Author Description

This series is a successor to Brill's Medieval Iberian Peninsula series which sought to provide a forum for the publication of scholarly work--original monographs, article collections, editions of texts or documents, translations--on the peoples and cultures of medieval Christian, Jewish, and Islamic Iberia. While maintaining these previous interests, the new series expands chronologically to include studies of late Roman and Visigothic Iberia and especially studies of early modern Iberia and the Iberian World (1500-1800), including colonial experiences in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The series publishes works covering the full linguistic and literary diversity of Iberian history, including the Arabic, Castilian, Catalan, Hebrew, Latin, and Portuguese traditions. It welcomes studies employing diverse forms of analysis and from all scholarly disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology and numismatics, art history, history (cultural, social, and economic as well as institutional, political, and intellectual), linguistics, literature, music, philosophy, and religious studies.The series is aimed at readers with interests in late antiquity, the Middle Ages (the Mediterranean, North Africa, Judaism, the Muslim World and Iberia), the history of European expansion, and the colonial Americas. 2-3 volumes of 200-350 pages are published in the series each year (specialist monographs and syntheses, but also multi-authored contributions such as conference proceedings, and thematic issues, and source translations and edited texts)
