A Note on Citations
English translations are provided for all citations from other languages.
Translations from medieval texts are my own unless otherwise noted. In
quotations from medieval texts, I have followed the modern distinctions
between i andj and between u and v. Where they have become conven
tional, I use English forms for some French names, such as John the
Fearless and Joan ofArc. I cite scholarly works' published translations in
English whenever I am aware ofthem. Where the original publication of
a scholarly work preceded its translation into English by more than ten
years, the original date is provided in brackets in the bibliography.
