Medieval and Renaissance history books
ester mendes
I'll periodically be culling and posting lists of new and in
print publications that deal with medieval and Renaissance history.
The books in this list are from publisher's web pages, and periodicals
like Publisher's Weekly, Library Journal and the Chronicle of Higher
Education
I've sorted the list by general topic subject area. For that reason,
some books may appear twice.
