Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Henri Pirenne's classic history of Europe between the fifth and ninth centuries, \u003cem\u003eMohammed and Charlemagne\u003c\/em\u003e, although published on the eve of the Second World War, remains an important work to this day. His famous summary said, \"Without Islam, the Frankish Empire would have probably never existed, and Charlemagne, without Muhammad, would be inconceivable.\" That is, he rejected the notion that barbarian invasions in the 4th and 5th centuries caused the collapse of the Roman Empire. Instead the Muslim conquest of north Africa made the Mediterranean a barrier, cutting western Europe off from the east, enabling the Carolingians, especially Charlemagne, to create a new, distinctly western form of government. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henri Pirenne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684221048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684221042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Martino Fine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.66d","brand":"Henri Pirenne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986325799167,"sku":"9781684221042","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf2ca590-c33f-44ce-9103-d865a2e5a529.jpg?v=1683282697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mohammed-and-charlemagne-henri-pirenne-9781684221042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
