3rd Edition — University of Toronto Press, 2018. — 344 p.The third edition of Reading the Middle Ages retains the strengths of previous editions - thematic and geographical diversity, clear and informative introductions, and close integration with A Short History of the Middle Ages - and adds significant new materials, especially on the Byzantine and Islamic worlds and the Mediterranean region. This volume spans the period c. 900 to c. 1500. The stunning "Reading through Looking" color insert, which showcases medieval artifacts, has been expanded to include essays on weapons and warfare by medievalist Riccardo Cristiani.
