Primary Sources

Primary sources make up the meat of historical research, being produced in the era itself or soon after. I have assembled a rudimentary list of sites with medieval texts, mostly in translation to English, though some sites retain the original language on its own or alongside translations. This page is in progress and lack of sources for a particular topic or language does not indicate disinterest on my part and is instead due to the resources I have at the time of the latest update.

The general list includes sites with a wide range of medieval documents. The second list, by language of origin, skews more literary than the others, hence subcategories of specific works and authors. The list of sources by region focuses on sources related to particular countries/cultures, and the fourth list is organized topically.
