Rodney M Thomson & Emily Dolmans 
Discovering William of Malmesbury 

支持
A fresh look at William of Malmesbury which not only demonstrates his real greatness as a historian and his European vision, but also the breadth of his learning across a number of other disciplines.


In the past William of Malmesbury (1090-1143) has been seen as first and foremost a historian of England, and little else. This volume reveals not only William’s real greatness as a historian and his European vision, but also thebreadth and depth of his learning across a number of other fields. Areas that receive particular attention are William’s historical writings, his historical vision and interpretation of England’s past; William and kingship; William’s language; William’s medical knowledge; the influence of Bede and other ancient writers on William’s historiography; William and chronology; William, Anselm of Canterbury and reform of the English Church; William and the Latin Classics; William and the Jews; and William as hagiographer.

Overall, the volume offers a broad coverage of William’s learning, wide-ranging interests and significance as revealed in his writings.
