Readings in Medieval History
Fourth Edition
Edited by Patrick J. Geary
In this new edition of his enormously popular
collection of medieval documents, Patrick J. Geary
has incorporated more bibliographical information
into the introductions to the readings. Five texts
have been added to better reflect legal, religious,
Polish, and women’s history. A glossary is provided
to help with unfamiliar terms, and secondary
readings about the primary sources are listed.
As before, four principles guide the selection of
primary sources: entire documents are provided rather
than snippets; texts are grouped so that individual
documents relate to one another; documents chosen
have been the subject of significant scholarship; and
raw material for many types of historical investigations
(political, social, cultural) is provided.
Patrick J. Geary is a professor in the Department of
History at the University of California, Los Angeles.
‘Readings in Medieval History is probably the best
collection of primary source readings available.’

A Short History of the Middle Ages
Third Edition
Barbara H. Rosenwein
Beautifully written and exquisitely illustrated, A
Short History of the Middle Ages provides an ideal
introduction to medieval history. Famous for its
integration of culture, politics, art, economics, and
social issues throughout its lively narrative, this textbook
is also unique for its survey of European
history both on its own terms and in the context of
the Islamic world and the Byzantine, Mongol, and
Ottoman empires. The third edition takes into
account recent historical and archaeological findings
and interpretations.
Barbara H. Rosenwein is a professor in the Department
of History at Loyola University Chicago.
‘Elegantly written and beautifully produced,
Rosenwein’s A Short History of the Middle Ages is a
treat for teachers and students alike.’
