- >Does anyone know books in german about the period 400-800 in europe.
-
- I am afraid that I do not have details of books in german, but for those
- interested, I am posting details of some works in English.
-
- Here are a number of works covering the period 400 to 800 in European
- history. They arrange from fairly general histories to some more
- specialised studies, although I have removed those which are possibly
- too specialised for a general list.
-
- Note: This list is taken from my personal 'list of books' and as such it
- will be probably be found that a number of the works on this list are out
- of date or otherwise objectionable. Nor is the coverage a balanced
- 'bibliography' - simply those books which I have personally used.
- A number of errors in accents will probably have taken place in
- transferring this information from a Mac. The lines are > 80 characters
- in many cases as I have kept all the details of a work to a single line
- in order to ease editing.
