(James Joseph) The Thirteenth, Greatest of Centuries The 13th, Greatest of Centuries Produced by Don Kostuch "The Thirteenth, Greatest of Centuries" by James J. Walsh is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book argues for the significance of the 13th century as a pivotal period in human history, highlighting its contributions to education, art, architecture, and the foundations of modern democracy and social liberties. Walsh contends that this century was marked by remarkable achievements that set the stage for future advancements. At the start of the book, the author introduces his thesis that the 13th century was indeed the greatest of centuries, supported by the monumental achievements such as the creation of Gothic cathedrals, the establishment of universities, and the signing of the Magna Carta. He outlines the influential figures of the time, including notable rulers, church leaders, and scholars like St. Thomas Aquinas and Dante, underlining how their contributions shaped societal norms and intellectual thought. Walsh sets out to argue that the advancements made during this time in various fields—many of which served as precursors for modern society—merit deeper appreciation and acknowledgment in historical discourse.
