About this listen

A History of Medieval Civilization (Christian, Islamic, and Judaic) from Constantine to Dante, AD 325 - 1300

The fourth volume in Will Durant's Pulitzer Prize-winning series, The Age of Faith surveys the medieval achievements and modern significance of Christian, Islamic, and Judaic life and culture. Like the other volumes in the Story of Civilization series, this is a self-contained work, which at the same time fits into a comprehensive history of mankind. It includes the dramatic stories of St. Augustine, Hypatia, Justinian, Mohammed, Harun al-Rashid, Charlemagne, William the Conqueror, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, Maimonides, St. Francis, St. Thomas Aquinas, Roger Bacon, and many others, all in the perspective of integrated history. The greatest love stories in literature - of Héloise and Abélard, of Dante and Beatrice - are here retold with enthralling scholarship.

The content herein, is some of the most comprehensive any scholar is liable to find, concerning Mediaeval Civilisation and related topics.
The issue is minor: the narrator’s occasional mispronunciation of names, notably Louis as “Lewis”, and American habit of voicing numbers, such as saying “thirteen-hundred -zero-seven” instead of “thirteen oh seven”, and “.... in the year six-zero-five....” not “six hundred & five”.

I highly recommended this and other works in Will Durant’s “Civilisations” series.
