Hard Copy Sources

It has not been possible, nor was it desirable, to rely solely upon other web sites for the information for this site.  This site treats a large number of topics, but not in great depth.  A person wanting greater depth will find it in hard copy monographs or journal articles.

This page is under construction, but will eventually provide all the hard copy sources used.  On the content pages, the author's name and sometimes the date and page number will be given.  Hyper-links will join the name to the full citation on this page.

This list is far from complete and is somewhat eccentric.  Any recent scholarly monograph will provide a more comprehensive list.
