From such major topics as the role of the Church fathers and the Bible, and the practice and law of marriage, to the cult of celibacy and the relationship between marriage and architecture, Professor Brooke's illuminating study offers the most complete account of medieval marriage ever published. He draws on a remarkable group of case studies and sources, including the letters of Heloise and Abelard, the epics of Wolfram von Eschenbach, and the poetry of Chaucer, and concludes with a penetrating look at the Arnolfini Marriage by Jan van Eyck.ACLS Humanities E-Book.MEDIEVAL IDEA OF MARRIAGEMarriageHistoryMarriageReligious aspectsChristianityHistoryMarriage customs and rites, MedievalMarriageHistoryMarriageReligious aspectsChristianityHistoryMarriage customs and rites, MedievalSociology & Social HistoryHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCFamily & MarriageHILCCMarriageHistory.MarriageReligious aspectsChristianityHistory.Marriage customs and rites, Medieval.MarriageHistoryMarriageReligious aspectsChristianityHistoryMarriage customs and rites, MedievalSociology & Social HistorySocial SciencesFamily & Marriage306.8/1Brooke Christopher1927-2015.157249American Council of Learned Societies.MiUMiUBOOK996247923103316Medieval Idea of Marriage31495UNISA
