Medieval Literature External Resources This page is a (very) selective list of some basic medieval websites for students. It is by no means comprehensive, but does include links for Chaucer, Dante, Beowulf, Langland, and a few general medieval resources, intermingled with a few more esoteric sources I use for my own research. Medieval Webpages Aberdeen Bestiary Project (offline) Baragona's Chaucer Page Beowulf Resources Boethius: Consolatio Philosophiae (text of The Consolation of Philosophy translated by W. V. Cooper, e-text from University of Virginia Library) Boethius: A Reading Guide to the Consolatio Philosophia (by R. J. Kilcullen) Carolingian Biblical Exegesis (offline, not useful for students so much as it is for scholars) Catholic Encyclopedia (this source has been superseded by The New Catholic Encyclopedia, but this site is still useful for quick perusal before turning to the newer hardcopy version. It's the same link as the newadvent.org link below.)
