Self and Society in Medieval France: The Memoirs of Abbot

Self and Society in Medieval France: The Memoirs of Abbot Guibert of Nogent (Medieval Academy Reprints for Teaching 15)

In its original printing, this edition of the Autobiography was greeted in Saturday Review as â€˜a treasure-house of information on education, monastic life, and the beginnings of the great medieval towns â€¦ also delightful reading with its mingling of scholarship and superstition, its stories of necromancy and devils, its other-worldliness warring with human weakness.â€˜

Originally published by Harper Torchbooks, 1970.
