This essayistic collective volume by Czech medievalists places the human figure at the centre of its inquiry into medieval Bohemia. Across twenty chapters, the reader is offered an in-depth introduction to the distinctive modes of thought and action characteristic of the most representative figures of medieval society, including the villager, burgher, diplomat, knight, lawyer, physician, chronicler, pilgrim, rural parish priest, prelate, and heretic.
The volume is complemented by rich visual material, which lends a vivid and tangible dimension to the individual social types of medieval Bohemians.
