Frequently Asked Questions
What is "Mediaeval Antiquity" about?
The contributions here assembled originate from papers read to the colloquium on Mediaeval Antiquity which was organized, from 28 to 30 May 1990, by the 'Instituut voor Middeleeuwse studies' at KU Leuven.
Who wrote "Mediaeval Antiquity"?
"Mediaeval Antiquity" was written by Andries Welkenhuysen.
Is "Mediaeval Antiquity" part of a series?
Yes, "Mediaeval Antiquity" is part of the "Mediaevalia Lovaniensia" series. It's book 24 in the series.
The longstanding, peer-reviewed book series Mediaevalia Lovaniensia. Studies in Medieval History, Society, and Culture publishes high-quality scholarship on the history and culture of the Middle Ages (c. 500–1550). Topics of particular interest to the series include, but are not limited to, social behaviour and power relations in medieval society, processes of identity formation, religious and urban culture, medieval thought and literature, and gender history. The series focuses on Europe and the wider Mediterranean world and is particularly rich in interdisciplinary approaches. By means of monographs and edited volumes, the series explores thematic frontiers and embraces innovative methodological approaches in historical and philological scholarship that is based on an in-depth source-based study.
Mediaevalia Lovaniensia accepts monographs as well as thematically coherent volumes in English. Moreover, it offers scholars the possibility to publish critical editions of primary texts with broader relevance to the understanding of medieval culture and society. The series aspires to publish books that have the potential to become reference works in the field of Medieval Studies.
We encourage early career (postdoctoral) researchers to submit a reworked version of their PhD thesis to this series. Leuven University Press provides authors with two publishing scenarios: traditional (non-Open Access) and the option to publish in Open Access (including language editing).
