Viator, the Center's scholarly journal, now in its thirty-eighth year, publishes articles of distinction in any field of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, viewed broadly as the period between late antiquity and the mid-seventeenth century. In keeping with its title, the journal gives special consideration to articles that cross frontiers: articles that focus on meetings between cultures, that pursue an idea through the centuries, that employ the methods of different disciplines simultaneously.
Beginning in 2007 with volume 38, Viator will appear twice annually. Volume 38, no. 1 (Spring 2007) can be ordered from Brepols Publishers in Belgium: publishers@brepols.com. Volume 38, no. 2 (Fall 2007) is available October 2007.
Editorial Board: Christopher Baswell (English), Jean-Claude Carron (French and Francophone Studies), Sharon Gerstel (Art History), Susan McClary (Musicology), Richard H. Rouse (History), Geoffrey Symcox (History).
Editorial Consultants: Courtney M. Booker (University of British Columbia), Maryanne Cline Horowitz (Occidental College), Chris Jones (University of Canterbury, Christchurch), Cary J. Nederman (Texas A&M University), Kristen Lee Over (Northeastern Illinois University), and Gabrielle M. Spiegel (Johns Hopkins University).
