These are links to primary sources that I discuss in class. They help you by giving you more context and more evidence you can use in discussing the thoughts of the peoples we are studying. If you want to get an A or a B in this class you will need to be familiar with these sources as well as the readings assigned in the syllabus.

These sources are also linked to the relevant outlines.
