HIST 335: Crusades: Contact and Conflict in the Mediterranean World: Primary Sources

Primary Sources Published in Books

Many useful primary sources will be collected in print or ebook compilations, with several texts or images on a related topic collected in a single volume. Christian Society and the Crusades, 1198-1229 : Sources in Translation, Including the Capture of Damietta by Oliver of Paderborn is an example of such a volume. 

Summon indexes the full text of some (but not all) of our print sources. Therefore it can be useful to combine a subject search for subject headings associated with primary sources with a keyword search for more specific concepts (especially if OBIS indicates that we have many books with a particular subject heading).
