We construe the subject of this issue broadly, and we are eager to receive submissions representing a variety of perspectives, methodologies, national or ethnic cultures, and disciplines. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): royal legislation, legal manuscripts, law in/and literature, legal procedure, charters and diplomatics, writs and wills, dispute resolution, theories of law and justice, canon law, editing medieval law, law and philosophy, perceptions of medieval law in later periods, law in/and art, international law, and intersections between medieval Asian and European legal traditions. We welcome traditional philological and historicist approaches, as well as those informed by modern critical theory. Prospective contributors should feel free to contact Andrew Rabin (andrew.rabin(a)louisville.edu) if they have any questions. Articles should be 7000 words including bibliography and endnotes, and conform to The Heroic Age's in-house style. Instructions may be found at http://www.heroicage.org/authors.html.

The Heroic Age is an on-line, peer-reviewed academic journal hosted by the Memorial University of Newfoundland. It focuses on Northwestern Europe during the early medieval period (from the late 4th through 11th centuries). We seek to foster dialogue between all scholars of this period across ethnic and disciplinary boundaries, including-but not limited to-history, archaeology, and literature pertaining to the period. -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities dporter(a)uky.edu 859-257-9549 ##### Editorial Assistant, REVEAL Project Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments porter(a)vis.uky.edu ***************************************
