First words |
"If a man were called to fix the period in the history of the world," wrote Edward Gibbon in his monumental History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, "during which the condition of the human race was most happy and prosperous, he would without hesitation name that which elapsed from the death of Domitian to the accession of Commodus." Foreword: By the Middle Ages scholars generally understand the centuries which intervened between the decline of Rome and the year 1500 A.D. | |

Last words |
By 1500 when time ran out for the Middle Ages, Western Europe had attained in its universities, literature, art, learning, science, technology, expanding capitalism, and governmental institutions a level of cultural, political, and economic maturity no other part of the world, whether Islamic or Oriental, could match.
