Opuscula: Short Texts of the Middle Ages and Renaissance

The Editorial Board of
Opuscula: Short Texts of the Middle Ages and Renaissance (OSTMAR)


is pleased to announce the official launch of its website.

We seek single-witness editions of Medieval and Renaissance texts under 6,000 words accompanied by a brief introduction (1000-1500 words) and translation. We invite submission of a broad range of pre-modern texts including but not limited to literary and philosophical works, letters, charters, court documents, and notebooks. Texts should be previously unedited and the edition must represent a discrete text in its entirety.

For more information or to view a sample edition, go to opuscula.usask.ca or write Frank Klaassen, General Editor at editor@opuscula.usask.ca.
