Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Geraldus Cambrensis, usually known as Gerald of Wales, wrote the medieval travelogue 'The Description of Wales' inside the late twelfth century. The book, which serves as each a geographical and ethnographic description, paints a shiny photo of Wales and its population in the course of Gerald's lifetime. Geraldus, a priest and student, mixes extraordinary observations with a sense of humor and occasional bias. The paintings are prepared into sections: the first gives an in depth description of Wales' terrain, natural sources, and monuments, and the second one specializes in Welsh customs, behavior, and anecdotes. Geraldus, who is Welsh and Norman, regularly interjects private ideas and reviews, giving the story a subjective and interesting tone.

It is an important ancient supply that sheds light on medieval Welsh tradition and society, giving readers a view into the contemplating a medieval pupil navigating the cultural terrain of his time. 68 pp. Englisch.…
