Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations
Launched in 2002, the Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations series is engaged in
an ambitious long-term project: to build a library of medieval Latin texts, with English
translations, from the period roughly between 500 and 1500, which will represent the
whole breadth and variety of medieval civilization. Thus, the series is open to all
subjects and genres, ranging from poetry and history through philosophy, theology,
and rhetoric to treatises on natural science. It will include, as well, medieval Latin
versions of Arabic and Hebrew works. Placing these texts side by side, rather than
dividing them in terms of the boundaries of contemporary academic disciplines, will,
it is hoped, contribute to a better understanding of the complex coherence and interrelatedness
of the many facets of medieval written culture.
Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations is made possible through a transatlantic collaboration
between the University of Dallas, which houses the editorial offices of the series,
and Peeters of Louvain, which produces it in handsome volumes that are designed to
last.
As of June 2013, nineteen volumes have been published; about twenty more are under
contract.
