Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures has been in continuous publication for over forty years.

The journal chiefly publishes peer-reviewed essays on mystical and devotional texts, especially but not exclusively of the Western Middle Ages.

In its current form, the journal seeks to expand its areas of focus to include the relationship of medieval religious cultures outside Europe.

The journal also publishes book reviews and disseminates information of interest to all those who by profession, vocation, or inclination are interested in mysticism and the Middle Ages.
