Book Description
Excerpt from Descriptive Guide of Mont Saint-Michel However, having respect to the old traditions which are to be taken into account it is interesting to call to mind some parts of Dom Jean Huynes's (1) writings, relating to the foundation of the primitive sanctuary erected by Saint-Aubert in honour of the archangel Saint-Michel, as well as the principal events which happened during the first period of the existence of the Abbey, i. e. from the beginning of the eighth to the end of the eleventh century. According to the author, Saint-Aubert, a bishop of Avranches erected, at the commencement of the eighth century a church in honour of Saint-Michel who had appeared to him several times in his dreams: ... In 708, Saint-Aubert who had overcome, with the help of God, all the difficulties attending the building of his church, and who knew the dimensions which the archangel Saint-Michel wished, worked at it himself. He did not build it magnificently nor with great art, but he gave it the form of a grotto wishing it to be like the church which the glorious Saint-Michel had dug himself in the rock of Mont-Gargan, and desiring to intimate by these means that God does not ask for splendour and magnificence in visible temples but from our hearts which are the temples of the Holy Spirit... After the consecration of the chapel on the sixteenth of October 709, Saint-Aubert founded the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel by establishing a college of twelve clerks or canons to celebrate divine service...

Book Description
The authors of Castrum to Castle trace the “evolution of defensive architecture at the turn of the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance.” —Old Barbed Wire Blog Across western Europe, the long tradition of castle-building took on its most sophisticated form in the later Medieval period and then, in response to the development of gunpowder weapons, it underwent a fundamental change—from castle to fortress. This, the second volume of a highly illustrated new study of medieval fortification, gives a fascinating insight into the last great age of castles and the centuries of violence and conflict they were part of. It traces the advances made between the twelfth and the fifteenth centuries, looking in particular at the form these fortifications took in contexts as different as Italy, Wales, France and the Iberian Peninsula. Many would regard this period in the history of castles as the classic age. It was followed by a phase of relative decline as the conditions of warfare changed and castles had to be adapted to cope with cannon. The conventional castle gave way to new styles of fortification. But, as the authors demonstrate, they were still essential factors in military calculations and campaigns—they were of direct strategic and tactical importance wherever there was an attempt to take or hold territory. “A fascinating treatise on the way such buildings were modified to provide protection from growing threats.” —Books Monthly
