Binding is tight and square. Pages clean and unmarked.Koziol's major monograph on the political and religious culture of tenth- and eleventh-century France, reconstructing the rituals of supplication (the language and gestures of prayer used to address God and earthly lords alike) and arguing that these "most commonplace of all early medieval rituals" carried the dense political meaning of an age in which lords claimed to rule by the grace of God. Drawing on a remarkable range of sources and engaging ethnological studies, Koziol shows that supplication accurately reflected the complexities and paradoxes in contemporary attitudes toward friendship, enmity, and political authority, and that the rituals adapted to the realities of different political and social communities across northern and western France. A standard reference in the historiography of medieval ritual and Capetian-era political culture.

Crisp and unmarked in full cloth binding. xxiii, 459pp. Dust jacket has been laminated, and slid over the boards. -- In medieval cultures, "supplication" was simply the act of prayer, an act that required a distinctive language of entreaty accompanied gestures of humility, such as kneeling and prostration. Koziol shows that in tenth- and eleventh-century France, prayer was an act of political honor as well as religious devotion, since the language and gestures of prayer were used to address not only God but also earthly lords who claimed to rule "by the grace of God."

Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. In reconstructing and interpreting rituals of supplication, Geoffrey Koziol here uncovers the dense meanings of these most commonplace of all early medieval rituals. The author casts a wide net, comparing these rituals in several regions of northern and western France to illuminate the complex changes in social relations and political power in the tenth and eleventh centuries.In medieval cultures, "supplication" was simply the act of prayer, an act that required a distinctive language of entreaty accompanied gestures of humility, such as kneeling and prostration. Koziol shows that in tenth- and eleventh-century France, prayer was an act of political honor as well as religious devotion, since the language and gestures of prayer were used to address not only God but also earthly lords who claimed to rule "by the grace of God."Making subtle use of ethnological studies and using a remarkable range of sources, Koziol demonstrates that supplication accurately reflected the complexities and paradoxes in contemporary attitudes toward friendship, enmity, and political authority. And in documenting their regional variations, he shows that the rituals of supplication, far from being routinized gestures insensitive to context, remained culturally meaningful by adapting to the realities of different political and social communities. Original and richly interdisciplinary, Begging Pardon and Favor is a major contribution to our understanding of medieval political and religious culture.Publisher's cloth.
