Acta Sanctorum (AASS)
Editorial responsibility: Société des Bollandistes (Brussels)
This centuries-old project undertaken by the Bollandists was intended to make the saints better known and thus to better guarantee the veneration rendered them by the Church. The series publishes material concerning the lives of the saints, the proofs or guarantees of their veneration, the verification of the chronology, and the localisation.  Thus for each saint an entire dossier is produced.

Arizona Studies in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance (ASMAR)
Editorial responsibility: Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Arizona State University (contact: R. Bjork)
This series presents collections of essays on themes of vital interest to Medieval and Renaissance Studies that are also the focus of the annual ACMRS conference held in Tempe, Arizona, at Arizona State University. The essays are both revised and expanded versions of selected papers delivered at the conference and papers solicited from other scholars in the field. In addition to the collections of essays, the series will also include occasional volumes, generally on themes related to those of the annual conferences.

 

Atelier de recherche sur les textes médiévaux (ARTEM)
Editorial responsibility: ARTEM, Université de Nancy

The collection of ARTEM is focused on the regular publication of editions or studies about texts. Both are urgently needed.

The edition under a separate collection title is envisaged for original charters predating 1121.

 

L'Atelier du Médiéviste (AM)
Editorial responsibility: J. Berlioz, O. Guyotjeannin

Bibliotheca Victorina (BV)

Editorial responsibility:  P. Gautier Dalché, P. Sicard, L. Jocqué, R. Berndt*
Since the history of the Augustinian canons has been attracting increasing interest at an academic level for over more than thirty years, a corresponding scholarly home for the publication of monographs and texts on this subject became imperative. The series Bibliotheca Victorina, in principle, is open to work on all aspects of the history of the canons regular: the history of the order and of individual houses, spirituality and theology, liturgy and law, economic history, and so forth.

(*) volumes 1-9

 

Brepols Humanities Library (BHL)

Editorial responsibility:  
A series containing paper     versions of important reference works.

 

Burgundica (BURG)

Editorial responsibility: J.-M. Cauchies
Few periods of history have produced, or continue to produce, such an interest for scholars as well as for the wider public as the so-called ‘Burgundian century’. It is true that alongside two periods which go by the vague terms, ‘Late Middle Ages’ or ‘the Renaissance’ the twelve decades between the arrival of Philippe le Hardi in Flanders in 1384 and the death of Philippe le Beau in 1506 formed a melting-pot of ideas and contrasting practical outcomes. And this affected all segments of society. The series Burgundica aims to forefront all these effects, and to reconstitute them – it is perhaps overambitious to say ‘revive’ them –  via a range of studies of high scholarly standard, but also accessible to a broader readership. They will throw light on the ages of the Valois dukes of Burgundy and their immediate successors, Maximilian and Philippe of Habsburg, and how through them Europe was moving into modern times.

 

Catalan Works of Raimundus Lullus (CWRL)

Editorial responsibility: A.M. Alcover and M. Obrador y Bennássar

 

CIVICIMA: Etudes sur le vocabulaire intellectuel du Moyen Age (CIVI)
Editorial responsibility: Civicima (contact: O. Weijers)

Civicima is the acronym of an international committee created in 1985 to promote research in the field of the vocabulary of intellectual life in the Middle Ages. It focuses its efforts on the vocabulary of intellectual institutions and on communication in this context. It is not the contents of the various disciplines in which the committee is interested, but the process of intellectual work in the Middle Ages. Through the study of terminology Civicima combines a historical and semantic research approach to produce a fairly precise description of both the concepts and the realities expressed. 

The committee's name (Comité International du Vocabulaire des Institutions et de la Communication Intellectuelles au Moyen Age) is applied also to the series containing the outcomes of its research programme.

 

Comparative Rural History of the North Sea Area (CORN)
Editorial responsibility: CORN Research Group
The CORN research group was founded in 1995 on the initiative of the University of Gent. It consists of different research units that primarily want to study long term development of the rural society from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. It focuses on the North Sea area from a comparative and interdisciplinary point of view.

La Documentation Cistercienne (DOCU)

Editorial responsibility: E. Manning

 

Documents, Etudes et Répertoires (DER)
Editorial responsibility: Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (CNRS, Paris)
Fondé à Paris en 1937, l'Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes, aujourd'hui laboratoire propre du CNRS, a pour mission essentielle d'étudier la transmission et la diffusion des textes depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à la Renaissance.  Le manuscrit, support du texte pendant la période antique et médiévale, y est, sous ses différents aspects, l'objet d'une étude approfondie.  Surtout connu comme un organisme de documentation, mettant à la disposition des chercheurs du monde entier les ressources de ses fichiers et de sa filmothèque, l'IRHT est devenu aussi avec les années un centre important de publications.  Les collaborateurs de l'IRHT se sont consacrés depuis le début à l'édition de sources, à l'élaboration de bibliographies et d'inventaries, dans différentes aires linguistiques. Il était logique qu'une partie au moins de la documentation amassée revêtît la forme la pluss achevée de l'imprimé.

 

Etudes Augustiniennes: Collection Moyen-Age et Temps Modernes (EAMA)
Editorial responsibility: Institut d'Etudes Augustiniennes (Paris)
La Collection des Etudes Augstiniennes à été créée en 1954. Si par vocation elle publie prioritairement des ouvrages d'érudition consacrés à l'oeuvre d'Augustin et à l'augustinisme, son champ d'accueil est plus large: patristique grecque et latine, ainsi que son héritage à travers les siècles; aspects divers de la littérature, de la pensée et de l'histoire du chistianisme, de l'Antiquité aux Temps modernes.

 

Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae (FEG)
Editorial responsibility: H. Millet

Hagiologia (HAG)
Editorial responsibility: Belgische werkgroep voor hagiologisch onderzoek / Atelier belge d'études sur la sainteté (contact: Paul Bertrand)
Research into the history of sainthood is generating ever-increasing interest. Several research networks have been formed in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and North America. In Belgium, the Hagiologia werkgroep / atelier of younger scholars forms a comparable grouping. This group regularly organises workshops focused on a particular subject. From this comes this series which will publish dissertations, proceedings of conferences or workings-out of topics studied during the workshops and dealt with in a more comprehensive, multidisciplinary fashion.

 

International Medieval Research (IMR)
Editorial responsibility: International Medieval Institute, University of Leeds (contact: Axel Müller)
Volumes in this series consist primarily of reworked papers read at the International Medieval Congress held each July at the University of Leeds, completed with contributions from individual scholars that are closely linked with chosen themes. The conference each year attracts over 1300 participants from around the world, but the sessions are grouped into 20-30 strands which are thematically based. Each year there is a special strand. The volumes are based on papers from within one of the recurrent strands, or from a year’s special strand.

 

Iuris Scripta Historica (KAISH)
Editorial responsibility: Koninklijke Academie van België

 

Iusti Lipsi Epistolae (KAILE)
Editorial responsibility: Koninklijke Academie van België
The aim of this series published by the Koninklijke Academie van België is to publish critical editions of the complete correspondence of Justus Lipsius, amounting to about 4300 letters. The importance of this correspondence does not stem only from the figure of Lipsius, one of the great figures of Humanism, but also from that of his 600 correspondents.

 

Late Medieval and Early Modern Studies (LMEMS)

Editorial responsibility: University of Melbourne, Faculty of Arts; Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
The series covers the historical period in Western and Central Europe from ca. 1300 to ca. 1650. It concentrates on topics of broad cultural, religious, intellectual and literary history. The editors are particularly interested in studies that are distinguished by their broad chronological range; their spanning of time ranges such as medieval, Renaissance, Reformation, early modern; their straddling of national borders and historiographies; and their cross-disciplinary approach.

The Editorial Board comprises: Ian Moulton (Arizona State University West), Frederick Kiefer (University of Arizona), Stephanie Trigg (University of Melbourne), Charles Zika (University of Melbourne)
