Medieval Sourcebook:
Gildas (c.504-570): Works
Sourcebook Contents
| Quote: | | The Internet Medieval Sourcebook is organized as three main index pages, with a number of supplementary documents. Each individual section is still large - an organizational goal here is to avoid incessant "clicking" to get between pages and to information. |
* Selected Sources
This is the main entry to the resources here. It consists of an links to an organized "index of selected and excerpted texts for teaching purposes." For teachers who wish to refer students to the Sourcebook, this page is the best starting point.
* Full Text Sources
Full texts of medieval sources arranged according to type.
* Saints' Lives
Devoted to Ancient, Medieval and Byzantine hagiographical sources.
Supplementary Documents
* Help!
A help page, on use of the Sourcebook, for research questions, and on use of the Internet..
* Search the Sourcebook
Search the full texts of all the Sourcebook texts physically located on Fordham servers, at ORB, or selected ancient, late antique, and medieval text databases.
* Sourcebook Accessions
A listing of primary sources in all parts of the site in order of accession. This enables return users to determine what is new.
* Selected Secondary Sources
A Section of the Sourcebook devoted to secondary articles on the subjects covered by the source documents. Its arrangement mirrors that of the primary source pages.
* Medieval Source Projects
A Section of the Sourcebook devoted to presentation at this site, or links to other sites, of projects (longer papers, dissertations, theses) which are based on and/or include editions of primary sources.
* Medieval Legal History
A Section of the Sourcebook bringing together, and organizing, all the texts on the history of law.
* Livre des Sources Médiévales
A Section of the Sourcebook devoted to texts available in French. This section begins life with an ample selection of over 150 etexts from the middle ages until the end of the Ancien Regime. Most are in French, but some are in Latin, Langue d'oc and Langue d'oil. Other texts will be added as they are submitted. Since I read French fluently, but write it with less facility, I welcome collaboration on this part of the project.
* Libro de fuentes medievales de Internet
A Section of the Sourcebook devoted to texts available in Spanish. There are only a few available at the moment, but as they are submitted, they will be added. Since I am not fluent in Spanish, I welcome collaboration on this part of the project.
Internet Sourcebook: Multimedia
* Maps and Images
A Section of the Sourcebook providing a wide array of public domain, and copy-permitted maps and images. [US Law]
* Medieval Films
A thematically organized guide to over 200 medieval-themed films.
* Medieval Music
An extensive guide to the periodization of music from ancient times until the Baroque with an annotated guide to recordings illustrating each period. [At UNF]
Internet History Sourcebooks Project:
Content Information
* Courses Using the Medieval Sourcebook
A list of courses and colleges using the Medieval Sourcebook in its early years, with links to those courses which are online. [Now too many courses use the site in some way for the list to be fully maintained.]
* The Honor Roll
The texts in the Sourcebook have come from a number of different sources, printed and electronic. A number of people have helped by allowing use of their translations, or by entering text. See for a roll of honor and thanks.
* Newly Translated Texts
Although most texts in the Sourcebook are from 19th and early 20th century translations, a significant number of texts have been newly translated by a number of people for this web project. These texts are all copy permitted for non commercial use, but are not public domain.
* Desiderata
The Sourcebook now contains hundreds of texts, but there are still many more to be added. This is a list of top priorities for full text source additions. If you are willing to take on one of these texts, contact me.
* How to Cite Internet and World Wide Web Documents
* Secondary Sources in the Sourcebook
On the various secondary texts and encyclopedias linked to within the main Sourcebook pages.

Post subject: London slang terms derive from the Cockney traditions |
|

Introduction
The English language contains a rich array of slang words and phrases. This can be particularly seen when examining the day to day language of the average Londoner. A great many London slang terms derive from the Cockney tradition and fall into the bracket of 'Rhyming Slang'. Other terms have been introduced by the influx of other cultures into the capital. The resulting mishmash has created what academics sometimes call 'Estuary English' (after the area of the Thames Estuary), although this term is used more to describe the accent used in the area.
On these pages I hope to gather many of these terms, together with a brief explanation of them. Most of the list was initially compiled from my own and friends knowledge and I have used other written sources to add to these. As time has gone on many of the entries have come from visitors to the site.
I realise that some words and phrases are perhaps a bit too 'non pc' for general consumption and have omitted these. Even so, many of the following will offend some people and I would like to state that their inclusion is to provide a realistic representation of the language, not to be sensational or abusive. It is the nature of slang that it is either used to replace taboo phrases or to playfully enhance them, this is unavoidable when compiling a list of this sort.
I have not included an exhaustive list of 'Rhyming Slang' terms but have focused on the specific phrases that are still widely used all around the capital. I have also collected a number of newer phrases that are labelled 'Modern Rhyming Slang' which I have come across over the last few years. It remains to be seen if these terms will be accepted as bona fide 'Rhyming Slang' in the future, but I feel their inclusion at least provides an up to date picture. There are a number of pages on the 'net' that focus on 'Rhyming Slang' in more detail, but these largly focus on the historic terms that are only used by a very small group of people which I feel gives a rather cliched view of Londoners. I have included links to some of these on the links page.
In reality there are very few people who use Rhyming Slang in it's traditional form. My intention is that the site will be used to record the terms that are used by a wide variety of people and I feel that I should stress that a lot of the terms are used in a tongue-in-cheek way. We do not all walk around saying "Cor blimey mate, love a duck I fell down the apples and pears" !
I intend to constantly update these pages with new slang terms that I come across. If you know of any slang that you feel falls into the category of 'London Slang' (or 'Estuary English') then please fill in the survey form on these pages (by choosing the 'Suggest Slang' button from the menu).
a sample of the "b" section of the dictionary
B
baby giraffe - Rhyming Slang for 'half' of a pint of beer.
backhander - a payment given, normally in a secretive fashion.
ballistic - to go mad with rage. eg "He went totally ballistic".
banged up - to be put in prison. eg "Did you hear John got banged up for that blag".
bangers - another name for sausages. Originates from the fact that they explode when cooking if they are not pierced first. A traditional English meal is 'bangers and mash' (sausages + mashed potatoes).
banging - a 'rave culture' term meaning exciting, powerful etc. Has replaced terms such as 'kicking' and 'slammin'. A typical example of the term being used would be when a clubber says a DJ was playing 'banging choons' (a lively full-on set).
banjaxed - meaning drunk or stoned. eg "I feel really banjaxed". From the word 'banjax' - meaning to smash or destroy.
Barclays bank - (normally shortened to 'Barclays'') - Modern Rhyming Slang for 'xxxx'. eg "Dave's a long time in the khazi, bet he's 'avin a Barclays' !".
