Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'eau à usage alimentaire, l'eau utilitaire, source d'énergie, moyen d'attaque et de défense, l'eau lustrale ou ludique, l'eau de transport, l'eau salutaire ou dangereuse... Ce sont les multiples facettes d'un élément, examiné dans cet ouvrage de synthèse. Le cadre choisi est le royaume de France, ses grands fiefs dont la Flandre, et quelques régions limitrophes dont font partie la Savoie et la vallée du Rhin, de la fin de l'Antiquité à l'aube des Temps modernes. Le sujet est vaste, la matière dispersée : ordonnances royales et princières, extraits de comptes domaniaux et municipaux, enquêtes, devis, procès, farces et nouvelles, bilans de fouilles archéologiques, découvertes d'installations portuaires et de navires fluviaux, toponymie... Quatre angles d'approche tiennent compte de la chronologie et de la thématique : l'utilisation de l'eau dans un passé lointain, encore mal connu, du Ve au XIIIe siècle (Livre I), les mutations de la fin du Moyen Âge avant, pendant et après la guerre de Cent Ans (Livre II), l'eau indispensable à l'économie urbaine (Livre III), les joies et les dangers individuels et collectifs que procurent les fleuves et les rivières (Livre IV). Plusieurs axes de recherches sont examinés dans chacun de ces cadres. Le fleuve contribue, avec la forteresse, le pont, le simple débarcadère en bois ou le quai en dur, à fixer l'habitat. La conquête des berges, leurs difficiles aménagements, le recul des zones amphibies, la naissance de bas quartiers constituent des étapes majeures dans l'aménagement des paysages urbains du XIe au XIIIe siècle. Le pompage, le forage, la circulation et la distribution de l'eau, l'installation de puits, de fontaines, de bassins permettent de mesurer la persistance des usages anciens et les progrès. La pollution doit être reconsidérée dans le temps et dans l'espace urbain et certaines solutions, telles que les fosses à fiens, servant de dépotoirs, les réseaux d'égouts, les lieux d'aisances, la création de services de nettoyage des rues, sont modernes pour l'époque. L'histoire de l'eau est aussi celle des moulins céréaliers et industriels, des moyens de déplacement et de transport, des équipes de halage, des compagnies de mariniers et de nauchiers. C'est également celle des batailles, des sièges, des plaisirs des yeux depuis les belles résidences, les jardins et les parcs, des jeux, du suicide, des meurtres et des exécutions. C'est celle des inondations ou des sécheresses catastrophiques et de leurs conséquences...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecocritical thinking has sensitized us more than ever before to the tremendous importance of water for human life, as it is richly reflected in the world of literature. The great relevance of water also in the Middle Ages might come as a surprise for many readers, but the evidence assembled here confirms that also medieval poets were keenly aware of the importance of water to sustain all life, to provide understanding of life’s secrets, to mirror love, and to connect the individual with God. In eleven chapters major medieval European authors and their works are discussed here, taking us from the world of Old Norse to Irish and Latin literature, to German, French, English, and Italian romances and other narratives.

Download or read book Bodily and Spiritual Hygiene in Medieval and Early Modern Literature written by Albrecht Classen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most people today take hygiene and medicine for granted, they both have had their own history. We can gain deep insights into the pre-modern world by studying its health-care system, its approaches to medicine, and concept of hygiene. Already the early Middle Ages witnessed great interest in bathing (hot and cold), swimming, and good personal hygiene. Medical activities grew over time, but even early medieval monks were already great experts in treating the sick. The contributions examine literary, medical, historical texts and images and probe the information we can glean from them. The interdisciplinary approach of this volume makes it possible to view this large field in a complex and diversified manner, taking into account both early medieval and early modern treatises on medicine, water, bathing, and health. Such a cultural-historical perspective creates a most valuable bridge connecting literary and scientific documents under the umbrella of the history of mentality and history of everyday life. The volume does not aim at idealizing the past, but it definitely intends to deconstruct modern myths about the 'dirty' and 'unhealthy' Middle Ages and early modern age.
Download or read book Medieval Urban Planning written by Mickey Abel and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadly defined, urban planning today is a process one might describe as half design and half social engineering. It considers not only the aesthetic and visual product, but also the economic, political, and social implications, as well as the environmental impact. This collection of essays explores the question of whether this sort of multifaceted planning took place in the Middle Ages, and how it manifested itself outside of the monastic realm. Bringing together the monastic historian and archaeologist, with scholars of art and architecture, this volume expands our comprehension of how those in roles of authority saw the planning process and implemented their plans to structure a particular outcome. The examination of architectural complexes, literary sources, commercial legers, and political records highlights the multiple avenues for viewing the growing awareness of the social potential of an urban environment.
Download or read book Urban Bodies written by Carole Rawcliffe and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2013 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This first full-length study of public health in pre-Reformation England challenges a number of entrenched assumptions about the insanitary nature of urban life during "the golden age of bacteria". Adopting an interdisciplinary approach that draws on material remains as well as archives, it examines the medical, cultural and religious contexts in which ideas about the welfare of the communal body developed. Far from demonstrating indifference, ignorance or mute acceptance in the face of repeated onslaughts of epidemic disease, the rulers and residents of English towns devised sophisticated and coherent strategies for the creation of a more salubrious environment; among the plethora of initiatives whose origins often predated the Black Death can also be found measures for the improvement of the water supply, for better food standards and for the care of the sick, both rich and poor."--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Plague Image and Imagination from Medieval to Modern Times written by Christos Lynteris and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection brings together new research by world-leading historians and anthropologists to examine the interaction between images of plague in different temporal and spatial contexts, and the imagination of the disease from the Middle Ages to today. The chapters in this book illuminate to what extent the image of plague has not simply reflected, but also impacted the way in which the disease is experienced in different historical periods. The book asks what is the contribution of the entanglement between epidemic image and imagination to the persistence of plague as a category of human suffering across so many centuries, in spite of profound shifts in our medical understanding of the disease. What is it that makes plague such a visually charismatic subject? And why is the medical, religious and lay imagination of plague so consistently determined by the visual register? In answering these questions, this volume takes the study of plague images beyond its usual, art-historical framework, so as to examine them and their relation to the imagination of plague from medical, historical, visual anthropological, and postcolonial perspectives.
Download or read book Conservation s Roots written by Abigail P. Dowling and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ideas and practices that comprise “conservation” are often assumed to have arisen within the last two centuries. However, while conservation today has been undeniably entwined with processes of modernity, its historical roots run much deeper. Considering a variety of preindustrial European settings, this book assembles case studies from the medieval and early modern eras to demonstrate that practices like those advocated by modern conservationists were far more widespread and intentional than is widely acknowledged. As the first book-length treatment of the subject, Conservation’s Roots provides broad social, historical, and environmental context for the emergence of the nineteenth-century conservation movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing prominence of urban life during the Middle Ages is undoubtedly one of the more transcendental and multi-faceted aspects of this era, having an effect on rules and laws, hygiene, and economic organisation. This book brings together contributions from a wide range of scholars who adopt a new approach to medieval urban life, using health, the economy, and regulations and laws as frames of reference for gaining a greater understanding of this historical period. Through these vectors, interesting insights are provided into medieval housing, cures for diseases, the work of artisans and merchants, and the relationship between the town and the wider region in which it was located.
