Sumario:It is an unusual book in many respects. It is a specific study based on original and in most cases unedited sources, but it can also be read as a general introduction. It crosses boundaries between different fields of learning and traditionally accepted time periods of history.

The final chapter traces the slow disappearance of the medieval mentality until the early nineteenth century.
