Five Medieval Chronicles that you can read translated online Page from the Nuremberg Chronicle We have come across many translated medieval sources through our online wanderings. Most medievalists will know about the larger databases of texts, such as the Internet Medieval Sourcebook and De Re Militari. However, there are a lot of sources that are not widely known, including these five chronicles from the Middle Ages. Cassiodorus’ Chronicle Cassiodorus, the 6th-century Roman statesman and administrator for the Ostrogothic Kingdom, is also considered to be one of the most important writers of the early Middle Ages. The Chronicle of Herman of Reichenau, 1039-54 This is one of several texts that Graham Loud at the University of Leeds has translated and made available online. The Chronicle of the 24 Ministers General This work by Arnald of Sarrant presents a history of the Franciscan order from its founding by Saint Francis of Assisi to the year 1378. The Nuremberg Chronicle The Pskov 3rd Chronicle
Strabo, Geography, NOTICE. THE present translation of Strabo, the great Geographer of Antiquity, is the first which has been laid before the English public. It is curious that a classic of so much renown and intrinsic value should have remained a comparatively sealed book to this country for so many centuries; yet such is the fact. It is true that the imperfect state of the Greek text, and the difficulty of geographical identification, have always been appalling obstacles; yet, after the acute and valuable labours of Gossellin, Du Theil, Groskurd, and especially of Gustav Cramer of Berlin, (whose text is followed in the present volume,) we might fairly have expected that some English scholar would have ventured to enter the field. But the task, like many in a similar position, has been reserved for the publisher of the Classical Library, and he trusts it will be found conscientiously fulfilled. The translation was, in the first instance, intrusted to Mr. This is all it seems necessary to state here.

Ars Edendi - A Full Lectionary Project leader: Brian Møller Jensen Books used for the recitation of lessons in the Divine Office may appropriately be classified as liturgical texts. Although these naturally were very widespread in the Middle Ages, only a limited number of such manuscripts have been preserved, mostly in different local versions. In such a case, a viable scholarly alternative to producing a critical edition is to offer access to a modified diplomatic edition of a complete collection of lessons. Such an edition will provide scholars with an instrument for further studies in various fields of medieval research as the Latin language and literature, biblical exegesis, liturgy, theology, hagiography, the history of ideas, and Latin translations of Greek texts. Q. Can I Print My Own Text and Rebind Along With a Bible? Posted by J. Mark Bertrand on Friday, September 17, 2010 · 25 Comments I received an interesting question from Father Robert Lyons that touches on two of my dreams: (1) using self-publishing technology to print your own text blocks and (2) rebinding supplemental texts under the same cover as a Bible. A lot of people wonder about the practicality of this, so here's the question followed by my attempt at an answer: Q. I am writing today because I am working on a project to produce a Liturgy book for our local congregation. Let's start by unpacking the problem a little bit. The problem starts when you try to specify paper stock. So before a project like this will be viable, someone will have to offer digital printing on appropriate paper with a sewn binding. The next step is binding the supplemental text block with the pre-existing one. I suspect that, given the current state of digital printing, the most elegant solution is to stop where you're at. Am I right about this?
