Guns and Men in Medieval Europe, 1200-1500: Studies in Military History and Technology (Variorum Collected Studies) - Hardcover
Synopsis
These articles are devoted to the two main aspects of medieval warfare: men and technology. Men fought, led, and ultimately killed in war, while the technology that they used facilitated these tasks. The first group of essays highlights human strengths in the fighting of medieval wars, with a focus on events of the 14th and 15th centuries, specifically the Anglo-French wars and wars against the Turks. A second group addresses the technological side of warfare, in particular the advent and proliferation of early gunpowder weapons which evolved rapidly during the late Middle Ages, although never replacing the role of men. The articles study various facets of this evolution, from the increased use and effectiveness of guns in battles, sieges, and naval warfare, to changes in their science and metallurgy, surgical treatment of wounds caused by them, and governmental centralization of the technology.

Kelly DeVries, Loyola College in Maryland, USA
Review
'Variorum [...] has made a signal contribution [...] by publishing the collected articles of DeVries...' Choice 'DeVries is amazingly prolific... DeVries, unlike so many specialists, especially specialists in the history of technology, is not carried away by the lure of his own specialism and has a clear understanding of the complexity of historical causation. This is really what makes this collection worthwhile.' Military History '... a fascinating collection... the whole is illuminating and thought-provoking. This volume belongs in the library of every university where medieval history is taught.' Technology and Culture '... it is extremely helpful to have the convenience of the assembled essays of prominent scholars.' The Ricardian
