Cornell Paperbacks Cornell University Press Ithaca, N.Y. 1971 A volume in the series, entitled "The Sources of History:Studies in the Uses of Historical Evidence," under the general editorship of G.R. Elton. 347 p.; 21.5 cm. (8.5 inches). Paperback. Includes index. First Printing "Focusing on Spain, France, England, and the Spanish Netherlands, the author describes in a clear and lively style various types of diplomatic sources, collections, and repositories for the period, and discusses their nature and use. But he goes beyond 'the sanctified sources, problems, issues, questions (and answers), and dramatis personae,' writing from the belief that the long-established canon of sources for diplomatic history must 'be radically expanded if historical knowledge is ever to emerge from its super-annuated embryo'" [from the back cover]
