Dear Sir or Madam
Fons Luminis, the student run journal at the Centre for Medieval Studies in the University of Toronto, is pleased to announce s new CFP for their upcoming 2015 open issue. Would you be so kind as to circulate it through your list serve?

*Fons Luminis Call for Papers*
*“Using and Creating Digital Medievalia”*
Fons Luminis, a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal edited and produced annually by graduate students at the Centre for Medieval Studies in the University of Toronto
provides a forum in which to address, challenge, and explore the content and
methodologies of our various home disciplines. We invite current graduate students to
submit papers relating in some way to the 2015 journal theme, “Using and Creating
Digital Medievalia.”
Since the mid-twentieth century, computing has been and continues to be a major factor
in the medievalist’s research. From Father Busa’s creation of the Index Thomasticus in
the 1940’s to current library and archival digitization projects, computational methods are essential aspects of the medievalist’s occupation. Papers are encouraged to address:
medievalist use of digitally stored information; social scientists and librarians as creators and/or curators of knowledge about the Middle Ages; future directions of digital humanities; the importance of digital humanities to work in paleography, codicology, diplomatics, and text editing.
Articles may also focus on topics including (but not limited to) mapping and space, the
impact of digitization on concepts of the archive, and digital tools in teaching.
Contributions may take the form of a scholarly essay or focus on the study of a particular manuscript. Articles must be written in English, follow the 16th edition (2010) of The Chicago Manual of Style, and be at least 4,000 words in length, including footnotes. Quotations in the main text in languages other than English should appear along with their English translation.
As usual, we continue to accept other submissions on any aspect of medieval studies and welcome longer review articles (approximately 1,500 words) on recent or seminal works in medieval studies.Submissions must be received by July 1, 2014 in order to be considered for publication.Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to edsfl@chass.utoronto.ca mailto:edsfl@chass.utoronto.ca.
