This collection of eleven studies by colleagues and former students of František Šmahel, offers a series of close examinations of the details of everyday life in the Middle Ages—details that often elude both scholarly attention and the possibilities of research. Focusing on a variety of medieval settings, the individual contributions engage with these micro-level aspects while simultaneously drawing attention to the limitations of the surviving sources and to the constraints inherent in historical inquiry itself.
