Our Library
Here is a list, by category, of some of the books we own. This list is
not complete; we will be adding to it as we have time. However, we have
indexed enough to be useful so we are putting it up.
A couple of caveats:
- Just because we own it does *not* mean it is a good, or useful book on
the subject. This is a listing of what we own, and not necessarily a
recommendation.
- Not everything will be on the middle ages or Renaissance. Most, but not
all. This is a listing of everything we own, and we are interested in more
than the middle ages and Renaissance.
- Some books will be on more than one list, since this is more or less by
subject, and some books fall under more than one subject.
- If you have any questions about any specific books, email
Jaelle and
ask. Reasonable questions will be answered.
- Check back every week or so, as we will be updating this list.
Eventually some of the lists will become annotated bibliographies, but
don't expect that to happen soon.
