As regards http://www.the-orb.net/wemsk/originalwemsk.html

It's described as:
*What Every Medievalist Should Know
<http://www.the-orb.net/wemsk/wemskmenu.html>*
The essential tools of the medievalist, provided by James Marchand and
eduted by Stephen Mark Carey. These 45 lists, arranged topically and
alphabetically, comprise the premier guide to medieval studies
"These lists are meant for the
beginning-to-semi-advanced graduate student. The specialist will find
nothing here. They are meant to get you started, and to allow you to
work up in a new field"
I note that one can learn about saints but Food History and what they
ate is not included.
Nor is Agriculture. Arithmetic and Astronomy -- yes. The role of Women
-- NO!
I don't think it's worth our time.

concentrated in Medieval and no
this was not my program.)
