The Medieval World Complete

Amazing book filled with vibrant images on every page and filled with incredible facts that gives an insight into how medieval life was lived.

great book with lots of pictures (800+ most in color). Illustrations are excellent and all dated witch is great.

Lovely little book - informative and easy to read (no surplus of academic dryness)! I especially liked the chapter about how independent medieval women really were "les femmes soles" vs. "les femmes couvertes" - good read, recommended!

A great book

Beautiful art work. If you are interested at all in the visuals of the Middle Ages, you'll want this book.

Only useful for a quick browse or introduction. Still the pictures are very good and a picture is worth a thousand words.

Front cover. Bent. Down at top Not real happy.damaged.

Excellent book for European history with lots of pictures.

Very comprehensive, covering different topics of medieval life such as religion and travelling but also gives a good overview of the history, with ancestry trees (eg the Plantagenets) without going into too much details about each King and Queen, which is not this books main focus - therein lies this books difference from other table books such as Derek Wilsons The Plantagenets and this makes this book unique. It's beautifully arranged Robert Bartlett has clearly edited this with great attention and care, and the illustrations are perfect quality plus the printing is flawless (or I didn't find the flaws. Perfect table book. The photos attached were taken with my phone so may not fully illustrate how clear the printing is, I tried to select various images not so known, this book is full of those. The text is informative not too detailed, ideal to introduce the Middle Ages. Overall this is a perfect choice to introduce the topic to anyone - they'll be drawn to the pictures and interested in the explanations, and won't be able to put down this book for hours.

The book was organized into very relevant sections. These sections covered religion, warfare, commercial life, and even the non Christian world. A very good book.

The book arrived very quickly and is in extremely good condition! Many thanks!

This book is copiously illustrated with contemporaneous pictures from the Middle Ages. Unfortunately this was before artists discovered paralax, and some of their drawings look odd.
