Viator, the Center's scholarly journal, now in its thirty-ninth 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.
Viator currently appears twice annually. Volume 39, no. 1 (Spring 2008) and Volume 39 no. 2 can be ordered from Brepols Publishers in Belgium: publishers@brepols.com. Beginning in 2010, Viator will be published in three issues per year: two issues will contain articles in English, and one will contain articles in French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
