Item description from seller

1963. (Trade paperback) Very good. 164pp. Maps, chronology, index. There is a previous owner's blindstamp on the front endpaper, and the spine is slightly faded. "In this essay, the Decline of Rome and the Rise of Mediaeval Europe, Mr. Solomon Katz presents a brief narrative account of the most awe-inspiring tragedy of western Europe: the failure of civilized men to maintain the most civilized society the world had yet known. From the time of Augustine to that of Gibbon, Europe lived under the shadsow of the Roman catastrophe, and hardly had our ancestors emerged from this shade onto the sunny slope of the century of progress when dark prophets began to read the destiny of modern civilization in the decline of ancient Rome. Historical observers have found it all but impossible to contemplate this glacial cataclysm without drawing moral conclusions, discovering religious revelations, or describing scientific verities." - from the Foreword by Edward Whiting Fox. Time Period Middle Ages & Roman Empire. Edited by Edward Whiting Fox. Publisher series: The Development of Western Civilization. Locale. (History). …
