What can we know about the Dark Ages?,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Plague and the End of Antiquity: The Pandemic of 541-750 (Hardcover)
Factors like epidemics as important historical forces have been largely underestimated. Little information has survived from these dark centuries and even less facts are available. This book tries to assess the demographic, economic and fiscal consequences of one of the first big epidemics which was recognised as such. Bringing in new methodologic approaches from biochemistry, the authors allow a clearer view with new facts.Due to the fact that we know very little from our written sources and even the demographics of antiquity are only in the beginnings, these new scientific approaches are an absolute necessity.
A must for any student of the dark ages. |
