Whomph. That's quite a lot. I really think that that is too much to use
in one big block. I really would recommend breaking that down into some
smaller bibliographies. Maybe one on the 12th century in general and
then ones by region or one for raw fact sources such as the Chronicles or
the Pipe Rolls (not sure what these are exactly). Or seperate ones for
clothing or agriculture or whatever.

In the Florilegium that is where I generally start looking at breaking
off a seperate file or a volume 2 version. Roughly around 100k, originally
decided upon because that is about 35 pages or what a standard stapler
would handle since at one time I distributed my files in paper form.

You *own* copies of all these referanced books??? Or do you mean you
have more bibliographies down in the basement.

I really appreciate the work you are putting into this. I'm looking forward
to getting a copy of this for my own persona studies as well as adding
such a useful piece of work to the Florilegium.

Yes and I recommend sending it in RTF instead of the native format
when possible to avoid problems with the special characters and version
problems. This is why the Florilegium formats are HTML, text and RTF,
not HTML, text and Word 5.x or whatever.
