Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book presents the life, works, and times of Ordericus Vitalis, a medieval monk and chronicler whose writings offer invaluable insights into the 11th and 12th centuries. The author explores Ordericus's formative experiences at the Abbey of St. Evroult, a renowned center of learning and culture. Through a detailed analysis of Ordericus's major work, The Ecclesiastical History, the book delves into the political, religious, and social landscape of Normandy and England during a pivotal period of transformation. It examines Ordericus's approach to historical narrative, his sources of information, and his unique perspective on the events he witnessed. The author also discusses the decline of Ordericus's work into obscurity and its remarkable rediscovery in the 19th century. By shedding light on Ordericus's life and examining the depth of his writings, this book provides a fresh perspective on the role of monastic chroniclers in preserving historical knowledge and shaping our understanding of the medieval world.
