Medieval Studies Websites

Hello! I'm writing a paper on internet resources for scholars of the Middle Ages and I want to make sure I don't leave out any big ones. (Though I have quite a long list already!) What sites have all of you found useful for scholarship, teaching, or personal enrichment?

I posted mine in this thread:

You probably know about this one already, but I have been in a number of classes that use the Fordham Internet Medieval Sourcebook: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook.html

I have a whole list on my Web site on the right-hand side under Medieval History Resources, adding them as I find them. I won't list them all here. A few include:

- The Anglo Saxon Chronicle (http://omacl.org/Anglo/)
- De Re Militari (http://www.deremilitari.org/resources.htm)
- The Labyrinth (http://labyrinth.georgetown.edu/)

The Medieval Sourcebook mentioned above is also very good. Hope that helps!

I'm not sure if this is relevant, as it's not a websource. Instead it's a source of books (if that makes sense)

One of my favourite bookstores recently set up a special website that focuses purely on books covering Medieval subjects. They gathered the book sources last year when working with a State Library exhibition on the subject and just announced the website this month.

The store is Reader's Feast in Melbourne, Australia.
LT local link is: http://www.librarything.com/venue/4136/Reader%27s-Feast-Bookstore
Their medieval book website is: http://www.medievalimagination.com/

Note: I did set up the LT local page when LT local came out, but have nothing to do with the bookstore apart from being a customer who recieves their quarterly members brochure of new titles (and then buying stuff).

Hope the booklist helps someone :-)

Although your paper is probably long done, do you know about the Medieval Review and online review of scholarly books. tmr@indiana.edu

Something I stumbled upon while googling, but perhaps you already know them:

It might be a bit early to point to this site as most of the work is pending... BUT, they plan to have Early English Laws online.

About us
Improving understanding of the evidence

The aims of the project are:

* To edit or re-edit and translate more than 150 early English legal texts and to provide each with introductions and full commentary on all aspects of the texts, language, and law.

* To transform the way in which these improved texts can be used by scholars;

* To provide a comprehensive resource on early law, including introductory essays on issues of law, language, archaeology, paleography, and codicology, descriptions of all manuscripts holding legal texts and used for this edition, glossaries in Old English, Latin, and Anglo-Norman, and a regularly updated bibliography and guide to the literature, with links to relevant philological and archaeological sites.

* By adding an ‘interactive collaborative component’ to the site, to allow interpretative contributions across the spectrum from professional scholars to interested users so that the laws will be better comprehended by subsequent users.

Also, as an aside... there's a 'nice' 13th Century castle for sale. Cheap.

Why don't you come and have a look at my website on Frederick II? You are most welcome at: www.stupormundi.net

I'll throw this ongoing project out there - you'll need French to work through it though I believe an English version is planned.

This project is designed to quantify all Latin Hagiography from 200 to 1500 by a variety of criteria including author, date of composition, geographic region, etc (not sure what the etc includes - I'd have to read up on it more - the last article I read on it's a year or so old). It won't include online texts, just characteristics which will help you find what you're looking for.

Frex, if you want to know what Augustine wrote and when the manuscript dates from (not the date of the original work - they're looking for the most reliable date of manuscript origin taking into account later revisions), you can go here: http://www.fundp.ac.be/philo_lettres/histoire/h2224_a.htm#Augustinus02
Eventually you should be able to cross-reference with other characteristics.

Still a work in progress but even now there's some info - Michel Trigalet has done a ton of work on this.
