Abstract:
Offers insights into medieval society. This title recounts Guibert of Nogent's early years, monastic life, and the bloody uprising at Laon in 1112, lets us witness a world populated by royals, heretics, nuns, witches, and devils, and helps us to understand just how fervently he was preoccupied with sin, sexuality, the afterlife, and the dark arts.
