Role-Playing Resource: The Internet Medieval Sourcebook

I ran across a great resource for medieval role-playing games and I thought I would share. Fordham University maintains the excellent  “Internet Medieval Sourcebook” and it is definitely worth a look.   The archive contains hundreds of links to everything from Anglo-Saxon literature to the Barcelona Maritime Code and just about anything else you can imagine in-between. The archive’s most important feature is it links to complete texts, not just summaries. I always find the raw data more valuable than summaries or second-hand interpretations.

I will not promise any exciting reading in the archive, but it is chock full of cool game materials and realia. Whenever a king releases an edict regarding maritime law, inheritance of property  or, my personal favorite, rules  for  Trail by Ordeal, you can actually use the real thing. Fun!
