TosaInu: Please visit https://forums.totalwar.org/?q=node/118 for the content.

Welcome to our on-line library, a tool for quick reference as well as in-depth research for players of TW games and mods.

There are seven titles:
1. General Resources
2. Ancient
3. Roman
4. Sengoku Jidai
5. Medieval
6. Early Modern
7. Napoleonic
There are subtitles for Nations and Empires if relevant to the games. Every (sub)title has headings for Background, Warfare, Maps and Primary Sources.


Legend

Each link is accompanied by an indicator of the site's language(s) (colored orange), the name of the .org member who contributed it (in small print) and a summary description of content and host (in Italics).

Some links are marked superb because they are worth visiting in their own right.

Some links occur under several headings – that’s because they’re the best.



Please help

This sticky is far from complete and I need your help. Please consider corrections and additions, or criticise the whole concept. Nit-pickers be my guest, I’m one of you. And please report any dead links.

Great idea. Thanks for volunteering Adrian. ~D

Seriously, if you (or anyone else) post it, I'll sticky it. Your proposed organizational layout seems good to me. The only suggestion I'd have is to give credit to the patron who provided the link.

Something like this? ~;)

Exactly, m8 !! :thumbsup:

It pains me, of course, to see the Kingdom of the Netherlands next to Snorri's Heimskringla and the Heiliges Roemisches Reich Theutscher Nation. ~;)

Seriously, I'll take a close look at all of it and try to sort it out according to period etcetera. Please bear with me (and have patience) because I'm going to need your help.

I suppose guys like Sigurd of Fafnesbane, Pindar, Hurin Rules, Aurelian and many others will have ideas and links to add. This might become a Frankenstein monster and we may have to shoot it... but after some pruning and the scaling back to generic links it might be manageable after all.

Thanks again, Mouzafphaerre.

I knew you were a great amateur of encyclopedic knowledge, and these bookmarks reflect the range of your curiosity and interests.

Please look at the tentative lay-out I have edited into my original post and tell me what you think of it. I feel that we should first (1) await the input of others, then (2) settle on a particular lay-out, and finally (3) get down to the nitty-gritty of the choice of links.

Timelines as a general guide is OK but too much subdivisions will, I'm afraid, fail when there are simply no detailed resouces OR the sources to be dealt with aren't specific to a certain subtitle.

As you probably have noticed, I prefer geography over chronology in my bookmarks but either way is OK to me.

Your links are particularly appreciated because I want to turn this into a tool for TW players and modders, with the emphasis on the periods and nations and their warfare covered by the game and its various mods.
Edit : I noticed Mouzafphaerre already posted some of these links.I will try to deal with the problem of overlap, but the assistance of patrons in correcting my mistakes is very welcome.
I tried to avoid links to Macedonian or Greek sites (mostly cause many of them are full of "Macedonians are greeks" and "Macedonians aren't greeks")I think we can not and should not shy away from controversy because that is part and parcel of historiography. Some conflictuous material will have to be included, but I trust we can deal with that.

To save you some time, I'm going to put a sticky to links that have already been posted.Thanks, you are most helpful.

I'll continue working on it. I think we're beginning to see the skeleton of the animal, but I am not satisfied yet. We want all the bones in place before we can add the meat and skin and breathe life into it.

Edit
As for the language, I think we should only include non-English links if they (1) contain unique information relevant to the TW games, and (2) they are not available in English at all.

So, no original Old French Froissart, because the Bibliotheque Nationale has made him available in English. But, say, a link to an original Norse chronicle with bearing on the TW games that has never been translated into English is definitely on.
What do you think?

We'll get there somewhere this week, though I'll be fine-tuning it for a while and I'll keep an eye on it as long as I'm an active member of course.

You can stick it (pun unintentional) whenever you want, Gregoshi. I'll change the introductory text so it looks like a proper sticky. Would you care to change the name into, say, Virtual Library or On-line History Resource or sumpin'? I'm a bit of a stickler for decorum. :toff:

another weaponry oriented site

it is essentially a chronicle of 13th century arms.

Is there a TW Civil War mod out. And if so, is there a recognisable community for it? In that case I will add a title for the period. But so far I have seen none of that. I have just added a title for the Early Modern Era because of the Citadel mod.

Saudi Aramco, the oil company born as an international enterprise 75 years ago, distributes Saudi Aramco World to increase cross-cultural understanding. The bimonthly magazine's goal is to broaden knowledge of the cultures, history and geography of the Arab and Muslim worlds and their connections with the West. Saudi Aramco World is distributed without charge, upon request, to interested readers worldwide.
kind of like a saudi national geographic, and it's mostly concerned with modern islamic culture. but there's a little historical research too, here's a couple of their articles:

btw, looks like that absoluteastronomy site is back up adrian, as of 20:11 gmt.Will check, Big John! I haven't been much on-line over the past couple days (it seems I have a life after all) but I'll catch up and incorporate more links over the coming days.

Boy, this is turning into a monster...

btw, looks like that absoluteastronomy site is back up adrian, as of 20:11 gmt.Man, you posted a lot of good links and many of them are already in, but this absoluteastronomy is a hard nut to crack. It looks great, in-depth, good analysis, but it loads like a hippie Volkswagen on a Sunday morning. It's a real shame. Is it just me? If so, I'll try a different connection tomorrow and check it all the way.

never seen the site slow, just down a lot for me. but don't worry about it, it's only a mediocre site, imo. like you say, some interesting descriptions, but generally it's very hit-or-miss. just come back to it some time if you get bored or whatever.

edit: a couple more site for future consideration:
http://www.doaks.org/Crusades/CR01.pdf
an excerpt from the crusades from the perspective of byzantium and the muslim world by laiou & mottahedeh. pdf format. for people who really like to read. :blank2:
http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/geometry/content.htm
an interesting online version of a museum of the history of science exhibit about mathematics and the development of warfare in renaissance europe. not sure how pertinent it is, but it's very cool, and it's got lots of nice scans from old books. :book:

an example:

john dryden's translation of plutarch's comparisson of crassus and nicias
http://classics.mit.edu/Plutarch/crasus_n.htmlI've already put it in. The decision took me less than an hour.

The reason is that Perseus, although authoritative on matters of scholarship (they have excellent on-line history textbooks and essays) and extremely useful for visual (re)sources, simply lacks some of the original texts that MIT has. Perseus has nothing by Hippocrates, for instance, whereas MIT has not only his Oath (how could Perseus omit that?) but his entire On Airs, Waters, and Places, On Ancient Medicine and related medical texts.

To refer to your example, Persues has some Dryden translations of Ovidius Naso's Elegies, but not of any Plutarch. Worse, their external source index does not even refer to Dryden's Plutarch on the MIT server.

On the other hand, Perseus has the complete Greek, Latin and Persian versions of texts, which is the real candy of the experts...

what about these other 'friesian' links? i see mouza gave you several already. very general info.I already had some Friesian links in there by courtesy of Mouzafphaerre, but I was running into a capacity problems lately. The sticky had become so unwieldy that I couldn't add a link unless I scrapped another link. So I had to make some tough choices.

For Russia for instance, I gave preference to Pappas' web site (http://www.shsu.edu/%7Ehis_ncp/365Read.html) which you will admit is pretty comprehensive, well-written and rich in original sources. But late last week TosaInu gave me permission to split the sticky into two parts, and both are easy to handle (and expand) now.

So I'll be adding Friesian stuff wherever necessary. Thanks for keeping a watchful eye on what I'm doing, my friend, I appreciate that.

It's an excellent collection of essays and book reviews by a certain F. E. Smitha. It's not superb -- some of the essays' factual accuracy I personally dispute, as well as the articles' neutrality. But further quite a good resource.

~WizI have never heard of the site, but then there are many things I have never heard of.

Smitha (if that is his real name) is clearly not a professional historian, but most of the sites I link to are not professional and some amateur sites are far better than professional ones. As long as the origin of the content is transparent and the site doesn't contain obvious propaganda or gaffes, it's okay with me. But I'm open to suggestion and if members find obvious fault with a site I'll scrap it.

So please tell us, what inaccuracies or bias did you find in Smitha's?

http://www.stoa.org/projects/demos/home Demos, Excellent site covering the Democracy of Classical Athens. A nice collection of articles covering the structure of the Athenian government, references, and links to Perseus. It's also slowly adding related article that are normally only available in subscription journals.

http://www.stoa.org/sol/ Suda On-Line, Project to provide and online annotated version of the Suda (both greek and translated versions). Project to provide an online annotated version of the Suda (both Greek and translated versions). The only problem here is that more such projects for other texts are not being funded.

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/ Early Church Fathers and some other Late Texts, The site has a 19th century collection of translations by T. & T. Clark, with some additional related works now out of copyright. The site includes a couple of non-Christian authors that were apparently included in the collections. For example the only translations of Cornelius Nepos and Justinus I have found are here.

here's a odd little site maintained by associate professor of history at hillsdale college, dave stewart. it's mostly a collection of personal accounts (or translations thereof) from various military conflicts throughout history. the collection is biased towards modern times. maybe that's to be expected.

Well, I must admit that those faults I've found in his essays concern areas that I happen to know a lot about, such as Mongol history and Persian history. Especially in the Mongol history he does not attempt to take away hindsight all that much, leaving the reader with an impression of a brutal people who's favorite pasttime was killing, while that is certainly not true.

It's a small fault though, as far as I'm concerned. Many of the articles have brought new and logical insights into things I knew relatively little about before, such as the reasons for the final decline of the Byzantine empire. It's quite a good site.

A study of the Roman Empire from 146BC to 1204 AD (http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~sctwiseh/Roman/5SumMaps.html)Désolé, I keep getting a 404 there, Brother Meneldil. I have looked into the Griffith University parent site, but couldn't find those maps. Can you help me?
Emese Saga : Hungarian Prehistory from the beginings to King St. Stephen. (http://mek.oszk.hu/01900/01993/html/)It's a boy! Nice site, I particularly liked the illustrations of the Conquering Hungarians' horses. Imagine riding that...

Anyway, it'll get its own spot in the sticky.
History of Crimea, Russia, the Balkans, etc. (http://www.hostkingdom.net/crimea.html)Woof! Its parent site, Regnal Chronologies, has already been included in the sticky in its entirety under the heading 'Genealogies', near the very top. It is a fantastic site for genealogy amateurs, no mistake there.

I understand why you would be impressed by that website. However, my sticky features only sites that cover the TW series periods and the mods available in this board -- so they do not cover the American Civil War, the Franco-German war of 1870, WWI or WWI, the Korean war, etcetera. So sorry. :embarassed:

Oh, and never hesitate (or apologise) to call my attention to a good-looking site! Don't check the entire sticky to see if it is already there. That is the job for which I was dumb enough to volunteer.

Hello,

The topic is working again. We should move the content over to https://forums.totalwar.org/?q=node/118. That script seems faster in handling lists like this.

It's using about the same bb code, so it's mostly a matter of copy and paste. There are a few exceptions like fontsize, when you use 1, make it 10 or so. Smileys need the full url in img tags.

I'll clean it up a bit and then hand it over to Adrian II.

My responsibility for this sticky was taken over by brother Geoffrey S in July last year. I was very glad to have found such a worthy and enthusiastic sucessor.

Geoffrey S was supposed to be given some key or code that allowed him to access the sticky. Somehow I don't think this happened. I suppose it should still be done if Geoffrey still feels like it - better late than never.

Hi. Do you know any good sources about the revolution of Greece(in about 1830) especially history novel of that?

Hi komnenos,
It would be better if you did not use the word "novel". In English this is only used for fiction. You can just call it "a history".

Hi komnenos,
Fall of Constantinople by Mika Toimi Waltari is a historical novel, therefore fiction. A historical novel is a made up story set in a historical setting. Sometimes authors add a note explaining which parts are true, otherwise it has to be checked from other sources.

Hi komnenos,

You did not state which period.
Ian Heath said they used the 'Lady of Blachernae' until it was captured in 1204. He also mentions that Scylitzes ms (http://warfare.ml/12/Scylitzes-Chronicle.htm) shows a standard with a cross. You may be able to find it at Manuscript Miniatures (http://manuscriptminiatures.com/search/?year=1000&year_end=1200&country=6&manuscript=codex-grcus-matritensis-ioannis-skyllitzes-bne-mss&tags=&tag_mode=all&per=50&view=gallery)

For the 14th century try The Romance of Alexander, Byzantine, 14th century (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=el&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2F194.177.217.107%2Fgr%2Fminiatures.asp) & a 14th century manuscript of the Constantine Manasses Chronicle (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Constantine_Manasses_Chronicle)
