About Us Erasmo. Revista de Historia Medieval y Moderna is a project designed to create a new venue for the diffusion of research work related to the field of Humanities, offering authors and readers the opportunity to engage in an exchange of those ideas that stand out for their methodological innovations and advancements in our scientific knowledge. The journal publishes original academic articles related to Medieval and Modern History, and Historiographic Sciences and Techniques, as well as unpublished book reviews on the same topics. The publication frequency is annual, with each new issue of the journal being released in the last quarter of the year. The journal, edited thanks to the institutional support of the University of Valladolid, started thanks to the initiative of a group of predoctoral researchers from the Department of Ancient and Medieval History, as well as from the Department of Modern History, Contemporary History, History of America, and Journalism of the same university. Soon after, the Department of Prehistory, Archaeology, Social Anthropology, and Historical Sciences and Techniques joined the project. From 2014 to 2023 (issues 1 through 10), the journal was published under the name Erasmo. Revista de Historia Bajomedieval y Moderna. In January 2024, the Editorial Board decided to relaunch the publication under the new name Erasmo. Historia Medieval y Moderna. Yet, both the spirit of the editorial project and its ISSN remain the same. While History is the central focus, the journal has a clear interdisciplinary philosophy, aiming to provide a scientific platform for researchers in the field of Humanities to offer their contributions. Accepted study approaches include all those applicable to the field (including History, Palaeography, Epigraphy, History of Written Culture, Art History, Literature, Sociology, Musicology, etc.). Contributions that pursue interdisciplinarity or novel methodologies within their respective disciplines are especially welcome. In order to achieve the desired quality, it has been deemed necessary to narrow the chronological and geographical focus of the works accepted. Thus, authors must limit their studies to the Middle Ages and the Modern Period (5th–18th centuries). Likewise, the journal’s geographical interest lies on the analysis of Western Civilization, broadly understood to include America as part of this reality, despite its unique features. The Editorial Board has always prioritized the search for ex
