Aims and scope

The Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies is a leading interdisciplinary journal for groundbreaking scholarship on the multiple languages, cultures, and historical processes of the Iberian Peninsula, and the zones with which it was in contact. We encourage submission of all innovative scholarship of interest to the community of medievalists and Iberianists. JMIS aims to bring theoretically informed approaches into creative contact with more empirically minded research. It encompasses archaeology, art and architecture, music, philosophy and religious studies, as well as history, codicology, manuscript studies, and the multiple Arabic, Latin, Romance, and Hebrew linguistic and literary traditions of Iberia. We welcome work that engages peninsular Iberia in relation to other parts of the medieval world, addressing links with the Maghreb, Iberia’s presence in the Mediterranean, or adopting an Atlantic frame. JMIS is published three times a year, with occasional special issues or thematic clusters.
