"I am delighted that The Medieval Record -- a book I used successfully in my medieval history survey over many semesters -- is getting a new lease on life. The color illustrations are wonderful, and the new documents are translated beautifully into modern English. I like that this collection includes many sources not available in other readers, which tend to bundle the same old bunch of traditional sources (in varying translations from different translators). I like the very thoughtful introduction, which helps students think about historical documents and how to 'do' history when they read them. I especially appreciate the Topical Contents feature in the front matter -- this is very helpful in guiding students to writing assignments." -- John Contreni, emeritus, Purdue University
