Description

The Last Judgment and the second coming of Jesus Christ were important elements in the medieval and early modern worldview. The powerful also used eschatological ideas to legitimize their rule. This volume inquires into the similarities and differences between the strategies employed by Eastern and Western European clerics to legitimize the rule in light of expectations about the end time, but also asks how they influenced each other.
