Wonder and Skepticism in the Middle Ages

By: Keagan Brewer

Wonder and Skepticism in the Middle Ages explores the response by medieval society to tales of marvels and the supernatural, which ranged from firm belief to outright rejection, and asks why the believers believed, and why the skeptical disbelieved. Despite living in a world whose structures more often than not supported belief, there were still a great many who disbelieved, most notably scholastic philosophers who began a polemical programme against belief in marvels. Keagan Brewer reevaluates the Middle Ages’ reputation as an era of credulity by considering the evidence for incidences of marvels, miracles and the supernatural and demonstrating the reasons people did and did not believe in such things. Using an array of contemporary sources, he shows that medieval responders sought evidence in the commonality of a report, similarity of one event to another, theological explanations and from people with status to show that those who believed in marvels and miracles did so only because the wonders had passed evidentiary testing. In particular, he examines both emotional and rational reactions to wondrous phenomena, and why some were readily accepted and others rejected. This book is an important contribution to the history of emotions and belief in the Middle Ages.

The Conquest of the Holy Land by Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn

A critical edition and translation of the anonymous Libellus de expugnatione Terrae Sanctae per Saladinum

By: Keagan Brewer,James Kane

The Libellus de expugnatione Terrae Sanctae per Saladinum (or Little Book about the Conquest of the Holy Land by Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn) is the most substantial contemporary Latin account of the conquest of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1187. Seemingly written by a churchman who was in Jerusalem itself when the city was besieged and captured, the Libellus fuses historical narrative and biblical exegesis in an attempt to recount and interpret the loss of the Holy Land, an event that provoked an outpouring of grief throughout western Christendom and sparked the Third Crusade. This book provides an English translation of the Libellus accompanied by a new, comprehensive critical edition of the Latin text and a detailed study in the introduction.

Story of a Viennese Night

By: Keagan P. Wyatt

The second work by Author Keagan Wyatt, A Night in Vienna is just another example of how Mr. Wyatt can describe all the aspect of life in all its most ugly, and beautiful, aspects while still retaining a poetic prose. A Night in Vienna follows the protagonist, William Stoker, an erudite American, and his three friends through a night on the town. While they enjoy their time out they decide to exchange stories. These stories are their most personal of love, sex, and broken hearts.
