First published in 1979, this work, by the greatest living authority on medieval palaeography, offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date account in any language of the history of Latin script. It contains a detailed account of the role of the book in cultural history from antiquity to the Renaissance and outlines the history of book illumination. By setting the development of Latin script in its cultural context, it provides an unrivalled introduction to the nature of medieval Latin culture.Review...this translation should soon become the standard textbook for the teaching of Latin palaeography in English-language and North American graduate schools. Both the author and the translators deserve our thanks for bringing this project to its worthwhile conclusion. We now have at our disposal in English not only a modern scholarly synthesis on the history of Latin writing up to about the year 1500, with the insights and intuitive judgments of an accomplished master in the field, but also an authoritative and well-documented treatise on how manuscripts should be understood as the products of their contemporary cultural environment. Phoenix...the combination of new ideas, the comprehensive treatment, the rich notes and bibliography, all complemented by the extraordinary judgement which is the hallmark of Professor Bischoffs writing, make this handbook unequalled and unapproached in our present literature and a superb guide to further study. SpeculumIts publication is an auspicious occasion for English speakers who study western medieval manuscripts. The translators, paleographers in their own right, have understood and translated the text accurately and with skill. The volume includes twenty-three well-produced plates, superbly chosen by Bischoff to illustrate types of script and furnished by him with partial transcriptions and bibliography... SpeculumThis book, by the most distinguished living paleographer, should be on the shelves of all those interested in pre-1500 writing. A manual intended for students, it is the most concise and reliable introduction to its subject, as well as a guide to further reading, with extensive bibliographical citations in the footnotes.

For many, the medieval world seems dark and foreigna miraculous, brutal, and irrational time of superstition and strange relics. The pursuit of heretics, the Inquisition, the Crusades and the domination of the Holy Land come to mind. Yet the medieval world produced much that is part of our world today, including universities, the passion for Roman architecture and the emergence of the gothic style, pilgrimage, the emergence of capitalism, and female saints. This new narrative history of medieval Christianity, spanning from A.D. 500 to 1500, attempts to combine both what is unfamiliar and what isfamiliar to readers. Elements of novelty in the book include a steady focus on the role of women in Christianity the relationships among Christians, Jews, and Muslims the experience of ordinary parishioners the adventure of asceticism, devotion and worship, and instruction through drama, architecture, and art. Madigan expertly integrates these areas of focus with more traditional themes, such as the evolution and decline of papal power, the nature and repression of heresy, sanctity and pilgrimage, the conciliar movement, and the break between the old Western church and its reformers. Illustrated with more than forty photographs of physical remains, this book promises to become an essential guide to a historical era of profound influence. **Review This will undoubtedly be the fundamental narrative account of medieval Christianity for the next generation, smartly and engagingly written.John Van Engen, University of Notre Dame (John Van Engen) This impressive summary of the medieval church is comprehensive in coverage, rich in detail, and clear in presentation. It seamlessly combines the best of the received story of medieval Christianity with challenging insights from the newest historiography.Bernard McGinn, University of Chicago (Bernard McGinn) A masterful yet accessible introduction to the principal institutional, intellectual, and social developments of medieval Christianity, including the papacy and religious orders, particularly valuable for its attention to the place of Jews, Muslims, heretics, and women in these developments, as well as the problem of educating the laity.Rachel Fulton Brown, author of From Judgment to Passion Devotion to Christ and the Virgin Mary, 800-1200 (Rachel Fulton Brown) This much-needed book deftly combines the institutional, theological and intellectual history of medieval Christianity. Madigan admirably includes important topics missing from earlier surveys, such as Christian attitudes towards Jews and Muslims, the roles of women, liturgy, popular devotion and the arts.E. Ann Matter, University of Pennsylvania (E. Ann Matter) Offering a new approach to the history of medieval Christianity, this ambitious book fully lives up to the expectations it sets. Throughout its subtle and supple narrative, it deepens readers knowledge of this important period.Willemien Otten, University of Chicago (Willemien Otten) This is a masterful survey spanning a thousand years of the history of Christianity in Europe. Madigan shows an impressive command of recent scholarship as he brings to life the spiritual, institutional and intellectual struggles of individuals, be they popes or beguines, hermits or heresiarchs.John Tolan, Universite de Nantes (John Tolan) Accessible and clear . . . an engaging narrative history that should please experts while whetting the appetites of beginners.Publishers Weekly (starred review) (Publishers Weekly) [A] crowning scholarly achievement . . . a landmark of popular history . . . probingly researched and well-written . . . Madigan captures the power of it all and also the multifaceted humanity of it all . . . page-turningly fascinating. If you want one rock-solid book on Church history, this is it.Steve Donoghue, Open Letters (Steve Donoghue Open Letters) [A] compelling exposition of the evolution of the church.Thomas Filbin, Arts Fuse (Thomas Filbin Arts Fuse) Admirable . . .compelling . . .

This is a book that will change the American perception of the Pacific War. One important question is Who actually started the Pacific War? By examining recently discovered facts revealed through the declassification of official documents, the decoding of secret communications between the Soviet Union and its operatives, and findings from American and Japanese writers in recent decades, the author clarifies the role played by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and members of his cabinet in pushing Japan to the brink of war. Another notable analysis concerns the U.S. occupation of Japan immediately after the war. The author finds it as a spectacular success in politically castrating Japan. The impact is still clearly observable. Many Japanese have lost the sense of nationhood as a result. The author examines the historical background of U.S.-Japan relations from the visit of Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853 to the present day. Utilized a wealth of Japanese as well as American materials, he presents a view of the history of the two countries. He finds that Japan was not very skillful in utilizing code-breaking or information-warfare, but tried to liberate colonies in Asia and Africa, and indeed her effort was successful and ultimately resulted in the loss of Western Colonies including India, Indonesia, Burma, and Malaysia. After reviewing nearly two hundred years of history, the author urges contemporary Japanese to be free from the self-incriminating view of history and to be confident that the nation is on a right track. **

Author: W. Fitzhugh Brundage
File Type: pdf
font face=Segoe UI, serif size=2bMost Americans believe that a civilized state does not resort to torture, and yet, as W. Fitzhugh Brundage reveals in this essential and disturbing study, there is a long American tradition of excusing as well as decrying its use.bfontfont face=Segoe UI, serif size=2The pilgrims and merchants who first came to America from Europe professed an intention to create a society free of the barbarism of Old World tyranny and New World savagery. But over the centuries Americans have turned to torture during moments of crisis at home and abroad and have debated its legitimacy in defense of law and order.fontfont face=Segoe UI, serif size=2From the Indian wars to Civil War POW prisons and early penitentiaries, from the third degree in police stations and racial lynchings to the War on Terror, U.S. institutions have proven to be far more amenable to torture than the nations professed commitment to liberty would suggest. Legal and racial inequality fostered many opportunities for state agents to wield excessive power, which they justified as essential for American safety and well-being.fontfont face=Segoe UI, serif size=2Reconciling state violence with the aspirations of Americans for social and political justice is an enduring challenge. By tracing the historical debates about the efficacy of torture and the attempt to adapt it to democratic values, Civilizing Torture reveals the recurring struggle to decide what limits Americans are willing to impose on the power of the state. At a time of escalating rhetoric aimed at cleansing the nation of the undeserving, as well as ongoing military involvement in conflicts around the world, the debate over torture remains a critical and unresolved part of Americas tradition.font p Segoe UI, serif 13px**h3 Segoe UI, serif 13pxReview p Segoe UI, serif 13pxA remarkable account of Americas episodic engagement with torture over the course of the nations history. Brundage uncovers an American tradition marked less by legal and moral restraint than by strategies of rhetorical management designed to conserve American innocence and exceptionalism. A searing analysis of Americas past that helps make sense of its bewildering present.David Garland, author of *Peculiar Institution Americas Death Penalty in an Age of Abolition* p Segoe UI, serif 13pxAn indispensable book. Even as Americans have prided themselves on a civilized standard that is above torture, the United States has actually been engaged in the practice for virtually its entire history. Brundage shows that many of U.S. historys key moments have involved torture of the most despicable kinds. Heres hoping that Brundages book is the beginning of a new reckoning.John Fabian Witt, author of *Lincolns Code The Laws of War in American History* p Segoe UI, serif 13pxAmerican claims to constitute a higher form of civilization erode in the face of this sobering study of atrocity. With extraordinarily deep and wide-ranging research, Fitzhugh Brundage shows that the American state has repeatedly resorted to savage violence against marginalized groups such as Indians, slaves, and prisoners. Bringing a humane sensibility to an inhumane subject, Brundage forces us to confront our painful past.Barbara J. Keys, author of *Reclaiming American Virtue The Human Rights Revolution of the 1970s* p Segoe UI, serif 13pxThat Americans as a people and a nation-state are violent is indisputable. That we are also torturers, domestically and internationally, is not so well established. The myth that we are not torturers will persist, but Civilizing Torture will remain a powerful antidote in confronting it.Lawrence Wilkerson, Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Government and Public Policy, The College of William and Mary, and former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, 20022005 h3 Segoe UI, serif 13pxAbout the Author p Segoe UI, serif 13pxW. Fitzhugh Brundage is William B. Umstead Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship for his present work on torture in American history. Brundage has written extensively on racial inequality and violence, from segregation to lynching.
