INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The following outline is intended as a guide for the study
of the course in Medieval European History, which is usually
offered for the Freshman and Sophomore classes in history.
This study is designed as an aid to college teaching. It is in
tended to aid the teacher as well as the student and it may
serve as a guide for the general reader.
The references are divided into the required and the op
tional. All students should read the required texts and the
optional may or may not be assigned as the Instructor may
choose. It may be seen at a glance that the references are
not exhaustive. The average college with its large classes
in the first two years of the course is limited in the number of
books on European History, which may be made available for
class use. The bibliography and the references have been
prepared, therefore with the average school library in view.
The more detailed references for investigators may be obtain
ed from:
Gross—Sources and Literature of English History from the
Earliest Times to about 1485.
Monod—Bibliography de l'Histoire de France.
Dahlman-Waitz—Quellenkunde der Deutchen Geschichte.
Each student is expected to secure a copy of Lynn, Thorn
dike, A History of Medieval Europe. J. H. Robinson’s Read
ings in European History, 2 Vols. will also prove of great value.
