"I am delighted that The Medieval Record-a book I used successfully in my medieval history survey over many semesters-is getting a new lease on life. The color illustrations are wonderful, and the new documents are translated beautifully into modern English."I like that this collection includes many sources not available in other readers, which tend to bundle the same old bunch of traditional sources (in varying translations from different translators). I like the very thoughtful introduction, which helps students think about historical documents and how to 'do' history when they read them. I especially appreciate the Topical Contents feature in the front matter-this is very helpful in guiding students to writing assignments."
