SC - Fw: [Mid] Medieval Sites

[Alderton, Philippa]

Hey, folks, these look like sites of general interest to all. Forgive me,
those of you who get it twice- Ninkip and Puck, as newbies, I strongly
recommend them.

: Hi, folks!

: Fortuitously, the following two sites just appeared in my inbox this
: afternoon under the heading "Top 10 Homework Sites of the Week."

: Hats off to the Medievalists for cleaving through the Gordian knots on
: the
: Web and giving us a premiere site with knowledge that is up front and
: manageable. "Setting Out on Orb" is the entrance page, which provides an
: interactive outline of topics and articles, laid out in chronological
: order. The highlighted subjects lead directly to new essays on matters
: Medieval. Many of the subjects are not yet highlighted because they
: await a
: submission from a top historian from the relevant field. In a lively
: academic area like this one, where new discoveries and ideas are
: galloping
: off in all directions, the introductory essays bring a student
: immediately up-to-date. The Internet frustration of being dissipated by
: multiplying links is reversed: summary first, with sources moving out
: from
: the knowledge. For example, the Anglo-Saxon essay in the "Before 1000"
: section already includes a scholar's paradise on Saint Bede the
: Venerable.
: There is a Bede biography revised most recently four months ago, along
: with
: a choice selection of other Bede reference, including the famous passage
: describing the flight of the sparrow and the conversion of the
: Northumbrians.

: Middle Ages

: This may well be a place where some of tomorrow's Medievalists began
: their
: quest. Eight articles answer the question: What was it really like to
: live
: in the Middle Ages?
