Is there a name for this type of medieval looking art?
any other artists like miura that try to emulate it?

Engraving, either woodblock, or metal. Back then, they didn't have lithography, so to make images like that in large amounts, they made woodblock carvings and made impressions with them with ink.
The kind of this kind of work is Albrect Durer. After him, Gustov Dore.
Contemporary artists, there are many - most cartooning came out of this kind of drawing, using line and crosshatching. Bernie Wrightson is one of the better modern practitioners of it.

I think this was just because it was so early on in his career. He did improve his art quality substantially as the years went on.

medieval cuckolding?

I think that's it.
I'm a complete beginner.
How do I learn to draw like this?
Do I have to study other styles first and then move to this, or can I just start learning it right away?
I have no interest in drawing other styles.

Before you can draw like this, you need to get your fundies down. Start out with reading all of Loomis books.

Thank you for the suggestion.
Yesterday I got "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain".
Do I read it before or after those books you suggested?
Or not at all?
Any one of them in particular I should start with?

If you want go totally medieval in your style then you don't really need Loomis. I'll give you a basic study plan:
Keys to Drawing
Perspective Made Easy
Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching videos
Rendering in Pen and Ink
After this study what you like (copy it, using the fundamentals that you learned, analyze what makes something good). I never read DRSB beyond doing that one exercise but I'd say it's optional

This art called crosshatching, i want to learn it the dürer way, or like the old masters draw humans etc.
It's called illumination. It was used on medieval manuscripts. Styles differ throughout the ages, but sun a search for "manuscript illumination" plus whichever century you're interested in and you will see some beautiful work.
