Authorities in the Middle Ages offers answers to this thorny issue through specialized investigations. This book considers the concept of authority and explores the various practices of creating authority in medieval society. In their studies sixteen scholars investigate the definition, formation, establishment, maintenance, and collapse of what we understand in terms of medieval struggles for authority, influence and power. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume resonates with the multi-faceted field of medieval culture, its social structures, and forms of communication. The fields of expertise include history, legal studies, theology, philosophy, politics, literature and art history. The scope of inquiry extends from late antiquity to the mid-fifteenth century, from the Church Fathers debating with pagans to the rapacious ghosts ruining the life of the living in the Sagas. There is a special emphasis on such exciting but understudied areas as the Balkans, Iceland and the eastern fringes of Scandinavia.Fundamentals of medieval and early modern culture ;12.Law, MedievalAuthorityReligious aspectsChristianitySocial historyMedieval, 500-1500Electronic books.Law, Medieval.AuthorityReligious aspectsChristianity.Social history303.3/6Kangas Sini1046545Korpiola Mia891897Ainonen Tuija1972-1046546MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464301503321Authorities in the Middle Ages2473525UNINA
