Unknown Author

4.9/5 (28712 ratings)

Description:This edited volume follows the similarly conceived volume AD 536: The Years without Summer (2000, BAR). That volume was inhabited by scholars of the 20th century: this one faces the future with presentations by scholars of the 21st century. Seven graduate students at the University of Bologna in Italy attended a seminar organized by professors Massimo Montanari and Tiziana Lazzari and focused on a topic selected by themselves, the AD 536 Crisis. Their interests generally range around the margins of the Roman Empire where various writing systems appeared in the Late Antique and Early Medieval periods: Central Asia, Sweden, Ireland, Oman in the Arabian Peninsula, and three on the Byzantine Empire (climate, coinage and agricultural plow configurations and reconfigurations). Their deep dives into these topics yield updated summaries of research since 2000 and some surprises: the Latin word used to describe deaths at King Arthurs's Battle of Camlann (AD 537) generally refers to mortality from natural causes, possibly plague, rather than violence; records of repairs to the Great Dam in Oman, the Queen of Sheba's realm, were discontinue around AD 536, but for a mix of reasons, including the onset of an unpredictable rainy season no longer suitable for agriculture, and the rise of a nomadic, Islamic culture.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
