сместил последнего императора западной
римской империи
ромула августу la ученые начинают отсчет
следующий за историей древнего мира
эпохи
она продолжалась тысячу лет большинство
современных ученых считают что
завершился этот период в конце 15 века
эта эпоха получила наименование средние
века
название это давние его придумали еще в
15 веке итальянские ученые гуманисты они
считали что наступает эра возрождение
классической культуры античности
восстановление забытых за тысячи лет
знаний традиций ценностей ученые 15 века
полагали что ничего достойного внимания
во времена отделявший и их от античности
не происходило
что это были темные времена упадка и
варварства и они снисходительно назвали
это тысячелетие средним векам
промежутком между античностью и
нарождавшейся новым временем
отчасти гуманисты были правы пришли в
упадок древние города и дороги
античная культура была почти забыто и и
наследие целенаправленно уничтожал с
религиозными фанатиками жестоко
преследовалось свобода мысли пылали
костры инквизиции на которых сжигали
еретиков так называли людей не согласных
с официальным учениям церкви
благородные рыцари то и дело вы его
или друг с другом грабили притесняли и
убивали простых людей но с другой
стороны
гуманисты были неправы средние века
обладают богатейшей историей они оказали
значительное воздействие на формирование
человеческой культуры
той цивилизации которые принадлежим и мы
с вами в средних веках берут начало
языки на которых говорят народы
современной европы
именно тогда определились границы
современных европейских государств и
возникли многие города появились
парламент и
и суды присяжных были приняты законы и
по сей день действующие в европейских
странах
написано множество научных трактатов по
медицине математике и химии
были изобретены ножницы и пуговицы
компас и механические часы порох и
книгопечатание появились первые
университеты построены прекрасные соборы
в эти годы были созданы произведение
искусства и литературы до сих пор
волнующий умы людей
исландские саги песнь о роланде поэма о
тристане и изольде легенды о короле
артуре
средневековое понятие о рыцарской чести
и достоинстве до сих пор остаются
образцом для подражания
словом средние века как и любую другую
эпоху в истории человечества нельзя
оценивать однозначно
в те времена было много и плохого и
хорошего вот только скучными и
неинтересными средние века назвать никак
нельзя а название данные учеными 15 века
прижилось огромный тысячелетней отрезок
человеческой истории начинающийся с
падение западной римской империи и
заканчивающийся великими географическими
открытиями так с тех пор и называется
средними веками
откуда ученые узнают что происходило в
средние века
об этом им рассказывают исторические
источники
свидетельство давно прошедших событий
источники как вы помните могут быть
вещественными и письменными
вещественными источниками называют
предметы которые были произведены людьми
и сохранились до наших дней
это орудие труда оружие одежда посуды
мебель постройки письменные источники
это произведение литературы законы
письма различные документы
особый интерес представляют хроники
записи которые велись людьми
средневековья обычно монахами специально
для потомков
в этих записях подробно с указанием
годов описываются происшедшие события
коронации и смерти королей начала войн и
подписание мирных договоров необычайные
природные явления
но в хрониках отмечались только события
которые казались важными их составителем
а историков интересуют и многие другие
вещи которые люди средневековья могли
просто не замечать потому что они
окружали их постоянно были частью их
повседневной жизни как люди проводили
время
что они думали об окружающем их мире во
что одевались
на эти и множество других вопросов
хроники ответа дать не могут вот и
приходится историком тщательно изучать
не только хроники но и частные письма и
завещание и торговые контракты и отчеты
управляющих монастырей или феодальных
имений для понимания образа мысли людей
их представление об окружающем мире
очень важны легенды мифы произведения
литературы и искусства
средние века отстоят от нас во времени
не так далеко как времена древних
государств поэтому и источников по
средним векам сохранилось больше и
сведение в них содержатся более
подробные чем в источниках по истории
древнего мира на основании их изучение
сравнение сопоставления ученые
составляют целостную картину мира
средневековья
средневековой цивилизации эта
цивилизация
выросла из двух предшествовавших ей
античной и варварской
она вобрала преобразовала развела многие
их достижения эта цивилизация была
христианской видео основе лежали
ценности проповедуемые христианской
церковью эта цивилизация очень сильно
отличалась от нашей
мы часто не можем понять почему люди в
средневековье поступали так а не иначе
что руководила их делами и тем не менее
цивилизация средних веков лежит в основе
нашей современной цивилизации поэтому
эпоха средневековья уже давно привлекает
внимание и ученых и простых людей знать
