"A wonderful compilation of powerful readings selected and most importantly, organized by the famous Medieval scholar Norman F. Cantor. He has selected most of the obvious and famous cuttings (Becket's murder, Abelard's travail, the trial of the Templars, etc). But he has organized and collated all the readings into a systematic anachronistic whole. One does not have to consult the index or a chronology to find out about scutage and discover that it is in twenty different places. The organization of the work makes it a joy to use and the selection is the fruit of his life as a leading scholar in his field."
"Fascinating primary source material about the Middle Ages, collected and edited for people like me who don't have the patience or education to wade through entire texts of this stuff.
Norman Cantor is my go-to author on the Middle Ages!"
