As you can see below, there is an ever-growing list of source material out there to study. Many WMA groups have done excellent work in posting original source material, and transcribing and translating this information. This page is designed to be a useful centralized portal for those interested particularly in the German tradition (the underlined sources in black), though additional sources may make their way below as well from time to time.
We apologize for the messiness (and we're working on cleaning up, promise!), but in the meantime we hope this is helpful to those interested in the history from which we are studying our art. If you know of any updates or corrections, please let us know so we can keep this up-to-date for all.
Happy Navigating!
