du Livre. This book was released on 2002 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On y croise des jardiniers collectionneurs, architectes, botanistes, peintres ou poètes. Les jardins du Moyen Âge font rencontrer des passionnés qui sont aussi philosophes, historiens, souvent en quête de valeurs spirituelles, fascinés par une période finalement très riche, qui a eu ses plantes, ses tracés, sa symbolique et qui, pour passer de la terre au ciel, a construit des jardins et des cathédrales. À quelques rares exceptions près, les jardins historiques du Moyen Âge, qu'ils soient rattachés à un donjon, à un palais ou à une abbaye, n'existent plus. Mais notre époque est fertile en créations et reconstitutions où chaque créateur, tout en s'inspirant des données médiévales reconnues, laisse aussi parler son imagination... Entrons dans ces paradis clos, aujourd'hui miraculeusement vivants.

Download or read book Southern Italy in the Late Middle Ages written by Eleni Sakellariou and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-12-09 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length study of mainland southern Italy's domestic market in the late Middle Ages, this book discusses the interaction between population, the market, and the region's institutional framework, in the context of the impact of the late medieval 'crisis' on the European economy. Based on new or little-used documentary evidence, it adopts an interdisciplinary approach and combines economic history with elements of economic theory to reassess common knowledge on demographic and urbanization trends, the organization of the domestic market, the role of the state, and on actual patterns of agricultural production, industrial activity and commercial itineraries. The result is a fresh look at the late medieval economy of the kingdom of Naples, which, it seems now, is worth studying for its own merit.
