Du milieu du XIIe siècle aux environs de 1330-1340, c'est l'apogée de la ville urbaine médiévale ["L'apogée de la France urbaine médiévale - 1150-1330" par Jacques LE GOFF]. Du milieu du XIVe au début du XVIe siècle, c'est une période à la fois de crise et de consolidation ["Crises et consolidations - 1330-1530" par Jacques ROSSIAUD]. Dans la première période, la ville se dégage du système domanial et, malgré la concurrence des châteaux et des monastères, remplace la cité. Dans la seconde elle s'épanouit dans le cadre seigneurial et monarchique, et dans la troisième elle se soumet au prince et à l'Etat mais devient le lieu du pouvoir et de la culture dominante. Subjuguée, déchirée, elle affirme son prestige et donne le ton" (in introduction de Jacques LE GOFF); index; bibliographie; riche iconographie (cartes, graphiques, plans, reproductions de gravures et peintures anciennes, photos). 1ère édition, reliée; exemplaire bien complet de sa jaquette (et non livre de poche).

1955"Originally published in 1864 as as 'La Cite? Antique, ' this remarkable work describes society as it existed in Greece during the age of Pericles and in Rome at the time of Cicero. Working with only a fraction of the materials available to today's classical scholar, Fustel de Coulanges fashioned a complete picture of life in the ancient city, resulting in a book impressive today as much for the depth of its portrait as for the thesis it presents. In 'The Ancient City, ' Fustel argues that primitive religion constituted the foundation of all civic life... 'The Ancient City' rightly takes its place alongside a number of pioneering works of the late nineteenth century that offered radically new interpretations of ancient society and culture. Indeed, modern anthropology, as well as classics, owes a debt to Fustel de Coulanges, whose early insights in 'The Ancient City' remain valid and provocative today."
