Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-19 00:00:00 Shalon Collins I must read this with the book's suggested history book. I'm a sucker for sourcebooks and this one is exquisite in the samples provided. It seems like a 1st or 2nd year undergraduate level book. Reading the Middle Ages was designed to be read with A Short History of the Middle Ages The timelines and resources on their website give a fabulous overview of the book's contents. The timelines are offered in PDF, printer friendly format. What's not to love about that? :) Sadly, it's going back to my library, unread ... but only for now.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-08-06 00:00:00 Nathan Arcy This had a good smattering of different types of essays, documents, selections from religious and philosophical manuals, etc... and is a good way to get a feel for how people wrote things out or approached ideas from previous centuries. It was a bit dry, but then legal documents, bills of sale, etc... usually are.
