All of the texts date from the Middle Ages (ca. A.D. 500-1500) and originated in Europe or North Africa. They were written in Latin or in one of the various vernacular languages of the period: Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, and Welsh are all represented. All of the texts are of lasting value in understanding medieval culture. Grapevine Publishing Services of Madison, Wisconsin, will produce searchable digital ditions of these works.
