I appologize that some of you will get this twice.
Greetings, I am doing a paper for Medieval Civilizations 300-1300. I
understand a primary source is a firsthand account of what happened,
while a secondary resource is a secondhand account of what happened.
My Question is this: The information in the book, "Opera Mulebria
Women And Work In Medieval Europe" appears as Notes at the end of each
chapter Eg; #73."On fabrics, Especially Silk, in the Byzantine empire,
see the classic Study by Lopez, 1945." #78. "ASS I Julii, p. 60:
'...transiens secus locum, qui Cedrius vulgo dictur, ubi prostibula
meretricum erant...'."
I ASSUME the first is a secondary resource. If she reffered back to a
document in antiquity it would still be a secondary resource wouldn't
it? Following this logic is the second a PRIMARY resource?
Learning to hate college,
