Europe was in the long slumber of the Middle Ages, the Roman Empire was in tatters, and the Greek language was all but forgotten, until a group of twelfth-century scholars rediscovered and translated the works of Aristotle.

The social history of this period has been studied intensively for years, but few brief, concrete, and comprehensive accounts of daily life in medieval Europe have appeared.
