La 4e de couv. indique : "During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, games were not
an idle pastime, but were in fact important tools for exploring, transmitting, enhancing,
subverting, and challenging social practices and their rules. Their study, through
both visual and material sources, offers a unique insight into medieval and early
modern gaming culture, shedding light not only on why, where, when, with whom and
in what conditions and circumstances people played games, but also on the variety
of interpretations that they had of games and play. Representations of games, and
of artefacts associated with games, also often served to communicate complex ideas
on topics that ranged from war to love, and from politics to theology. This volume
offers a particular focus onto the type of games that required little or no physical
exertion and that, consequently, all people could enjoy, regardless of age, gender,
status, occupation, or religion. The representations and artefacts discussed here
by contributors, who come from varied disciplines including history, literary studies,
art history, and archaeology, cover a wide geographical and chronological range, from
Spain to Scandinavia to the Ottoman Turkey and from the early medieval period to the
seventeenth century and beyond. Far from offering the ?last word? on the subject,
it is hoped that this volume will encourage further studies."
