Description:
Medieval Italy: Texts in Translation gathers together, for the first time in one volume, newly translated primary sources critical to the study of the Italian Middle Ages, ca. 1000-1400 C.E. What makes this volume unique, too, is its incorporation of the southern part of the peninsula and Sicily into a larger narrative of Italian history.
Review Quotes: "This collection of texts from throughout the Italian peninsula, translated from Latin, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, and even Spanish, and ranging in date from the eighth to the fifteenth centuries, is an ambitious undertaking, representing the full cultural diversity of medieval Italy, its islands and colonies. . . . A very rich and varied collection, long in the making, but well worth the wait."-- "Early Medieval Europe"
