Civ IN- prep sheet for the Final Exam (early version)
Part I- Reading: Spielvogel Chapters 7-8 and 10-12.
Part II- Possible essays: I will select two of the following four questions for the final exam, and
you will be expected to answer one of them in an informative, well-organized essay.
1) “The collapse of the Roman Empire during the fifth century A.D. cast European society
and culture into a thousand-year ‘Dark Age,’ marked by the near-extinction of Western
civilization.” Do you agree or disagree? Why?
2) Does the papacy deserve its reputation as the single dominant institution of the Middle
Ages?
3) What do the Middle Ages teach us about the relationship between religious and political
authority?
4) Discuss the image of the Christian (Catholic) Church as a monolithic, unchanging
institution during the second half of the medieval period (i.e., 1000-1500 AD).
