Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Text-Book of Church History, Vol. 2: A. D. 726-1305
Tea sixteen years which have elapsed since the appearance of the Third Edition of the volume here presented to the public, have been so uncommonly rich in the production of materials, and in encouragement to further researches into this very period, that a new and thoroughly revised edition may well be expected from me. Traces will every where he found, that the volume here presented has undergone such revision. Thou gh the increase in the number of sheets is comparatively insignificant (this edition is only two sheets larger than the former), yet I have labored to find place for new matter, by curtailing, and by omitting much that was super?uous, particularly in the quotations. Two new paragraphs are added, 81. On Art employed in the service of the Church, and 82. On the Kalend-guilds. While I mention the latter, I can not forbear from expressing my surprise that, although in an altered form they are still so often met with in Northern Germany, they have never yet been made the subject of any gen eral historical description, entering into their origin and their char acter; great as is the number of accounts of separate Kalend guilds, which are mostly occupied with their external history.
