What is the term...?[edit]
What then is the term for studying the history texts of different countries, societies? I thought this was called comparative history.

Bibliography[edit]
That is a huge bibliography for what is a tiny stub, and likely to remain one. I suggest it be removed, or maybe copied to here. Scolaire (talk) 10:25, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

- I have kept it. I've kept it here. The article needs inline citations, not just the random addition of unsupported statements followed by a list of thirty books. If anybody uses one of the books, they should cite it; if not, then that booklist serves no purpose. Wikipedia is not a repository of book titles. Scolaire (talk) 20:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Expansion[edit]
Hi there, Prof. @Rjensen:
- This page is quite short. Could you spare some time to expand it? Or what source (open, on-line, short essay ish) do you think we should rely on, as to writing up an introductory article? I'm not a history major .. so I'm more aiming for getting a good introduction of the methodology done first. I might translate it into Chinese later.

- That's an interesting question... You might start with Welskopp, Thomas: Comparative History, which is in English & very strong on the European especially German literature. Rjensen (talk) 04:39, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- Wow, that looks sound at first glance. Thank you! -- SzMithrandir (talk) 04:53, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
