[eBook] [PDF] For Between Prophecy and Apocalypse The Burden of Sacred Time and the Making of History in Early Medieval Europe 1st Edition By Mattew Gabriele
The tenth and eleventh centuries in medieval Europe are commonly seen as a time of uncertainty and loss: an age of lawless aristocrats, of weak political authority, of cultural decline and dissolute monks, and of rampant superstition. It is a period often judged from its margins, compared (mostly negatively) to what came before and what would follow. We impose upon it both a sense of nostalgia and a teleology, as they somehow knowingly foreshadow what is to come.
