he Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies publishes a variety of materials, from Viva Vox, its own newsletter, to journals and monographs. Some publications, such as Comitatus, present the work of graduate students and junior scholars, while other projects, such as Viator, publish the work of established scholars.

As of the academic year 1999-2000, the following is a list of the Center's publications, with contact information and hyperlinks when applicable:

Viator: Medieval and Renaissance Studies

Viator, the Center's highly respected scholarly journal, 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, and that employ the methods of different disciplines simultaneously. The journal appears once a year in September and can be ordered, at a price of approximately $50 per issue, from Viator's publisher, Brepols of Belgium. Now available on-line are abstracts from the most recent issue, volume 30 (1999). Address inquiries concerning subscriptions and back issues to Brepols N.V., Steenweg op Tielen 68, 2300 Turnhout (Belgium), or contact Brepols by e-mail. Manuscripts (of from fifteen to seventy pages) are accepted at any time and should be addressed to Managing Editor, Viator, Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, UCLA, Box 951485, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1485.

Repertorium Columbianum

The Repertorium Columbianum is a collection of contemporary sources relating to Christopher Columbus's four voyages. Each of the projected twelve volumes in this series will present important source texts by and about Columbus in their original languages, together with a translation into modern English and appropriate historical and philological commentary. The series will lay the foundation for a new generation of scholars in the field and make Columbus's life and voyages accessible to the general reader. This project is made possible by generous funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Ahmanson Foundation, Italy's Comitato Nazionale per le Celebrazioni del V Centenario della Scoperta dell'America, and Spain's Sociedad Estatal para la Ejecución de Programas del Quinto Centenario and Sociedad Cristóbal Colón.

The World of Dr. Francisco Hernández

The two substantial volumes that comprise The World of Dr. Francisco Hernández are in press. One volume contains English translations of texts written by Francisco Hernández (1515-87). The other contains essays by sixteen scholars who interpret the man, his achievement, and his contribution to the history of medicine and science.

Stanford University Press has not yet set a publication date for The World of Dr. Francisco Hernández. The project's web page will contain publication information as soon as we have any to post. Meanwhile, any comments and questions about the content are welcome. Please direct them to Simon Varey, (svarey@support.ucla.edu). A new series, inspired by this project, is now getting under way. Mexican Medical Classics, which is sponsored by UCLA's Center for the Study of Latino Health, will publish English editions of early works on medicine and public health published in Mexico. The series is in its infancy, as is its web page.
