Offers an explanation of the evolution of Europe from the time of Constantine to that of Charlemagne.

Presents the history of Europe in the Middle Ages. This book begins with the Barbarian and Musulman invasions in the fifth century AD, which signalled the end of the Roman world in the West, and ends in the middle of the sixteenth century with the Renaissance and the Reformation.

Remarkable classic that developed the revolutionary theory of how the advance and influence of Islam caused the Europe of the Roman Empire to evolve into the Europe of the Middle Ages. "An important...seminal book, worthy to close one of the most distinguished careers in European scholarship." -- "Saturday Review of Literature."
