Medieval Military TechnologyUniversity of Toronto Press, 2012 M01 1 - 356 páginas First published in 1992, Medieval Military Technologyhas become the definitive book in its field, garnering much praise and a large readership. This thorough update of a classic book, regarded as both an excellent overview and an important piece of scholarship, includes fully revised content, new sections on the use of horses, handguns, incendiary weapons, and siege engines, and eighteen new illustrations.

Throughout, the authors connect these technologies to broader themes and developments in medieval society as well as to current scholarly and curatorial controversies. |
