| Summary: | This book purports to be the fullest treatment in any language of Rome's urban evolution across the full medieval millennium to appear in over forty years, since the publication, in 1980, of Richard Krautheimer's justly renowned Rome, Profile of a City, 312-1308. As such, it has a staggering amount of ground to cover, and needs to inform and (ideally) please a dauntingly wide range of prospective readers. It is a robust testament to the reach and quality of Krautheimer's book that it remains, even today, a standard resource for practicing scholars, for students and-one assumes-for that legendary and much sought-after beast in academic publishing circles, the "educated general reader." |
