Sacris Erudiri 52 (2013)

Sacris Erudiri was founded in 1948 by Dom Eligius Dekkers as a Jaarboek voor Godsdienstwetenschappen, an annual journal for the study of religion. The founder's aim was to bring to public attention specialist studies and research on very diverse aspects of the study of religion and in this way to promote interdisciplinary dialogue. Since then, Sacris Erudiri has developed within Corpus Chistianorum into a leading, peer-reviewed, international scholarly journal with a focus on the Christian past before 1500 AD.

The journal’s mission is to be, in the broadest sense possible, a Journal on the Inheritance of Late Antique and Medieval Christianity. Thematically, it covers the history of Christianity in all its aspects: institutional, doctrinal, liturgical, spiritual, cultural. Christianity is not studied as an isolated phenomenon but its integration within the wider social fabric, consisting of political, social, economic and cultural elements should, where applicable, also be taken into account. Contributions may cover all scholarly genres: incisive short note or extensive Forschungsbericht, exhaustive catalogue or paradigm-shifting synthetic study, new interpretation of a well-known text or first analysis of a virtually unknown text. Editions and studies of texts in Latin and Greek as well as in Oriental versions are especially welcome.

Sacris Erudiri is a Brepols journal, published in cooperation with Corpus Christianorum.
