Fully updated and revised, this edition of a classic medieval source collection features:
Clear modern English translations, based on the best available critical editions, of more than 116 documentary sources—more than any other book of its kind
Thirty-four artifactual sources ranging from fine art to everyday items
A broad topical, geographical, and chronological approach, including textual and artifactual selections that shed light on such often-overlooked cohorts as women, Jews in Christian Europe, Byzantium, and Islam
Introductions and notes setting each source in its historical context
