Bibliography

I've included this page to share with you the major sources of information I have found and used in writing this website.

As is always the case with historical transcription, these sources occasionally include conflicting and/or erroneous material. However, I have endevoured to cross-check my facts so as to validate them from more than one reliable source. That said, all content on this site may be subject to revision. My research is ongoing and the possibility always exists that new facts may come to light.

Of course, if you have another source that you would like to share that I have not listed here, feel free to contact me using the email link in the menu to the left.

Thanks!

Note: Works in each subsection are listed roughly in order of usefulness rather than in alphabetical order.
