“I am delighted that <i>The Medieval Record</i>—a book I used successfully in my medieval history survey over many semesters—is getting a new lease on life. The color illustrations are wonderful, and the new documents are translated beautifully into modern English.<br />      "I like that this collection includes many sources not available in other readers, which tend to bundle the same old bunch of traditional sources (in varying translations from different translators). I like the very thoughtful introduction, which helps students think about historical documents and how to ‘do’ history when they read them. I especially appreciate the Topical Contents feature in the front matter—this is very helpful in guiding students to writing assignments.”<br /> —John Contreni, emeritus, Purdue University

Fully updated and revised, this edition of a classic medieval source collection features:
  • Clear modern English translations, based on the best available critical editions, of more than 116 documentary sources—more than any other book of its kind
  • Thirty-four artifactual sources ranging from fine art to everyday items
  • A broad topical, geographical, and chronological approach, including textual and artifactual selections that shed light on such often-overlooked cohorts as women, Jews in Christian Europe, Byzantium, and Islam, and that range in time from the second century to 1493
  • Introductions and notes setting each source in its historical context
  • A detailed Student's Guide providing step-by-step instruction on how to analyze documentary and artifactual sources
  • Numerous illustrations in each chapter
  • Topical Contents and a Glossary to assist students in their research
