Brill announces:

The Paul Gerhard Schmidt Award for 2013

The award is given in memory of Paul Gerhard Schmidt (1937-2010), a well liked and eminent scholar of Medieval and Renaissance Latin, who was for more than 25 years editor of Brill's series Mittellateinische Studien und Texte. The award is given for a distinguished new book on medieval or Renaissance Latin as defined in the scope of the series below.

 - Original scholarly monographs, as well as editions of Latin primary sources (with analytical interpretations or commentaries) are eligible; translations, anthologies, and collections of documents are not. Works may be in English or German (French only in combination with a Latin edition) and should be between 90,000 and 200,000 words in length.

- Books that employ new methodological or conceptual tools or that constitute significant reexaminations of important interpretive problems will be given preference. Literary merit is also an important criterion.

- Only completed manuscripts which are ready for review before June 15, 2012, are eligible for the 2013 award.

- Entries should be submitted in the first instance by email in the form of a short proposal or prospectus to the publisher, Julian Deahl (deahl [at] brill [dot] nl), before June 15, 2012.
