Medieval and Renaissance Material Culture

Medieval and Renaissance Material Culture

These linkspages will direct you to information on a diverse array of topics relating to the material culture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance – not merely things, but occupations, clothing, animals, tools, eating-utensils … even suggestions for books which may help you learn more about such matters.

(Another section of the site covers clothing and material culture of the eighteenth century.)

You may also visit my blog or Facebook page, where you can read about new finds relating to the Middle Ages & Renaissance, as well as upcoming museum exhibitions all over the world which will feature pre-17th century artwork & artifacts.

The Avalon Project: Documents in Law, History and Diplomacy

URL: http://avalon.law.yale.edu

"The Avalon Project will mount digital documents relevant to the fields of Law, History, Economics, Politics, Diplomacy and Government. We do not intend to mount only static text but rather to add value to the text by linking to supporting documents expressly referred to in the body of the text.

The Avalon Project will no doubt contain controversial documents. Their inclusion does not indicate endorsement of their contents nor sympathy with the ideology, doctrines, or means employed by their authors. They are included for the sake of completeness and balance and because in many cases they are by our definition a supporting document."
