Current Issue
This new issue of Medievalista shares everyone’s concerns about the future of science funding in Portugal and opens with an evocation of the indispensable figure of António Borges Coelho, who recently passed away. It is followed by a set of articles addressing a wide diversity of topics: from troubadour poetry and music to Anglo-Saxon literature, from the texts of William of Ockham to hagiographic and travel narratives, also including beekeeping and its importance to the life of medieval communities.
As usual, the issue also includes several reviews of recent publications, research notes, and news of international colloquia and recently completed projects, as well as the edition of an unpublished medieval poem on the death of a knight.
