Dustjacket has a few small nicks and tears along top edge. Dustjacket has shelfwear and rubbing. ; Winchester Studies 4.III: the Anglo-Saxon Minsters of Winchester; 1.26 x 11.02 x 8.82 Inches; 300 pages; Property and Piety comprises an edition and translation with extensive commentary of thirty-three Anglo-Saxon and Norman documents relating to the topography and minsters of early medieval Winchester. These texts record the physical effects on the city of the foundation and expansion of the three neighbouring minsters and also of the removal of the New Minster to Hyde in about 1110. They record political religious and cultural aspects of the tenth-century reform of Benedictine monasticism of which Winchester was a leading centre. The splendid New Minster refoundation charter composed by Bishop AEthelwold and granted by King Edgar in 966 is here translated for the first time. A full examination is also made of the old minster confirmation charter probably fabricated in the reign of AEthelred. The volume also includes all Anglo-Saxon grants of land within Winchester and a reappraisal of the evidence for the beneficial hidation of the surrounding estate of Chilcomb. This volume is part of a three-book study in the Winchester Studies series of the Anglo-Saxon Minsters of Winchester including 4.i The Anglo-Saxon Minsters by Martin Biddle and Birthe Kjolbye-Biddle and 4.ii The Cult of St Swithun by Michael Lapidge. .

‎THE ROMAN EMPIRE AND ITS GERMANIC PEOPLES‎

‎University of California Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0520085116 . Dustjacket is protected in mylar. Minor scuffing to boards. ; 1.1 x 9.2 x 6.2 Inches; 379 pages; The names of early Germanic warrior tribes and leaders resound in songs and legends; the real story of the part they played in reshaping the ancient world is no less gripping. Herwig Wolfram's panoramic history spans the great migrations of the Germanic peoples and the rise and fall of their kingdoms between the third and eighth centuries as they invaded settled in and ultimately transformed the Roman Empire. As Germanic military kings and their fighting bands created kingdoms and won political and military recognition from imperial governments through alternating confrontation and accommodation the "tribes" lost their shared culture and social structure and became sharply differentiated. They acquired their own regions and their own histories which blended with the history of the empire. In Wolfram's words "the Germanic peoples neither destroyed the Roman world nor restored it; instead they made a home for themselves within it. " This story is far from the "decline and fall" interpretation that held sway until recent decades. Wolfram's narrative based on his sweeping grasp of documentary and archaeological evidence brings new clarity to a poorly understood period of Western history. .

‎CHANGES IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Essays in the Ordinary‎

‎Princeton University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0691036012 . Dustjacket and book have minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 416 pages; Written by one of the foremost historians of the Roman Empire this collection of both new and previously published essays forms a colorful picture of daily life in the Mediterranean world between A.D. 50 and 450. Here for example the author applies statistical analysis to broad groups of people on matters ranging from justice through medicine to language. In so doing he is able to substantiate general statements about routines in ordinary people's behavior and to detect within these routines the very changes that constitute history. Such analysis also shows how this era benefits from the same historiographical approaches that have so successfully elucidated sociocultural phenomena in other periods. Drawing from statistical analysis and many other historical approaches these essays on popular mores in the Roman Empire cover such topics as language and art acculturation thought and religion sex and gender cruelty and slavery and aspects of class and power relations. The author introduces the collection with several essays on historical method as it pertains to the richness of documentation and variety to be found in the region and period chosen. .

‎THE VISIGOTHS FROM THE MIGRATION PERIOD TO THE SEVENTH CENTURY An Ethnographic Perspective‎

‎Boydell Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0851157629 . Dustjacket has very minor rubbing. ; Studies in Historical Archaeoethnology; 1.8 x 9.77 x 6.98 Inches; 488 pages; Between 376 and 476 the Roman Empire in western Europe was dismantled by aggressive outsiders `barbarians' as the Romans labelled them. Chief among these were the Visigoths a new force of previously separate Gothic and other groups from south-west France initially settled by the Romans but subsequently from the middle of the fifth century achieving total independence from the failing Roman Empire and extending their power from the Loire to the Straits of Gibraltar. These studies draw on literary and archaeological evidence to address important questions thrown up by the history of the Visigoths and of the kingdom they generated: the historical processes which led to their initial creation; the emergence of the Visigothic kingdom in the fifth century; and the government society culture and economy of the `mature' kingdom of the sixth and seventh centuries. A valuable feature of the collection reflecting the switch of the centre of the Visigothic kingdom from France to Spain from the beginning of the sixth century is the inclusion in English of current Spanish scholarship.
