The Medieval Gift and the Classical Tradition: Ideals and the Performance of Generosity in Medieval England, 1100–1300 - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series

This interdisciplinary study explores how classical ideals of generosity influenced the writing and practice of gift giving in medieval Europe. Focusing on classical texts, such as those by Seneca the Younger and Cicero, Lars Kjær reveals how historians have underestimated the influence of classical literature and philosophy on medieval culture.
