Heyo everyone,
I'm teaching Early Modern Europe to undergrads next fall, and I've come to lament the sorry state of my primary source library for this period. I need suggestions for substantial primary sources: 100-200 pages is best, and I'm happy to take novels, memoirs, political essays, whatever--but I'd like sources that get away from Britain, France, and Germany. I'd especially like sources from Iberia, the Ottoman Empire, Italy, or Eastern Europe. Thematically, I can work with almost anything, so whatever you've got that you found readable and interesting, let's hear it
Sorry in advance for the German source but...Gluckel of Hameln, memoirs of a Jewish woman who ran a commercial Empire (of sorts). You get women, religious minorities, and economics all in one volume.
Try volumes 5 and 6 of this series, designed for UChicago's undergrad core sequence: http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/series/RWC.html
Some particularly good ones: Alessandra Strozzi's letters from Renaissance Florence; compare and contrast Luther's letter with the bull of convocation for the Council of Trent; and the Galileo documents in vol. 6
