The goal is to offer an overview of the current state of research and a basic route map for navigating an abundant historiography available in more than 10 different languages. The literature published in English on the medieval history of Eastern Europe?books, chapters, and articles?represents a little more than 11 percent of the historiography. The companion is therefore meant to provide an orientation into the existing literature that may not be available because of linguistic barriers and, in addition, an introductory bibliography in English. 410 0$aBrill's Companions to European History$v19. 606 $aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistoriography 615 0$aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography. 676 $a947.0009/02 700 $aCurta$b Florin$0443793 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795311403321 996 $aEastern Europe in the Middle Ages (500-1300)$93764997 997 $aUNINA
