Book Description
Excerpt from An Illustrated History of Arms and Armour: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time All that can interest the archaeologist, the historian, the artist, the soldier, and even the ordinary observer, on the progressive march and the successive development of the arms of various nations in the past centuries, has been condensed in the first chapter of this book in the "Abridged History of Ancient Arms," of which several extracts, more or less modified, are to be seen as headings to the subdivisions, so as to spare the reader the trouble of looking through the whole history every time that he is desirous of information on only one point. It would have been useless to describe the historical development of each kind of arm, as these will be found in the different special chapters where these arms are described in chronologic order. This chronological system is found to be the best for a book which is destined to be at the same time a guide to the people at large, and a scientific encyclopaedia to collectors, for such repetitions as must inevitably result will contribute to facilitate study. In addition to this a special chapter describes the progressive march of the armourer's art, and gives all the armourers' signs and marks which it has been possible to collect; another chapter treats of the arms and alphabets which have been used in the tribunals of the free-judges (francs-juges). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Medieval Weapons
Author: Robert D. Smith
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
This fascinating reference covers the weapons and armor used by warriors from the 4th to the 15th century and discusses how and why they changed over time. In the Middle Ages, the lack of standardized weapons meant that one warrior's arms were often quite different from another's, even when they were fighting on the same side. And with few major technological advances in that period, the evolution of those weapons over the centuries was incremental. But evolve they ultimately did, bringing arms, armor, and siege weapons to the threshold of the modern era. From the fall of the Roman Empire to the beginnings of the Renaissance, Medieval Weapons: An Illustrated History of Their Impact covers the inexorable transformation from warrior in the mail shirt to fully armored knight, from the days of spears and swords to the large-scale adoption of the handgun. Medieval Weapons covers this fascinating expanse of centuries in chapters devoted to the early medieval, Carolingian, Crusade, and late medieval periods. Within each period, the book details how weapons and armor were developed, what weapons were used for different types of battles, and how weapons and armor both influenced, and were influenced by, changing tactics in battles and sieges.
