PHILOSOPHY OF THE JOURNAL
Medieval Encounters is intended to promote discussion and dialogue across
cultural, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries about the
interactions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim culture during the period from
the fourth through the fifteenth centuries C.E. Culture is
defined in its widest form to include history, languages, literature,
medicine, music, philosophy, religion, science and art. The
geographic limits of inquiry will be bounded only by the limits in
which the three traditions interact and intersect. After
considerations of scholarly merit and contributions made to
knowledge, articles will be selected on the basis of how they promote our
understanding of Jewish, Christian and Muslim interactions in the
medieval period. Articles may deal with specific texts, events, or
phenomena as well as theories of interpretation and analysis. The
journal will actively promote a representative spread across all the
humanistic disciplines and from all scholarly communities. All
articles will be reviewed by members of the editorial board or by
such scholars as the editors choose to insure a fair and objective
evaluation of each contribution. In addition to articles, the journal
will publish reviews of significant books and monographs which fall
within the purview of the journal. The editors will strive to include a
short notice or a full review for all major works which are concerned
with the interactions of the three traditions. The goal is to provide a
handy reference of recent scholarly activity for those medievalists
involved in cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary research.
