The standard works on Roman history in general are the Cambridge mcient
history ( 1939), Vol. XII; M. Rostovtzetf, History of the ancient world: Rome
(1931); Tenney Frank, History of Rome (1913); and A. E. R. Boak, Hinory of
Rome to r6r A.D. An important part of the period covered in this chapter is dealt
with in detail in J. B. }iury, History of the later Ro71Uin empire from the death of
Theodosius to the death of Justinian (1913). A very useful work isS. Dill, Romm
society in the lim century of the western empire (18c)8). E. R. Goodenough, The
church in the Roman empire (1931), is an excellent account of the early develop-
ment of the Church. The whole process of transition from ancient to mediaeval
civilization is well described in H. S. B. Moss, The birth of the middle ages (1935);
E. Emerton, Introduction to the middle ages ( 1888); F. Lot, The end of the mciem
world md the beginning of the middle ages (1931); and R. F. Arragon, The
transition from the mcient to the medieval world (1936). The best general work
on the invasions is J. B. Bury, The iwasions of Europe by the barbarians (1918).

T. Hodgkin, Italy and her invaders (188()-()9), 8 vols.; and R. H. Hodgkin, History
of the Anglo-Sa:rons, give detailed accounts of the invasions into Italy and England.
The most detailed and authoritative account of the Byzantine Empire avail-
able in English is A. A. Vasiliev, History of the Byzantine empire (1928-29), 2 vols.
Two shorter but good treatments of the subject are C. Diehl, History of the
Byzantine empire (1925), and S. Runciman, Byzantine civilization (1933). Two
recent specialized studies, P. Charanis, Church and state in the later Roman empire
(1939), and J. M. Hussey, Church and learning in the Byzantine empire (1937),
deal with important subjects. Robert Byron, The Byzantine achievement (1929), is
an excellent work on Byzantine culture. The best work on the Moslems is P. K.
Hitti, History of tbe Arabs (1946). H. A. Gibbons, Foundation of the Ottoman
empire (1916), is the standard work on this subject. The most recent detailed ac-
counts of the early history of Russia are G. Vernadsky, Ancient Russia (1944),
and Kievan Russia (1948). Kluchevsky, History of Russia (1911-12), is still useful.
F. Nowak, Medieval Slavdom and the rise of Russia (1930), approaches the sub-
ject f:-om a somewhat different point of view.
H. S. B. Moss, The birth of the middle ages (1935), and E. Emerton, Intro-
duction to the middle ages (1888), supply good surveys of the Merovingian and
Carolingian periods. The best special book on the Merovingians is S. Dill, Roman
society in Gaul in the Merovmgian age (1916). There is no adequate book in
English on the Carolingian empire. The standard work in French is A. Klein-
clausz, L'empire carolingien (1901). T. Hodgkin, Charles the Great (1897), and
H. W. C. Davis, Charlemagne (1899), are biographies of Charlemagne by distin-
trJished scholars. The most recent and authoritative work on Anglo-Saxon England
IS Sir Frank Stenton, Anglo-Saxon England (1947). More detailed, but covering
only part of the Anglo-Saxon period, is R. H. Hodgkin, History of the Anglo-
Sa:rons ( 1935), • vols. The feudal institutions of the Carolingian period are well
described in C. E. Odegaard, Vassi and fideles in the Carolingian empire (1945).
The Vikings and the civilization from which they came are thoroughly treated in
T. D. Kendrick, A history of the Vikings (1930). A useful older work is A. Mawer,
The Vikings (1913).
By far the most thorough and scholarly account of the settlement of Western
Europe and the mediaevaf agrarian systems is the Cambridge economic history
(1941), Vol. I, edited by J. H. Clapham and Eileen Power. It is, however, rather
heavy going for the ordinary reader. E. Lipson, Economic history of England
(193-7), Vol. I; M. M. Kni~ht, Economic history of Europe to the end of the mid-
dle ages ( 1926); and P. B01ssonadc, Life and work in medieval Europe ( 1927), give
briefer anJ more readable accounts. N. Neilson, Medieval agrarian economy ( 1936),
is an excellent monograph devoted to this subject. The best description of the
techniques of mediaeval agriculture is found in R. E. Prothero, English farming
past and present (1912). Cecil Curwen, Plough and pasture (1946), is an extremely
Bibliograpby 493
stimulating brief discussion of the broad lines of agricultural development. Any-
one who reads French with ease should consult M. Bloch, Les caracteres originaux
de l'histoire rurale franfaise (1931). This is a basic work that paved the way for
most modern research in the field. There are two good books on village life: H. S.
Bennett, Life on the English manor (1937), and G. C. Homans, English villagers of
the thirteenth century ( 1940).
The best discussion of the feudal system in English is Carl Stephenson, Mt>diae-
val feudalism (1941). F. S. Ganshof, Feudalism (1951), is another valuable brief
study of the subject, from a somewhat different point of view. The standard mod-
ern work on feudalism isM. Bloch, La societe {Codale (1939-40), 1 vols. It is far
more detailed than the books by Stephenson and Ganshof, but it is rather hard
reading even for one who has a good mastery of French. Anyone interested in see-
ing how feudalism worked in a particular country should read Sir Frank Stenton,
The first century of English feudalism (1931). The connection between the feudal
system and the agrarian economy is shown in S. Painter, Studies in the history
of the English feudal barony (1943), and in Edward Miller, The abbey and bish-
opric of Ely (1951). There is one book that gives an excellent picture of mediaeval
rural life as a whole: W. S. Davis, Life on a mediaeval barony (1916). Unfortu-
nately it was written for boys, and the tone is condescending and hence rather
annoying.
At present the only satisfactory detailed history of the Crusades is Rene Grous-
set, Histoire dts croisades (1934-36), 3 vols. S. Runciman is writing a multivolume
History of the Crusades, of which several volumes have appeared. A large-scale
cooperative history of the Crusades is being written under the direction of a com-
mittee of editors headed by Kenneth Setton, and two volumes should appear dur-
ing •953· As this is the work of scholars from many nations, it should be the stand-
ard authoritative treatment of the subject. R. A. Newhall, The crusades (19Z7), is
a useful brief account. A. C. Krey, The first crusade (19zl), is the work of an
expen in the field. There are a number of good biographies of leaders of the First
Crusade: J. C. Andressohn, Ancestry and life of Godfrey de Bouillon (1947);
Marshall Baldwin, Rilymond 111 of Tripolis ( 1936); R. B. Yewdale, Bohemond I of
Antioch (1914); and R. Nicholson, Tancred (1940). On the Latin kingdom one
should consult D. C. Munro, The kingdom of the crusaders (•93S), and John L.
La Monte, Feudal monarchy in the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem.
For Spain the best work is still R. Merriman, ruse of the Spanish empire (1918).
A more recent book on pan of the region is H. J. Chaytor, History of Aragon
and Catalonia (1933). A brilliant brief account of the Nonnan conquest of Sicily
will be found in C. H. Haskins, The Normans in European history (•9•s). Fuller
treatments are J. W. Osborne, The greatest Norman conquest (1937), and E. Cur-
tis, Roger of Sicily and the Normans in lower Italy (191Z).
The standard authoritative work on commerce and industry in the Middle Ages
is the Cambridge economic history, Vol. 11, which was published at the end
of 1953. The general works on economic history have secnons devoted to these
subjects: H. Pirenne, Economic and social history of Europe ( 1936); H. Heaton,
Economic history of Europe (1936); M. M. Knight, Economic history of Europe
to the tnd of the middle ages ( 19z6); E. Lipson, Economic history of England
(1937), Vol. I; and P. Boissonade, Life ana work in medieval Europe (1917).
H. Pirenne, Mediaeval cities (19zs), is a brilliant brief account of urban develop-
ment. Although Carl Stephenson, Borough and town (1933), is chiefly concerned
with England, it has a valuable chapter on continental towns. F. Schevill, History
of Florence (1936), and W. F. Butler, The Lombard communes (•9Q6), are valu-
able for the Italian towns. F. W. Hill, Medieval Lincoln (1948), is an excellent
descriptive account of a mediaeval town. R. A. De Roover, The Medici bank, its
organization, management, operations, and decline (1948), is a brilliant srudy of
Bibliography 495
early banking; and Eileen Power, The wool trade in English medieval binory
(1941), is an equally effective discussion of an important phase of mediaeval com-
merce.
C. Petit-Dutaillis, Feudal mo11111chy in France and England from the tenth to the
thirteenth century (1936), covers this period as well as the earlier one. An out-
standing work on France is A. Luchaire, Social France in the time of Philip Au-
gustus (1911). This is one of the great books on mediaeval history and a model
account of a king's reign. S. Painter, The scourge of the clergy, Peter of l>rt!U%,
duke of Brittany (1937), gives a picture of French feudal politics. F. Funck-
Brentano, The middle ages (1913), supplies a brief but excellent account of this
period. In addition most of the books on England contain a good deal of infor-
mation about France as well.
The general histories mentioned under Chapter VI cover this period of English
history: A. L. Poole, From Domesday Book to Magna Carta (znd ed., 1955); G. B.
Adams, Hinory of England from the Norman Conquen to the death uf fohn ( 1905);
and H. W. C. Davis, England under the Normans and Angevins (1905). T. F. Tout,
Hinory of England from the accession of Henry Ill to the death of Edward Ill
(1905), follows G. B. Adams in the same series and covers the period indicated.
Sir Maurice Powicke, The thirteenth century (znd ed., I<)61), in the "Oxford
Series", is the authoritative work on the reigns of Henry III and Edward I. Kate
Norgate has written a series of books on this period: England under the Angwin
kings (1887), 1 vols.; IUchard the Lion Heart (1914); and fohn Lack/and. Although
lacking imagination and interpretation, they are useful factual accounts. The reigns
of John and Henry Ill are covered by two recent works: S. Painter, The reign of
King fohn ( 1949), and Sir Maurice Powicke, Henry Ill and the Lord Edward
(1947). Useful biographies are L. F. Salzman, Henry 11 (1914); S. Painter, William
Marshal, knight-errant, baron, and regent of England (1933); Sir Maurice Powicke,
Stephen Langton (1918); and C. Bemont, Simon de Montfort, translated and revised
by E. F. Jacob (1930). R. F. Treharne, The baronial plan of reform, 12;6-1263 (1931),
is a valuable work on that significant subject.
For the Holy Roman Empire, G. Barraclough, The origins of modern Germany
(1946), is much the best work. J. W. Thompson, Feudal Germany (1917), covers
this period, but his interpretation of it is rot generally accepted today. There are
two good biographies in English: A. L. Poole, Henry the Lion (1911), and E.
Kantorowicz, Frederick II ( 1931).
D. S. Schaff, History of the Christian church (1907), Vol. V, covers this period
as well as the earlier one. The best work on the specific period is S. Packard,
Europe and the church under Innocent Ill (1917). W. E. Lunt, Papal revenues in
the middle ages (1934), 1 vols~ is an extremely valuable work on papal finances
and financial machinery. Sir Maurice Powicke, Stephen Langton (1918), supplies
a valuable insight into ecclesiastical politics and policies. H. D. Sedgwick, ItiJJy in
the thirteenth century ( 1918), is useful for Innocent III. An extremely illuminating
book on the early heresies is E. S. Davison, Forerunners of St. FranciS (1917). The
second volume of G. G. Coulton, Five centuries of religion (1917), tells a great
deal about contemporary monasticism and the friars. A. Jessop, Tbe coming of the
Bibliography
friars (19:8), is a useful book on the early friars, as is R. F. Bennet, The early
DominictmS ( 1917). Lives of the founders of the two orders of friars are B. Jarrett,
Life of Saint Dominic (1914), and Paul Sabatier, Life of St. Francis of Assisi,
translated by Louise S. Houghton (19zz).
The only satisfactory book on the Hundred Years' War as a whole is Edouard
Perroy, The Hundred Years War, translated by W. B. Wells with an introduction
by David C. Douglas (1951). There are several useful works on military history.
The most recent and authoritative is F. Lot, L'art militaire et les armees au moyen
age ( 1946). C. Oman, A history of the art of war in the middle ages ( 1913), z vols.,
is still very useful, but many of Oman's ideas are no longer generally accepted. For
a detailed study of the development of the English army and tactics that won so
many battles in the Hundred Years' War the reader should consult John E. Morris,
The Welsh wars of Edward I (Igoi). Richard A. Newhall, The English conquest
of Normandy, 1416-1424 (1914), is an excellent account of that phase of the war.
The volumes of the "Oxford Series" covering the later Middle Ages have not
yet been announced. The standard books are C. Oman, History of England from
the accession of llichard II to the death of llichard Ill (Igo6), and K. H. Vickers,
England in the later middle ages (1914). G. M. Trevelyan, England in the age of
Wycliffe (Igog), is a brilliant summary of English society in the late fourteenth
century. C. L. Kingsford, Henry V ( I<}OI), is a good biography, as is K. H. Vickers,
Humphrey, duke of GlouceYter (1go7). R. B. Mowat, Wars of the Roses (1914), is
a good brief account of the civil wars.
F. Funck-Brentano, The middle ages (1923), continues to be a convenient brief
account. Edouard Perroy, The Hundred Years War (1951), gives a good summary
of French history during the period. The years after the close of the war are ably
treated in P. Champion, Louis XI, translated by Winifred S. vVhale ( 1929).
A. Cartellieri, The court of Burgundy (1929), gives an excellent account of the"
environment of the Burgundian dukes. A. B. Kerr, Jacques Coeur (1928), is a good
biography. For all the various phases of the history of this period one should con-
sult]. Huizinga, The waning of tbe middle ages (1924).
Here too, D. S. Schaff, History of the Christian church (•go?), Vol. V, gives a
general account. More concentrated on this period are L. E. Binns, The decline and
fall of the medieval papacy (1934), and A. Flick, The decline of the medieval
church (1930), z vols. T. S. R. Boase, Boniface VIII (1933), is a good account of
that papal reign. M. Spinka, fohn Hus and the Czech reform (1933), and H. B.
Wockman, John Wyclif (1926), describe the careers of the two chief heretics of
the age. E. F. Jacob, Essays 01l the conciliar epoch (1943), and J. H. Wylie, The
Council of Constance (•goo), are valuable for the conciliar movement. W. E. Lunt,
Papal revenues in the middle ages (1934), 2 vols., is particularly important for an
understanding of the problems facing the A vignon popes.
