Philip Daileader – författare

In the fifteenth century, Renaissance humanists were not the only ones to think about time differently from previous generations. Time and Governance examines how and why late medieval townspeople - those who bought, sold, and manufactured for a living - reconceptualized time and applied their new understanding of it to politics and to economics. In doing so, this book reconstructs and analyses a place and time both unexpectedly familiar and deeply alien. Blending institutional history with the history of mentalities, Philip Daileader engages with issues of state building, finance, production, social conflict, national identity, and demography. He addresses the question of whether late medieval Europe deserves its often-grim reputation by recapturing and prioritizing the life experiences, thoughts, and opinions of those who lived then and there.

The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries were times of tumultuous change in medieval Europe; they witnessed the Black Death, the Great Papal Schism, heightened fears of the apocalypse, and the elimination of Spain's non-Christian population. Few figures were as widely and as intimately involved in late medieval Europe's struggles as Saint Vincent Ferrer. Perhaps the foremost preacher of his day, Ferrer spent the final two decades of his life traversing Europe, preparing the world for its imminent destruction. Saint Vincent Ferrer (d. 1419), His World and Life reassesses the controversial preacher's motives, methods, and impact, tracing Ferrer's journey from obscure logician to angel of the apocalypse, as he came to be known. At the same time, the book offers new insights into the depth and breadth of late medieval apocalyptic anticipation, and into the processes that ultimately led to the expulsions of Spain's Jews and Muslims.

Los siglos XIV y XV fueron tiempos de cambios tumultuosos en la Europa medieval; fueron testigos de la Peste Negra, del Gran Cisma de Occidente, de la agudización de los temores del Apocalipsis y de la eliminación de la población no cristiana de España. Pocas figuras estaban tan amplia e íntimamente involucradas en las luchas de la Europa medieval tardía como san Vicente Ferrer. Tal vez el predicador más importante de su época, Ferrer pasó las últimas dos décadas de su vida recorriendo Europa, preparando al mundo para su inminente destrucción. "San Vicente Ferrer, su mundo y su vida" reevalúa los motivos, métodos e impacto del controvertido predicador, trazando el viaje de Ferrer desde el oscuro lógico hasta el ángel del apocalipsis, como se le conocía. Además, el libro ofrece nuevas perspectivas sobre la profundidad y la amplitud de la anticipación apocalíptica medieval tardía, y sobre los procesos que finalmente condujeron a las expulsiones de judíos y musulmanes de España.
