Medieval source material on the internet
Интернет-ресурсы Истории Средних Веков на английском
Paul Halsall's Internet
Medieval Sourcebook (Fordham University) provides an unparalleled list of
online medieval documents at different websites, from which many of those below
are taken. The list is worldwide in scope, and in addition to complete works
there are hundreds of individual extracts. The whole collection is searchable.
A large number of books available online are listed at the On-Line Books Page
(University of Pennsylvania)
Other online publishing projects covering the medieval period are:

The texts in this section are English translations or transcriptions unless
otherwise noted (I hope). I have listed them in three groups, alphabetically
arranged: the first, for works with named authors arranged by surname (or place
name) if any, otherwise by Christian name; the second for anonymous works
arranged by place name; and the third for anonymous works arranged by subject
matter.
