Source of many sources!

I'm not sure if this has been posted before but..

A link to a website with lots and lots of source material:
http://www.documentacatholicaomnia.eu/a ... ttera.html

Much medieval stuff, but also ancient, classical and late antique sources.

I am mildly concerned by the copyright notice - it is unclear if they are claiming copyright on just the website text (which is fair enough) or if they are also including the texts. Since my transliteration of the Vegetius text appears to be in there (which I did years ago so it would be in the public domain and the text of which you can still find on my website) I feel I should point out that the text, Lang's 1885 2nd edition, is in the public domain and is outwith copyright (subsequent editions may of course still be witrhin).

Since it's the same copyright notice as shown on the other pages of their website, I'd say they do not claim copyright of the texts (which they know are in the public domain).

Of course, you could write them an email asking about it - in Latin, of course. :wink:

I posted a link to that site a couple weeks ago, I think, along with a dozen other similarly helpful and interesting pages. The posts are in both the Roman and Greek military forums.

If I did I would have to compose it using lots of bits of Latin from earlier writers and try and convince people that it was all a true representation of something much later ;-) Chances are, many people would believe it...
