The Oxford Dictionary of the Middle Ages, edited by Robert E. Bjork and published by Oxford University Press in 2010, is a four-volume reference work covering European history, society, religion, and culture from 500 to 1500 CE, with additional coverage of the Byzantine Empire, Islamic dynasties, and relevant Asiatic peoples like the Avars and Mongols. Volume 2 specifically covers entries from D to J, forming part of the comprehensive 5,000+ entries written by over 800 international scholars. It includes topics such as art, architecture, medicine, law, archaeology, ecclesiastical history, and languages, supplemented by illustrations and maps. The dictionary is designed for both medievalists and general readers, offering balanced coverage of key geographical regions and 16 major topics central to medieval studies. Each entry includes a brief bibliography, and the work is noted for its authoritative, accessible content, making it a highly recommended resource for academic and public libraries.
