The Measure of Multitude : Population in Medieval Thought
The Measure of Multitude : Population in Medieval Thought
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This innovative study challenges the view that medieval thought was fundamentally abstract. He describes what medieval people 'thought' about population, studying the texts which contained their thought, and examining the medieval realities which shaped it, such as birth, birth-control,
sex-ratio, marriage ages, length of life, and the population of the Holy Land.
