The Face of Evening and Morning
Franz Altheim
Franz Altheim was a historian and philologist who conducted research for the Ahnenerbe on the subject of runes and ancient European history. The present work goes beyond mere historical narrative to investigate the decline of an old world order and the rise of a new one in the transition from antiquity to the middle ages. Through his brilliant scholarly analysis of this fascinating era, Altheim seeks to draw standards for the present from the historical developments of the past.
