Bøker av Rodney M. Thomson

A fresh look at William of Malmesbury which not only demonstrates his real greatness as a historian and his European vision, but also the breadth of his learning across a number of other disciplines.

Books and learning in 12th-century Europe are the focus of this text. Discussions range from important individual manuscripts, to collections manufactured in "scriptoria" and the transmission and study of Latin literary texts. The focus is on England, but the European context is also emphasized.
