The New Cambridge Medieval History.
Volume 1 c.500–c.700

The first volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the
transitional period between the later Roman world and the early
Middle Ages, c.500 to c.700. This was an era of developing consciousness
and profound change in Europe, Byzantium and the Arab world,
an era in which the foundations of medieval society were laid and to
which many of our modern myths of national and religious identity
can be traced. This book offers a comprehensive regional survey of the
sixth and seventh centuries, from Ireland in the west to the rise of Islam
in theMiddle East, and from Scandinavia in the north to theMediterranean
south. It explores the key themes pinning together the history
of this period, from kingship, trade and the church, to art, architecture
and education. It represents both an invaluable conspectus of current
scholarship and an expert introduction to the period.
