Europe in the middle ages - Ch. 9 & Ch. 10
In western Europe, the centuries between 476 and 1300 saw both the decline of European classical civilization and the birth of a new European civilization. Beginning in the fifth century, barbarian invasions separated western Europe culturally from its classical past. Although some important works and concepts survived from antiquity, and the Christian church preserved major features of Roman government, the West would be recovering its classical heritage for centuries in "renaissances" that stretched into the sixteenth century. Out of the mixture of barbarian and surviving classical culture, a distinct Western culture was born.
