Böcker av John Cotts

This volume will provide the first English translation of Ralph Niger's critical reflection on military pilgrimage, written in the late 1180s in response to the calling of the Third Crusade.

John D. Cotts introduces the twelfth century as a period when European society was radically transformed by new cultural possibilities. Covering political, economic and intellectual issues, as well as the Crusades, Cotts focuses on the ways in which Europeans encountered these possibilities, and how they dealt with the moral problems that arose.
