Synopsis
During the Middle Ages, castles and other fortified buildings were a common feature of the European landscape. As central powers rose and fell, the insecurity of the time inspired a revival of fortification techniques first introduced in the Roman Empire. Despite limitations in construction techniques and manpower, medieval fortifications were continuously adapted to meet new political circumstances and weapons technology. Here is an illustrated guide to the architecture of medieval fortifications, from the first castles to the fortified cities of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. In hundreds of detailed and thoroughly researched pen-and-ink drawings, artist Jean-Denis G.G. Lepage introduces the reader to a heterogeneous group of buildings whose unique characteristics show the development and diversity of European medieval military architecture. Each drawing is accompanied by detailed text describing types of buildings (e.g., motte-and-bailey castles), built-in defenses (arrow slits, pepper-pot towers), and particular castles and cities (the Mont-Saint-Michel, the city of Jerusalem). Elements of medieval warfare and weaponry are also covered in drawings and text.

- t***o (2475)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaFirst off thank you for working a deal out with me on the price. Delivered in good time, magazine was wrapped in plastic, similar to saran wrap, then covered with cardboard, all four sides taped off with eBay scotch tape, then placed in a bubble wrapped bag that was sealed, then placed in an USPS shipping bag. Magazine is in pretty close to mint shape, if it was in its original delivery bag from MR, I would have been convinced that no one had read it. Thanks so much for taking good care of this.
