Internet Medieval Sourcebook
editThe Internet Medieval Sourcebook or IMS is a web site with Medieval source documents, maps, secondary sources, bibliographies, images and music. It is located at the Fordham University Center for Medieval Studies.
A large number of the documents on IMS are older copyright-expired translations from the 19th and early 20th century.[2] However, IMS also has a section of "recently translated texts" which have been translated just for IMS. In fact, IMS claims it "contains more newly-translated texts than any available published collection of medieval sources."[3]
