This book was digitized and reprinted from the collections of the University of California Libraries. It was produced from digital images created through the libraries’ mass digitization efforts. The digital images were cleaned and prepared for printing through automated processes. Despite the cleaning process, occasional flaws may still be present that were part of the original work itself, or introduced during digitization.

Although Taylor was an historian, indeed a former head of the AHA, his two volume "History of Thought and Emotion in the Middle Ages" is an intellectual and cultural history with little attention paid to political events. As such it was very helpful for me in filling in the gaps left by the church history course sequence taken while in seminary. I still have much to learn about politics during the period.
This two volume set was picked up while helping to organize the foundation of the first public library in Bridgman, Michigan.
