Mittelalter und frühe Neuzeit: Übergänge, Umbrüche und Neuansätze (Fortuna Vitrea, 16)

by Walter Haug (Editor)

This is Volume 16 of the »Fortuna Vitrea« series and also brings it to a close. The topic central to the whole series - the transition from the medieval to the modern age - is once again taken up and the major aspects and striking lines of development carefully traced with a view to reemphasizing the diversity of changes, upheavals, and innovations and replacing the clichè of 'one epoch after another' with the complex picture of a process taking place at different speeds and different levels across the centuries.
