Internet Medieval Sourcebook

Secondary Sources

Editor: Paul Halsall

The Internet Medieval Sourcebook is located at the
Fordham University Center for Medieval Studies.


Guide to Contents

The Internet Medieval Sourcebook is mostly concerned with primary sources. This section links to secondary literature on the subjects covered by the source documents. The structure mirrors that of the Selected Sources collection.

You can browse through the entire list, or jump directly to the part that interests you by selecting the underlined links. Because of copyright law almost all these links are to older scholarship and the coverage of the middle ages is somewhat patchy. There will always be more modern secondary sources that researchers and students should consult. Some of the older scholarship still has value though, and often modern scholarship refers to it as a starting point for new discussions.

  • Saints' Lives will take you to the page on hagiography.
