A Comprehensive, Current Bibliography of Monographs

The Bibliographie de civilisation médiévale has been established by the Centre d' Études Supérieures de Civilisation Médiévale (Université de Poitiers) and aims to provide a comprehensive, current bibliography of monographs worldwide and listings of miscellany volumes (conference proceedings, essay collections or Festschriften). Initially the bibliography focuses on the Central Middle Ages, but gradually the coverage will be expanded in stages to cover both the Early and the Late Middle Ages.

The Bibliographie de civilisation médiévale currently comprises 40,000 titles from 1958 to 2003; i.e. the whole of the relevant elements from the famous bibliography in the Cahiers de civilisation médiévale. Every reference has been fully classified by date, subject and location, and provides full bibliographical records.

The disciplines to which the Bibliographie de civilisation médiévale is relevant include all aspects of History, Language and Literature, Philosophy and Theology, Art History, Archaeology, and so forth in the Western, Byzantine and Islamic worlds.
