Medieval Studies
Translations into English
Systematic bibliography of editions of Latin texts including translations is found in:
Many other reference sources are listed in Authors & Texts.
On the Web: The
ORB Library, is an alphabetical list of medieval
authors and texts (most are English translations). This
site includes the Internet Medieval Sourcebook, "comprising public domain and copy-permitted texts.
The problem with many of the Internet available texts
is that they are too bulky for classroom assignment.
For instance, all of Pope Gregory I's letters are available,
but in one 500 page document. The Sourcebook then is
in two parts. The first is made up of fairly short classroom
sized extracts, derived from public domain sources or
copy-permitted translations, the second is composed
of the full documents, or WWW links to the full documents." Other sites are listed on SUL
medieval e-texts.
The World Catalog library
union catalog is also useful for identifying translations
published as monographs. Search on the author's name
and/or work's title (remembering there are uniform entries
used for many writers--and texts--but that these are
not always uniformly applied and that variants almost
always will be found) . Searching on an editor's name
if known plus title keywords is sometimes more efficient
because of the problem of variant forms of author/title entry.
Speculum (fulltext in JSTOR
except for recent five years), usually in its January
issue, has published since 1973 an annual list of editions
and translations in progress. Current year is shelved
in Current Periodicals Rm.
