Europa im Mittelalter

First published in 1970 and now republished with an updated bibliography and a new foreword, Karl Bosl's study surveys the history of medieval Europe, focusing on its cultural and ethnic makeup, its contact with outsiders, and interaction, both hostile and economic, between its elements. Arranged chronologically, the study spans 300-1400 and covers the entire European continent, including Byzantium and Rus. The emphasis is on central Europe during the formative post-Roman centuries with its succession of nomadic cultures and the creation of monarchies in northern and central Europe. Bosl also examines the experience of Europe's Islamic and Jewish populations and Europe's state in the aftermath of the Hundred Years War. The text itself has not been revised since its original publication and much has been written since. German text.
