This
part of Vortigern Studies takes a good look at
all the sources about Vortigern himself, but
those about his time as well.
The
top part discusses sources in general and
presents part of the original texts both in Latin
and English.
The
second part of this section explores and
discusses all sources that are connected with
Vortigern (ranging from Gildas to the Welsh
Triads), but also with the fifth century and the
'end of Roman Britain' (ranging from the Notitia
Dignitatum to the Domesday Book). Several of
these refer to off-site full texts, both in latin
and English where available.
Also,
I have printed the relevant parts of the sources
about Vortigern, from Gildas to the Bruts. The
texts of the sources dealing with British history
of the 4-6th centuries are in this section, but
the texts of the sources dealing specifically
with Vortigern can be found in the History or in the Guests' articles sections.
However,
to avoid confusion all texts are shown in both
sections.
The
image of the scribe is a detail of a medieval
ivory, now in the Vienna Museum. I am not sure of
the name or date of the artifact.
