Klappentext
"Medieval technology has been discovered twice, first by the peasants of Northern Europe and again by Mr. White and his colleagues. The enterprise they have brought to light has, or should have, replaced the old conception of stagnant Dark Ages. . . . White has collected his bold and often witty contributions to this fundamental revision of Western European historiography. . . . [He] quarries widely for this material: archaeology, iconography, etymology, travel literature, practical experience and much else are laid under his contribution. His resourcefulness and range demand admiration and invite imitation."--J. L. Heilbron, University Publishing "Lynn White always writes with a rare command of sources and bibliography and a fertile gift for juxtaposing previously unrelated facts; he writes also with charm and humor."--A. Rupert Hall, The Royal Society of Arts "One can see great cogency in White's thesis and can only congratulate him for giving us this superb collection of essays." --William A. Wallace, The Catholic Historical Review "Anyone reading any of these essays will be richly rewarded." --Joseph R. Strayer, Technology and Culture![Lynn White: Medieval Religion and Technology, Buch](https://wom.de/image/w468/front/0/9780520414136.jpg)
