Triolet to Spring

Triolet to Spring


New sprung movement, measure so sweet

Woven language banish my grief

Away from melancholy's deceit

New-sprung movement, measure so sweet

Office sacred, chorus complete

Sacred moment, a fresh motif

New sprung movement, measure so sweet

Woven language banish my grief

Diversity and Ethnicity in Europe pre-1600

 This resource list is a compilation of scholarships on diversity and ethnicity in Europe before the seventeenth century. This tertiary list was created because scholars have found that although Europe wasn’t perfect, it had a rich cultural diversity and the resources and scholarship are constantly growing!  This curated list is by no means the only research on the topic.


The current shared link is a Google document:


LGBTQIA+ Resources In Period

 This resource list is a compilation of scholarship on Queer history before the seventeenth century. It is a growing and evolving resource compilation as more scholarship emerges on the topic. It is important to recognize that the language used in the period is not the same language we use today and the terms could be considered offensive or difficult to read. I started compiling this list in 2021 and it has grown. It is available as a Google document.
