Call for Submissions to
Opuscula: Short Texts of the Middle Ages and Renaissance
About the Journal
Opuscula is a new high-quality peer-reviewed, on-line journal/text
series published by Classical, Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the
University of Saskatchewan and specializing in short texts of the Middle
Ages and Renaissance. We seek submissions from scholars of a wide
variety of disciplines and will include a diverse range of texts,
including literature, philosophy, letters, charters, court documents,
and notebooks.
The goal of the journal is to establish open access to a substantial
body of small but complete texts in scholarly editions to researchers
and educators. Our first issue will be published in September 2010.
Submissions
Editions should generally be based on single witnesses although critical
editions may be considered. Where texts are not English, translations
may be appropriate but are not necessary. Texts should generally be
under 6000 words in length, and each must be accompanied by an
introduction in English of approximately 1500 words that provides
historical, literary, and bibliographic context and codicological and
palaeographic (or typographic) description. New editions of previously
edited pieces may be considered but only if there are compelling reasons.
All submissions will be subject to a double-blind review process and
submissions for review must include facsimiles of any base manuscripts.
