 MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE STUDIES: Find Primary Resources

How do I find primary sources?

Q: I don't read Latin/Old High German/Medieval Arabic/etc.  How can I find sources in English?

A: You're in luck!  There are many resources in English right here in the library and online.  Click the links in the grey and white box for some of the larger ones.  To find even more, perhaps on a specific topic, try finding one by beginning at a more generalized topic. 

For example, I clicked on the link in the grey box for Medieval worlds: a sourcebook.  In SuperSearch, you can click on the details button (pictured below) and scroll to see the genre and subjects listed.  These subjects are clickable and may lead you to similar resources.  Try clicking on them to find more sources in translation!
