{"product_id":"piety-and-plague-franco-mormando-9781931112734","title":"Piety and Plague: From Byzantium to the Baroque","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlague was one of the enduring facts of everyday life on the European continent, from earliest antiquity through the first decades of the eighteenth century. It represents one of the most important influences on the development of Europe's society and culture. In order to understand the changing circumstances of the political, economic, ecclesiastical, artistic, and social history of that continent, it is important to understand epidemic disease and society's response to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo date, the largest portion of scholarship about plague has focused on its political, economic, demographic, and medical aspects. This interdisciplinary volume offers greater coverage of the religious and the psychological dimensions of plague and of European society's response to it through many centuries and over a wide geographical terrain, including Byzantium. This research draws extensively upon a wealth of primary sources, both printed and painted, and includes ample bibliographical reference to the most important secondary sources, providing much new insight into how generations of Europeans responded to this dread disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Franco Mormando\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1931112738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931112734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.34h x 7.19w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2007 pg. 87","brand":"Franco Mormando","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491696505087,"sku":"9781931112734","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efd3124c-cea8-4f38-bfdb-c1d2498326c6.jpg?v=1699452701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/piety-and-plague-franco-mormando-9781931112734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
