The Bonds of Humanity corrects this ..." |

ISBN-13: 978-0-87220-488-1, ISBN: 0-87220-488-X "In the popular imagination, Western Europe during the Middle Ages is often equated with the 'Dark Ages', a period wherein culture and reason gave way to social disintegration and the excesses of mystical faith.
