| Popis | The thread connecting seven essays of this book is the self-perception as a prism through which Milan could be read from the Late Antiquity to the high Middle Ages. On a long term, the medieval Milan has an exceptional development: under the episcopate of Ambrose, Milan was one of the capitals of the Roman Empire; later the city became an first-class ecclesiastical metropolis and a powerful city. Only rarely, however, such stratification – historical, cultural and material – has been investigated in a perspective of self-perception central to the medieval mentality. Especially for a city as Milan where tradition becomes guarantor of the key role that the capital of Lombardy intends to take during the Middle Ages, the notion of the self-perception is of the high importance. |
