Synopsis
This volume presents forty essays charting the period from the thirteenth century to the beginning of the sixteenth century written by the most eminent specialists in Croatia under the auspices of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. This period, which is little known even in Europe, is one of the oldest European cultures dating from medieval times. Despite its geographical diversity, reaching across the Adriatic into Italy, and to the countries of Eastern Europe, Croatia retained its distinct ethnic and cultural identity. The book covers every aspect of Croatian culture: political, social, economic, religious, cultural, artistic and scientific. In an innovative and detailed analysis, the forty authors have created a balanced picture of what was happening during this most important period. Richly illustrated with colour plates, maps, plans, charts and diagrams, the book provides a major resource for all those seeking to gain a broader understanding of the development of European culture from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

Hardcover. Condition: New. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** - *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened -- 800 pages; 500 illustrations. Publisher description: The present volume, undertaken under the auspices of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, presents forty essays written by experts in the field on the period stretching from the thirteenth to the beginning of the sixteenth century. Very little is commonly known about this period of Croatian history, even amongst Europeans, and so this volume about one of Europe's oldest cultures is a timely one. The essays that make up this volume have been organised in such a way as to provide a thematic view of the period, rather than a simple chronological one, the aim of this being to cover every notable aspect of Croatian life, whether it be social, cultural, political, or religious. One thing that emerges from these studies is that, despite its geographical diversity, in as much as it is a country that reaches across the Adriatic into Italy, as well as to the countries of Eastern Europe, Croatia has managed to retain a very distinctive ethnic and cultural identity. Richly illustrated with colour plates, maps, plans, charts, and diagrams, the book provides a major resource for all those seeking to gain a broader understanding of the development of European culture from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. -- with a bonus offer--; This is the second volume of the series covering Croatian art and architecture from royal times up to the present. This volume covers the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and incudes many buildings still extant from this period. Seller Inventory # 94500
