Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a concise abridgment of Mangnall's Questions representing a simplified version of the original. The author attempts to make this seminal work more accessible to today's general public. The book is organized into 3 chronological sections: Ancient History, a distillation of the historical accounts found largely within the Old Testament, the New Testament and ancient Greek texts and legends; Medieval History, which encapsulates in most part the history of the Catholic Church and the temporal power of the Pope mixed with histories of English and French Monarchs; and Modern History, which focuses primarily on detailing more secular historical events across the globe. Notably, the author's abridgment includes an intriguing section devoted to mythology and one focused on heraldry, a unique element not found in the original Mangnall's Questions. This meticulously researched and well-written abridgment offers a rich exploration of world history in a style compelling to the modern reader.
