The Classical Heritage Of The Middle Age (1901)

The Classical Heritage Of The Middle Age is a book written by Henry Osborn Taylor and first published in 1901. The book is a comprehensive study of the influence of classical culture on the Middle Ages. Taylor explores the ways in which the classical heritage was preserved and transmitted through the medieval period, and how it influenced the development of art, literature, philosophy, and science during this time.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the classical heritage. Taylor begins by discussing the transmission of classical texts and ideas from the ancient world to the Middle Ages. He then examines the role of the church in preserving and interpreting classical culture, and the ways in which classical ideas were incorporated into Christian theology.Taylor also explores the influence of classical literature on medieval poetry and prose, and the ways in which classical themes and motifs were adapted to suit the tastes and sensibilities of medieval audiences. He discusses the revival of classical learning during the Renaissance, and the ways in which this movement led to a renewed interest in the classical heritage.Throughout the book, Taylor argues that the classical heritage played a crucial role in shaping the culture of the Middle Ages, and that its influence can still be seen in many aspects of modern Western culture. The Classical Heritage Of The Middle Age is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Western civilization, and the ways in which the past continues to shape the present.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
