There's a distinct lack of news today, at least as of 1:30 in the afternoon. So, it's time for another website recommendation.

The Internet Medieval Sourcebook
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook.html
This site is made up of translations of the original source texts. As said translations are taken from the public domain, they are not the newest translations, but still good. Translations at the Medieval Sourcebook date from a range. Examples for different documents include 1917 and 1890. Very often, the site links to other full-text sites and universities.

The site is broken down into several sections:
- Selected Sources
- Full Text Sources
- Saints Lives

And, it's also set up by region or by time period.

My first introduction to the site was when one of my college teachers used it for one of the course textbooks. As a result, I tend to assume good things about all of the Sourcebooks on the site. I still use it for references and recommend it to others.

The fact that it's hosted by Fordham University is, in my mind another way to assume it's reliability.
