“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 I like the very thoughtful introduction, which helps students think about historical documents and how to ‘do’ history when they read them.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

"I am delighted that a new edition of <i>Medieval Record</i> has finally been published. I want to thank the author and Hackett Publishing. I have used the old version for years and still consider it the best text out there. This year I’ll use it as the primary book for my class; it will serve both lectures and labs/primary source work. What I appreciate about the book is that it teaches students to read primary sources critically, a skill they can apply to their lives. It teaches students how to <i>do</i> history, rather than just learn and memorize."<br /> —Joëlle Rollo Koster, University of Rhode Island
