LibGuides: TC 302: Idolatry & Iconoclasm / Peers: Where to find primary sources for this assignment

Primary sources about Iconoclasm

There aren't specifically collections of primary sources on iconoclasm. The best way to explore primary sources relating to your chosen event of iconoclasm is to dig into the references in scholarly articles or encyclopedia articles - what evidence do scholars use when they talk about these events, how do they contextualize these events?

Here are a couple options that may help:

Internet Medieval Sourcebook (Fordham U)
You can limit to time period at left or use the search bar at top (but I don't know that this search is limited to the sourcebooks)
New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia
Uses primary sources to contextualize events and writings.
