Mediaeval Sophia

Mediaeval Sophia. Studies and researches on the Middle Ages is the open access e-journal of the Officina di Studi Mediaevali of Palermo. It was founded by Alessandro Musco in 2007 and since 2015 (number 17) we publish one issue a year. The Medieval Sophia’s intellectual property belongs to the Officina di Studi Medievali that has started a project based on the use of new publishing technologies, a tool in step with the times, that is managed in an agile way and has a wide international circulation. Mediaeval Sophia’s approach is consistent with the more than thirty years of scientific, cultural, educational and editorial commitment of the Officina di Studi Medievali, that is, a noticeable interest in the connections between the different traditions of medieval culture in the Mediterranean areas, in a chronological period between the Early Middle Ages and the 15th century. In the section Studia, we publish essays that concern medieval topics, equipped by abstracts and keywords, in the language of the essay and in English, and by a short biography of the author. In the section Focus, we give space to essays that analyse a single theme. In the end, the section Lecturae offers reviews of the most recent publications. All the issues of Mediaeval Sophia can be consulted and downloaded freely. The journal has an International Scientific Committee. Both the articles in the Studia section and those in the Focus section undergo double-blind evaluation by two expert referees. The journal is open to contributions both from academics who work in national and international universities and research centres, and from young scholars, especially PhDs and postdocs, in the belief that only a free and open confrontation of opinions and a cooperation without prejudice can bring about the advancement of knowledge, and mark new and useful results in research.
