About

Mediaeval Studies, the annual journal of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (Toronto), publishes research on the Middle Ages by scholars throughout the world, particularly studies of unedited manuscript and archival material. With its focus on the period extending from the fifth century to the fifteenth, Mediaeval Studies includes articles in a wide range of disciplines, including theology, philosophy, liturgy, civil and canon law, institutional and social history, paleography, history of science and medicine, language and literature, art history, archaeology, mathematics, and music. In addition to scholarship on the medieval West, it includes articles in Byzantine and Slavic studies as well as Jewish and Islamic studies. The range of areas covered allows for multidisciplinary studies that offer new approaches in the investigation of medieval subjects, and the inclusion of plates and figures makes Mediaeval Studies a suitable publication for articles that examine paleographical and codicological features in manuscript sources.
