Call for papers for a Special Issue on the subject of “The Medieval Crusades History" for "Religions" (Open Access Journal by MDPI) (original) (raw)

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue on the subject of “The Medieval Crusades History”, a hotly debated topic that involves scholars from different fields and countries. This Special Issue aims to explore the complex history of the Latin East during the medieval period, with special reference to the cultural, economic, and political relationships between East and West, without forgetting the influences on the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic world during the XI–XV centuries. We welcome submissions from scholars working in various disciplines, including medieval history, literary and philological studies, art history, archeology and material culture, and Islamic, Hebrew, and Byzantine studies. We encourage submissions that offer interdisciplinary perspectives and engage with the current historiographical debate. We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 300-500 words summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the Guest Editor (luigi. russo@unier.it), or to the Religions editorial office (religions@mdpi.com).
