Opis

Medieval Europe inherited from antiquity a rich and varied tradition of thought about the "ages of man". Scholars divided human life into three or four or six or seven ages and so related it to the larger orders of nature and history. Thus, for example, the seven ages were thought to correspond to and be governed by the seven planets. Burrows examines the expression and manifestation of these ideas in many medieval sources (eg sermons and Bible commentaries, moral and political treatises, encyclopaedias and lexicons, medical and astrological handbooks, didactic and courtly poems, tapestries, wall-paintings and stained-glass windows). He also considers some of the ways in which these ideas entered into the medieval writer's assessment of human behaviour.
