Divinity Reading Room Z6203 P25 1980 (LC) Reprint of original 1931 edition.
An important guide for the study of medieval history, based on courses taught by the author at the University of California. Part I consists of general works useful in medieval studies: bibilographies, reference works, aids to the study of history (e.g., books on diplomatics, heraldry, place-names), general historical works, and large collections of original sources. Many entries in this section have brief annotations. Parts II, "General History of the Middle Ages," and III, "Medieval Culture," consist of syllabi, subdivided into some 53 smaller topics, e.g. "Life of the Nobles in the Middle Ages," "Medieval Universities." For each topic, gives an outline, recommendations for reading, and a bibliography. English history is not treated fully, since Gross (see below) covers this field. To be used with Boyce (see below), which lists later studies. Old but still essential.

Bibliography, v.1-4; Index, v.5. Follows Paetow's classification as well as Paetow's practice of excluding material restricted to English history. Works listed in Paetow are not repeated, hence the section of collections of sources is brief. Largest sections are lists of studies grouped under "General History of the Middle Ages" and "Medieval Culture." The Table of Contents, pp.v-xiv, lists major headings in the classification scheme, while detailed headings are given in the "List of Subject Headings," pp.xlix-civ. Very valuable for its listings of modern studies, but must be used in conjunction with Paetow.

The standard retrospective bibliography for German history. Coverage in this 10th edition has been extended to 1945, listing works published through 1960. Includes virtually all German works of any importance (lesser ones are in small print). This edition (to be in 8 volumes) will include a greater number of non-German writings, but since numerous citations from the 9th edition [Subject Bibliography Z2236 D34 1931(LC)] are being dropped, the latter should be used in conjunction with it. The work as a whole is arranged in three sections: classified general section; aspects of German history arranged geographically; and chronologically arranged bibliography. No index as yet, but each volume has extremely detailed Table of Contents, and Vol. 1 has Table of Contents for the entire work. Medieval history appears in sections 163-274.

The principal current bibliography for German history, at first annual but later biennial. Arranged by classification scheme; earlier volumes list entries for medieval period under various topics, but later volumes are more strictly chronological, placing medieval entries by date under sections headed "500-1798" or "Feudalzeitalter 500-1798." In earlier volumes bibliographies were followed by commentary on the year's work and reports of research in progress, but later volumes are confined to bibliography.

An attempt to list all the sources pertinent to the study of medieval history, with emphasis on published collections. In several sections: A&B: short-title listings of sources arranged by country; C: alphabetic list of collections of sources; D: list of individual texts with entries for authors and conventional titles, giving for each location of manuscripts, editions, translations and commentaries; Vita: list of accounts of the saints, again citing manuscripts, editions, translations and commentaries; Anhang, chronological lists of sources arranged by country. Not completely trustworthy, but very important for locations of medieval texts.

Intended as a modernization of Potthast, incorporating collections he omitted and adding collections published since his compilation. The first volume, Series collectionum, lists published collections subsequent volumes list individual texts, giving for each, as did Potthast, manuscripts, editions, translations and commentary. Volumes currently published (1-5) take the listing of texts through the letter H, so Potthast must still be relied on.
