Father Giovanni Vantini FSCJ's ''Oriental Sources Concerning Nubia'' (1975), published as a field-manual for archaeologists of medieval Nubia, has long been a standard reference guide in Nubian studies.

Note that Vantini’s original ''corrigenda'' and ''addenda'' to these texts have been incorporated along with further standardisation of spellings and diacritics. The use of brackets have been standardised so that round brackets are used for translations and square brackets include additional information. Scholars of Nubian studies are aware of the acute need to revisit the editions and translations of the literary sources in Vantini's collection, and are invited to use the Medieval Nubia wiki as a forum for discussing these issues. Some mistakes may still remain and notifications of such to the administrators of the website are most welcome.
