Published by Matthew Gabriele, Assistant Professor of Humanities at Virginia Tech.

Absolutely wonderful excerpts of medieval sources explained in historical settings.  Uncomplicated, entertaining, and explained contextually by a Master Teacher.  Wish these mini-lectures were longer.   Great thanks to the professor who shared these.

Medieval Sources

Very nicely done introductions-aimed at an upper division undergraduate audience- of important European medieval source material that will be familiar to very few listeners outside the field.  Be warned though- these are only 3-5 minutes long-so just as each one starts to get intresting it ends.
