Bibliomania: In the Middle Ages (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This compelling book explores the fascinating world of book collecting habits practiced by medieval monks. Set against the backdrop of a time when books were scarce and treasured, the author uncovers the remarkable passion for amassing and preserving knowledge held by these devout individuals. The book examines the practical realities of medieval monastic life, shedding light on the scribes responsible for meticulously transcribing and illuminating manuscripts, the establishment of monastic libraries, and the systematic lending practices that facilitated knowledge sharing among these communities. The author presents a balanced perspective, recognizing the limitations and complexities of the medieval era. While religious zeal played a significant role, the book argues that medieval monks were not simply zealous dogmatists but also curious intellectuals who sought out and preserved secular and classical works, contributing to the preservation of ancient knowledge. Ultimately, this book offers a profound insight into the value placed on books and learning in medieval times, revealing how monasteries served as crucial centers that cultivated the seeds of intellectual curiosity and scholarship. It challenges the traditional portrayal of the Middle Ages as a period of darkness, instead demonstrating the significant contributions made by medieval monks to the preservation and dissemination of knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781451006568_0
