VIEW PROJECT


Epistolae is a collection of letters to and from women during the 4th to 13th centuries. This website is open to the public, offering scholars and students a growing repository of texts, translations, and background information about women engaged in correspondence in the Middle Ages. The letters, originally written in Latin, are translated to English and linked to biographical sketches of the women who wrote or received them. First released in 2000, the website has been updated with a more robust database as well as the ability to search the collection.
