La caída del imperio romano

El Breviari de Martí d'Aragó és una de les obres més atractives del període baixmedieval en la Corona d'Aragó. El seu estudi es revela com una tasca fonamental per a comprendre l’aparició i la difusió del gòtic internacional en dos zones geogràfiques concretes: el Principat de Catalunya i el regne de València.

This kaleidoscopic book covers almost 3,000 years of Arab history and shines a light on the footloose Arab people and tribes who conquered lands and disseminated their language and culture over vast distances. Tracing this process to the origins of the Arabic language, rather than the advent of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith begins his narrative more than a thousand years before Muhammad and focuses on how Arabic, both spoken and written, has functioned as a vital source...
