Like our earlier lists, this revised selection has been drawn from works written in or translated into English; wherever possible, the best paperback edition of both older and newer editions has been indicated. In general, individual sources or books devoted to individuals, as well as textbooks and studies of strictly national scope have rarely been included. For reasons of space, bibliographical references have been restricted, in general, to the publisher, commercial or academic, and the date of publication or reprint. Paperback editions are indicated by the letter p.
Among works of reference, the New Cambridge Medieval History will replace its predecessor, now out of print. Of the seven projected volumes (Volume IV is to be divided into two parts) only Volume II, (c. 700—900), edited by Rosamond McKitterick, has been published (1996). The first three volumes of the Cambridge Economic History, all now candidates for revision, deal with the middle ages. Especially active in the production of works devoted to large aspects of medieval society, the Cambridge University Press publishes such collaborative series as the Cambridge Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Music. Another important collaborative series is A History of the Crusades, edited by Kenneth M. Setton of which all six volumes have now been published (University of Wisconsin Press, 1955—1990). A more encompassing series, the Medieval Academy Reprints for Teaching (MART), published by the University of Toronto Press, features books specially selected and is designed to keep in print the very best medieval scholarship, modestly priced for students. Placing the medieval world in its geographical contexts are several atlases, among them the New Penguin Atlas of Medieval History edited by Colin McEvedy (1992) and The Cambridge Atlas of Warfare: The Middle Ages, 768-1487 (1996).
Also available are several continuing series of medieval sources in translation, some accompanied by the original text such as the new series the Cambridge Medieval Classics, edited by Peter Dronke. Among the several published volumes are: Nine Medieval Latin Plays, edited and translated by Peter Dronke (1994) and Dante’s Monarchia, edited and translated by Prue Shaw (1995). Nelson’s Medieval Texts also includes original texts. The Penguin Classics series offers an extensive selection of medieval classics in new, complete translations, while the Paulist Press offers translations of medieval classics in its Classics of Western Spirituality.
