Edinburgh University Press and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology are pleased to announce the launch of a new journal, Journal of Late Antique, Islamic and Byzantine studies (JLAIBS).

Two of the three editors - Dr Petros Bouras-Vallianatos and Dr Yannis Stouraitis - are based within the School, as Wellcome Lecturer in History of Medicine and Lecturer  in Byzantine History, respectively.

Journal of Late Antique, Islamic and Byzantine studies

The journal aims to disseminate new approaches and methodologies that intend to transform the understanding of broader Late Antique and Medieval phenomena, such as knowledge transfer and cultural exchanges, by looking beyond single linguistic traditions or political boundaries. It will provide a forum for high-quality articles on the interactions and cross-cultural exchange between different traditions and of the so-called Byzantine Empire and the Islamic world. Thematically, the journal also welcomes submissions dealing individually with Late Antique, Byzantine and Islamic literature, history, archaeology, and material culture from the fourth to the fifteenth century. 

Submissions to JLAIBS

Articles should be written in English and can be up to 15,000 words in total length (i.e. including all footnotes, bibliography and any appendices). Submissions to Journal of Late Antique, Islamic and Byzantine Studies should be formatted in accordance with the full JLAIBS style guidelines, and sent as Word and PDF files to: jlaibs@ed.ac.uk
