Monumenta Germaniae Historica
The
(
Latin for "Historical Monuments of Germany"), frequently abbreviated
MGH, is a comprehensive series of carefully edited and published
primary sources, both
chronicle and
archival, for the study of parts of Northwestern, Central and Southern European history from the end of the
Roman Empire to 1500. Despite the name, the series covers important sources for the history of many countries besides Germany, since the Society for the Publication of Sources on Germanic Affairs of the Middle Ages has included documents from many other areas subjected to the influence of Germanic tribes or rulers (Britain, Czech lands, Poland, Austria, France, Low Countries, Italy, Spain, etc.). The editor from 1826 until 1874 was
Georg Heinrich Pertz (1795–1876); in 1875 he was succeeded by
Georg Waitz (1813–1886).
