{"product_id":"gregory-of-tours-martin-heinzelmann-9780521631747","title":"Gregory of Tours: History and Society in the Sixth Century","description":"For 1400 years Gregory's Histories--the principal work of Merovingian history--have been understood as a \"history of the Franks\" and as an objective portrayal of history, albeit told by a naive narrator. This completely new interpretation of the Histories reveals connections between apparently unconnected, adjacent chapters, and also begins to make out their real function. Gregory (538-594) can be seen as focusing on the development of a socio-political concept of society, which anticipates the leadership of the Christian state entrusted to the joint government of bishops and king.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Heinzelmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521631742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521631747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Martin Heinzelmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43920044392703,"sku":"9780521631747","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_af64394d-815a-4f86-a223-2627de2b16b2.jpg?v=1680813288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gregory-of-tours-martin-heinzelmann-9780521631747","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
