Florilegium is an international, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the study of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages (c. 500-1500) broadly defined from a geographic and cultural perspective. We invite submissions of regular articles as well as short articles on topics of interest to the members (e.g., medieval resources, methods, etc.) for regular issues. We are currently accepting submissions for general volumes, and we are currently seeking proposals for a special issue on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility in the Middle Ages and Medieval Studies. 

Scholarship from all related disciplines and conceptual/theoretical frameworks is welcome; interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged.  The journal is particularly interested in research that addresses non-western traditions and perspectives, as well as work that focuses on marginalized communities and/or issues.

Enquiries about the suitability of a proposed topic and proposals for special issues or clusters are most welcome: those interested should contact the editor directly at florilegium@utpress.utoronto.ca.

Submissions are refereed double-blind by international and Canadian specialists. Manuscripts submitted for consideration must not contain any indication of authorship. First published in 1979, Florilegium is the journal of the Canadian Society of Medievalists / Société canadienne des médiévistes. Contributors need not be members of the society.

Manuscripts, written in English or French, should be submitted electronically as Microsoft Word documents to the electronic journal management system: https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/flor. Articles should normally not exceed 8,000-9,000 words, including footnotes and bibliography, and should be formatted according to Chicago style. The journal also welcomes short articles on topics of interest to the members (e.g., notes on resources, review essays, and editions of primary sources, etc.). Papers may be written in either English or French. A brief abstract (one or two sentences) should be included with the submission.

Call for Papers: A Special Issue of Florilegium, Dedicated to EDIA in the Middle Ages and Medieval Studies 
Florilegium is an international, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the study of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages (c. 500-1500) broadly defined from a geographic and cultural perspective. 

The journal is currently seeking proposals for a special issue devoted to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Middle Ages and in Medieval Studies, to be guest edited by Donna Trembinski and Michael Kightley. 

• The issue is open to non-traditional forms and genres of scholarly publication. 
• The issue will be published in print and open access online. 
• The digital format will adhere to principles of universal design. 

Send any enquiries to edia.florilegium@gmail.com. 

The work of this edition will recognize that: 

• The discipline of Medieval Studies has a long history of exclusion of scholars of colour (particularly Black and Indigenous scholars), women scholars, LGBTQ2+ scholars, scholars with disabilities, and others. 
• The discipline has created a culture that is resistant, even hostile, to research on EDIA issues in the Middle Ages. 
• The harms from this history and this culture are ongoing today. 

We define EDIA broadly, including but not limited to diversities of ability, accessibility, age, cultural tradition, gender, geography or region, race and ethnicity, religion, sexuality, and socioeconomic background. We are interested in proposals including but not limited to: 

• The Global Middle Ages; 
• Medieval Studies scholarship and community, past and present; 
• Teaching the Middle Ages; 
• Medievalism 

Moreover, we are particularly interested in proposals from underrepresented voices and on scholarship that works to redress the past and ongoing inequities in the discipline of Medieval Studies, whether in publication or in the classroom. 

Submission instructions: 

• Please send a short abstract for your proposed paper as detailed below. 
• Contributors need not be members of the Canadian Society of Medievalists / Société canadienne des médiévistes. 
• Email proposals to edia.floriliegium@gmail.com by May 15, 2024. 
• Proposals should be approximately 500 words in .doc or .pdf formats. 
• The review of proposals will be anonymized: please include your name and contact information in your submission email but not in the proposal filename or file itself 

• Proposals will be reviewed by May 30, 2024. 
• For accepted proposals, we hope to have completed articles by October 15, 2024. 
• Manuscripts, written in English or French, should be submitted electronically as Microsoft Word documents to the journal management system. Articles should normally not exceed 8,000-9,000 words, including footnotes, and should be formatted according to Chicago style. A brief abstract (one or two sentences) should be included with the submission.
