Records of the Medieval Sword
Some people think Oakeshott's "Records" is a typology. This is not really the case (it lacks clear argumentation for transitional forms) - however, it is far more useful as a tool for classifying medieval swords than, say, Ada Brun Hoffmeier's work (which is a true typology). Some people think it is a catalog - it is not, it is an attempt to systematize medieval swords. At this it succeeds admireably. I might have critizised it for its lack of academic typological systematization, but Hoffmeyer DID use that and her work is not nearly half as useful.
