Bolded entries are those that had to be cut b/c they were not submitted or b/c no author could be found. Italicized entries are long overdue and probably lost.

The castle represents the published Handbook, the group of ladies and lords represents the contributors, and I would like to claim to be the guy wearing the red head-gear as the guide to the ultimate goal.

Introduction:

This is an outline of the planned Handbook of Medieval Studies to be published by de Gruyter (Berlin and New York). Assignment of entries is currently ongoing, and if you are interested, please contact the editor (see above.  This Handbook does not have the ambition to cover the entire Middle Ages from a historical, or cultural perspective, since it does not aim to be an encyclopedia, or dictionary, of the Middle Ages, and does not want to compete with similar enterprises, such as Lexikon des Mittelalters.  The purpose, by contrast, is to provide an extensive survey of major concepts, methods, theories, critical approaches, key terms, textual genres (in its widest possible definition), and major figures in medieval scholarship. The German term for this would be: Forschungsbericht. I cannot emphasize this enough that all entries are primarily intended to provide a historical overview of the relevant research in each area. As the title indicates, this is supposed to be a handbook, that is, a pragmatic tool for medievalists in all sub-disciplines as a reference work which will provide compact and critical information about the fundamental aspects of our field, that is, the history of research.  The reader should gain an extensive understanding of where and how Medieval Studies began and how they developed in theoretical and pragmatic terms over the last two hundred years.  Any suggestions as to expand the list, to refine specific terms, or to consider any kinds of alternatives are most welcome.  (Names in brackets following the entry title indicate that this entry is already assigned). Preliminarily, I anticipate the first group of entries to consist of max. 4000-5000 words, the second of max. 3000 words, the third of max. 2000 words, and the fourth of max. 1000 words.

Absolute and final deadline for submission: Jan. 15, 2009.

Entries that have already been submitted will be marked with **

If anyone notices a topic not yet covered, please let me know.

EDITING: Here is a list of common errors or things that need to be changed (often I do the changes myself, but if they become too many, I’ll return the article to the author requesting help):

    * comma or period after the title of a journal, must be deleted
    * round brackets within round brackets: change to square brackets, esp. when ref. to an article published in a journal, cited within round brackets
    * Biblical or Rabbinical or Islamic always capitalized as thus
    * titles of books and journals: always in italics; subtitles separated by colon
    * titles of articles followed by: ,”  then an ‘in’ must not appear here
    * all punctuations within the quotation marks
    * possessive ‘s’ not in small caps
    * sequences of years are always written out: 1928-1930
    * sequences of pages only partly, if in triple or higher digits, the first in the second number is dropped: e.g. 104-06; but: 44-48, or: 1-9
    * ed. always after the title, followed by the editor’s name. Always: ed., not eds. or edn.
    * not München or Wien, but Munich and Vienna, and so also: Cologne
    * for rough time estimates: ca. (c. is reserved for centuries)
    * in French titles, the first word after a definite article is capitalized: Le Nom
    * in English titles, all meaningful words are capitalized
    * no comma before a round bracket (e.g., for a reference to a book title:  ZfdA 84 (2002): 16-32
    * within the text: no cities or publishers for books, but both must be cited in the bibliography (e.g.: Leiden, Cologne, and Vienna: Brill, 1998), 44-48
    * first names must be written out, if possible, last names of scholars in small caps (not capital letters)
    * final bibliography consists of max. 10-12 titles, everything else within the text. Here, first names appear before last names, e.g.: Jaroslav Pelikan, Historical Theology: Continuity and Change in Christian Doctrine (New York: Corpus, Philadelphia: Westminster,  London: Hutchinson, 1971).
