Medieval Triptych: Descriptive Panels of Cloister, City and Castle Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781726414982)

This work aims to offer three distinct, yet interrelated, glimpses into the life, thought, and custom of medieval times, as experienced in northern French communities between the early thirteenth to the middle of the fourteenth centuries.The texts presented here were not necessarily written for the enjoyment of the leisure class but were probably used as guidance for the proper upbringing of young adults. Some of those, might have been interested in a clerical career, while others were probably more inclined toward marriage. Also offered here are an instructional piece or two for those who, because of their high-class privilege, could afford to delay planning the course of their life and instead chose recklessly to become enmeshed in more mundane pursuits. (How quintessentially modern!)
