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. 410 0$aFundamentals of medieval and early modern culture ;$v12. 606 $aLaw, Medieval 606 $aAuthority$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aSocial history$yMedieval, 500-1500 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw, Medieval. 615 0$aAuthority$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aSocial history 676 $a303.3/6 701 $aKangas$b Sini$01046545 701 $aKorpiola$b Mia$0891897 701 $aAinonen$b Tuija$f1972-$01046546 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464301503321 996 $aAuthorities in the Middle Ages$92473525 997 $aUNINA
