Atlas of Medieval Europe by David Ditchburn

Atlas of Medieval Europe by David Ditchburn

With over 180 maps, commentaries and a bibliography, this reference guide to medieval Europe talks about the complex and colourful history of the Middle Ages. It covers the period from the fall of the Roman Empire through to the beginnings of the Renaissance. Each map approaches a separate issue or series of events in medieval history.

'A valuable resource for any teacher of medieval history at sixth-form or undergraduate level.. there is a good balance between maps which provide reference for necessary bread-and-butter topics, from the Roman Empire in 395 to European expansion at the end of the middle ages, and those which illustrate new work and thinking on less expected topics.' - History

'As the editors of the Atlas of Medieval Europe rightly point out, a good atlas for teaching the history of medieval Europe has been sadly lacking for some time. Their attempt to solve this problem is not only commendable, but also a largely successful enterprise. Better still, the atlas has been designed as a teaching aid with scholarly sophistication and an attention to detail that many such aids do not possess. All medievalsits, not just historians, will find this atlas a helpful new resource.' - The Medieval Review

'For any serious study of medieval European history and culture, an atlas is essential ... the aim, carried out very successfully, is to ensure clear and uncluttered maps with the right balance between detail and legibility.' - Journal of Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies
