Death in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times The Material and Spiritual Conditions of the Culture of Death

"Gleichwohl liegt hier ein Kompendium vieler interessanter bekannter aber auch neuer Aspekte vor, das einen lebendigen Einblick in einen im persönlichen und öffentlichen Denken gern vernachlässigten Themenbereich bietet."

"This is the sixteenth volume in a series that has been a steady and significant contributor to key issues in scholarly thought. [...] This collection on death is a worthy addition to previous topics (which include such concepts as war, medicine, and sexuality). Without making claims to comprehensiveness (an impossible goal), the wide-ranging nature of this series highlights shared concepts within the long premodern era, and Death in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times takes its place as a valuable scholarly resource within this broader corpus."
