At the end of the ninth century, the Cassinese monk Erchempert composed a chronicle about this period that blamed the southern Lombard leaders for the terrible crisis of southern Italy. It was Erchempert's desire that future generations could learn from the folly of their forbearers, and his chronicle has since become the most relevant source for southern Italy between the 770s and the 880s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will appeal to scholars and students of chronicles, Lombards, Franks, Byzantines, and Muslims in early medieval Italy, as well as all those interested in medieval Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luigi Andrea Berto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367710498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367710491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Luigi Andrea Berto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086544449791,"sku":"9780367710491","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d10232b3-a467-4725-aae8-05a81263edc8.jpg?v=1769095284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-little-history-of-the-luigi-andrea-berto-9780367710491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
