читать дальшеThe Archeology of Weapons:
Arms and Armour from Prehistory to the Age of Chivalry
Oakeshott's first book. First published in 1960, this book can still be considered a benchmark in the field of arms study, covering the history of the sword from the Bronze Age through the late Middle Ages. It is in this book that Oakeshott first laid down his typology of the medieval sword that has become an important modern reference. Contained within are desсriрtions of blade, guard, and pommel types that Oakeshott uses as defining characteristics in his typology. With 340 pages of text, this book also contains 32 black and white photographic plates, as well as many line drawings done by the author. Boydell Press. ISBN: 0486292886
The Sword in the Age of Chivalry
Oakeshott's follow-up to The Archeology of Weapons. First published in 1964, this book focuses specifically on the European knightly sword from 1050 AD to 1550 AD. As a more specific work, The Sword in the Age of Chivalry provides greater detail for and elaboration on the knightly sword and Oakeshott's typology of it. The book's 156 pages of text also contain important revisions of that typology. The 48 black and white photographic plates provide a broad range of visual reference material. Boydell Press. ISBN: 0851157157
Records of the Medieval Sword
First published in 1991, this book can be seen as a follow-up of The Sword in the Age of Chivalry. While it does contain some informational text (of particular interest are the appendices that contain important analysis of two medieval swords), the book is primarily a photographic guide to Oakeshott's typology. Its 306 pages provide black and white photographic documentation of swords that the author felt were important examples of their various types. Again included is a brief overview of Oakeshott's blade and hilt categorizations. Boydell Press. ISBN: 0851155669
European Weapons and Armour:
From the Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution
Last published in 2000, this book can be seen as the conclusion of Oakeshott's series on the development of the European sword. Its 288 pages outline the development of the European sword from the late Middle Ages, through the renaissance, and into the industrial revolution. The book provides a brief outline of the development of the sword's hilt, from the cruciform hilt of the medieval period to the compound-hilt rapier and basket-hilt. It also contains numerous line drawings and shadow illustrations of the development of European armour. Boydell Press. ISBN: 0851157890
Sword in Hand
Published in 2000 by Arms & Armor of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This book is a compilation of articles that were first published in Gun Report Magazine. The book's 145 pages contain many black and white photographs that illustrate swords from the migration period, Viking Age, and Middle Ages. While the photographs may have been featured in previous works, they have been digitally enhanced here for greater clarity. As quoted, the text provides "A brief survey of the knightly sword". Arms & Armor, Inc. ISBN: 0971437904
A Knight and His Weapons
First published in 1964 with a second printing in 1997. This is one of several books Oakeshott wrote for a young audience. Its 124 pages outline most of the weapons used by the medieval knight, as well as early firearms. Filled with many line illustrations drawn by the author. Dufour Editions. ISBN: 0802312993
A Knight and His Armor
Last published and revised in 1999. Another of Oakeshott's books written as a primer for a younger audience, this book's 122 pages describe the armour of the medieval knight. It also works towards dispelling many of the myths associated with the subject, such as the notion that a knight's armour was clumsy and heavy, etc. Numerous illustrations by the author. Dufour Editions. ISBN: 0802313299
A Knight and His Horse
First published in 1962, 2nd edition published in 1995. Yet another installment in Oakeshott's A Knight... series. Equestrian training and equipping are discussed, as well as the importance of the horse to its rider. Medieval cavalry tactics and methods are broadly outlined. Dufour Editions. ISBN: 0802312977
A Knight in Battle
Published for the second time in 1998. This book's 128 pages outline four important medieval battles. Oakeshott uses these incidents as background for describing a knight's behavior, motivations, and equipment in the combat of the day. Dufour Editions. ISBN: 0802313221
A Knight and His Castle
First published in 1965, with a second edition printed in 1996, this book outlines the architecture and development of the medieval Castle. Why the Castle was important to the knight, as well as its strategic importance as a base of power is also discussed. Dufour Editions. ISBN: 0802312942
Swords of the Viking Age by Ian Peirce, with an introduction by Ewart Oakeshott
Published in 2002, this is one of the most important books written in the field of arms study and certainly the most important work on Viking swords written in the last half-century. Similar in outline to Oakeshott's Records of the Medieval Sword, this book's 152 pages provide a photographic outline for the typology and development of the Viking Age sword. Included are the typologies as developed by Jan Petersen, R.E.M. Wheeler, and Alfred Geibig. Oakeshott's introduction reprises his early writings on the Viking Age sword in The Archaeology of Weapons and The Gun Report Magazine. Boydell Press. ISBN: 0802312942
The Sword in Anglo-Saxon England by Hilda Ellis Davidson, illustrated by Ewart Oakeshott
Published in 1962, this important work on the development of the sword in pre-medieval England contains many illustrations created by Oakeshott specifically for this book. 225 pages of text and black and white photographs. Boydell & Brewer. ISBN: 0851153550
