B. TEXT SOURCES

(Editor's Note: The author's original bibliography was very much incomplete — especially with respect to the sources of [mostly Germanic] texts quoted or referred to in the book, for which citations were entirely missing. Source texts cited below may not always coincide with sources that the author actually used, but the editor is endeavouring to ensure consistency of content. This appendix may be updated, pending future developments.)
