Women praying for their dead, monks creating and re-creating their archives, scribes choosing which royal families of the past to applaud and which to forget: it is from such sources that most of our knowledge of the medieval period comes. Throughout richly detailed descriptions of various acts of remembrance--including the naming of children and the recording of visions--the author unearths a wide range of approaches to preserving the past as it was or formulating the past that an individual or group prefers to imagine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51959542776096,"sku":"NEW0691026033","price":40.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/phantoms-of-remembrance-memory-and-oblivion-at-the-end-of-the-first-millenium-0691026033","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
