Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. In this influential reinterpretation of medieval technological history, historian Jean Gimpel argues that Europe experienced an early form of industrial revolution centuries before the better-known transformation of the nineteenth century. Drawing on archival research and engineering history, Gimpel explores innovations in agriculture, mining, metallurgy, architecture, and mechanical engineering that reshaped medieval society. The book examines the development of water-powered machinery, large-scale mining operations, advances in construction technology, and the rise of sophisticated mechanical clocks - technologies that laid foundations for later industrial growth. The study also highlights the role of medieval architect-engineers such as Villard de Honnecourt and the technological sophistication behind cathedral construction and urban industry. Richly illustrated with diagrams, manuscript images, and architectural examples, the work remains one of the most accessible and thought-provoking explorations of medieval innovation and economic development.

The book was originally published in French as La revolution industrielle du Moyen Age. Jean Gimpel (1918-1996) was a French historian specializing in medieval economic and technological history. Educated at the Sorbonne, he became widely known for challenging the idea that the Middle Ages were technologically stagnant. His works - including The Cathedral Builders and The Medieval Machine - helped reshape modern understanding of medieval engineering, industry, and scientific development.
