  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book III

    The Barbarian Invasions of the Western Roman Empire

    by Norman Baynes, Martin Bang, M. Manitius, Ludwig Schmidt, Christian Pfister, T. Peisker ...
    THE race which played the leading part in history after the break-up of the Roman Empire was the race known as the Teutons. Their early history is shrouded in obscurity, an obscurity which only begins to be lightened about the end of the second century of our era. Such information as we have we owe to Greeks and Romans; and what they give us is almost exclusively contemporary history, and the few ... Read more

  • The Framework of the Story of Jesus

    Literary-Critical Investigations of the Earliest Jesus Tradition

    by Karl Ludwig Schmidt ...
    Translated by Byron R. McCane ...
    Now available for the first time in English, Karl Ludwig Schmidt's The Framework of the Story of Jesus (Der Rahmen der Geschichte Jesu) has been a foundation of New Testament studies. Through meticulous analysis, Schmidt demonstrates that the Synoptic Gospels are collections of individual stories that circulated orally and independently in the earliest Christian communities. In their oral forms, ... Read more

  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book IV

    The Fall of the Western Roman Empire

    by F.J. Haverfield, F. Beck, Ernest Barker, Maurice Dumoulin, E.W. Brooks, Alice Gardner, E.C. Butler, Paul Vinogradoff, H.F. Stewart, W.R. Lethaby, J.B. Bury-020edt ...
    This process of history may be said to have entered on its effective stage in the West with Alaric's invasion of Italy. But it had been present, as a potentiality and a menace, for many years before Alaric heard the voice that drew him steadily towards Rome. The frontier war along the limes was as old as the second century. The pressure of the population of the German forests upon the Roman world ... Read more

    Justinian and the Imperial Restoration in the West

    by Charles Diehl, H.J. Roby, J.B. Bury-020edt ...
    ON 9 July 518 the Emperor Anastasius died, leaving nephews only as his heirs. The succession was therefore quite undecided. An obscure intrigue brought the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard, the comes excubitorum Justin, to the throne. This adventurer had found his way to Constantinople from the mountains of his native Illyricum in search of fortune, and now became, at the age of almost seventy ... Read more

  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book I

    From the Rise of Constantine to the Death of Julian

    by H.M. Gwatkin, J.S. Reid, Norman Baynes ...
    THE first question that has to be considered in laying down the plan of a Medieval History is, Where to begin? Where shall we draw the line that separates it from Ancient History? Some would fix it at the death of Domitian, others at that of Marcus. Some would come down to Constantine, to the death of Theodosius, to the great barbarian invasion of 406, or to the end of the Western Empire in 476; ... Read more

  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book VIII

    The Arab-Byzantine Wars and the Early Middle Ages

    by T. Peisker, E.W. Brooks, Camile Jullian, F.E. Warren, W.J. Corbett ...
    The Arabs first invaded Asia Minor during the commotions of 641. In 642 a plan of Valentine for a combined attack on them was frustrated by his defeat; but Theodore and Procopius penetrated as far as Batnae, and an Armenian force occupied Amida and nearly reached Edessa before they were routed. In 643, Valentine having returned to Constantinople, the enemy again entered Asia Minor, and Arabissus ... Read more

    The Prophet Mohammed and the Islamic Conquest

    by A.A. Bevan, C.H. Becker ...
    OUR knowledge of Mahomet, his life and his teaching, is derived entirely from documents which have been handed down by Muslims; no contemporary non-Muslim account is extant, and the testimony of later non-Muslim writers has as little claim to consideration as the statements in the Talmud concerning Christ. Among our authorities the Koran, for obvious reasons, occupies the foremost place. The ... Read more

  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book XIII

    Learning and Literature in the Early Middle Ages

    by Louis Halphen, Paul Vinogradoff, W.R. Lethaby, Montague James ...
    The alluring dream of Charles the Great has vanished; after his death no temporal prince was found capable of carrying on his work, and it fell to ruins. Nevertheless, the root idea which had inspired him still persisted: the idea of the unity of the Christian world, bound together and grouped round a single head, ready to give battle to the infidel, and to undertake the conversion of the ...

  • The Cambridge Medieval History - Book IX

    Charles the Great and the Holy Roman Empire

    by Paul Vinogradoff, G.L. Burr, Gerhard Seeliger, F.G. Foakes-Jackson ...
    THE eighth century had hardly entered on its second half when the last of the long-haired Merovingians was thrust from the throne of the Franks, and Pepin the mayor of the palace hailed as king. The change seemed slight, for the new dynasty had served a long apprenticeship. For more than a century the descendants of Clovis had been mere puppets in a king's seat, while the descendants of St Arnulf, ... Read more

    The Eastern Roman Empire from Leo III to the Macedonian Dynasty

    by Charles Diehl, E.W. Brooks, Albert Vogt, Frederic Macler, J.B. Bury-020edt ...
    THE history of the Byzantine Empire under the rule of the Isaurian dynasty is one of the periods in the prolonged evolution of the monarchy least easy of comprehension. The work of the sovereigns usually called the Iconoclast Emperors has been, in fact, recorded for us practically only by opponents or victims, and their impassioned reports have obviously no claim to be considered strictly ...

    The Eastern Roman Empire from Isaac I to Andronicus

    by Charles Kadlec, William Miller, Louis Brehier, Thomas Arnold, Ferdinand Chalandon, J.B. Bury-020edt ...
    WHILE the Germans impressed their characteristic stamp on both the medieval and modern history of Western Europe, it was reserved for the Eastern Slays, the Russians, to build a great empire on the borderlands of Europe and Asia. But the work of civilization was far more difficult for the Russians than for the German race. The barbaric Germans settled in regions of an old civilization among the ... Read more

    The Holy Roman Empire Triumphant

    by C.W. Previte-Orton, Austin Poole, Edwin Holthouse, Caroline Ryley ...
    “THE future of the realm”, Conrad is said to have declared with his dying words, “lies with the Saxons”, and he bade his brother Everard to bear the royal insignia to Henry, the Saxon Duke, as the one man capable of restoring the glory of the German name. The union of Frank and Saxon had given the throne to Conrad on the death of Louis the Child; the same alliance was responsible for the ... Read more
