The first phase of the retrospective online publication of thirty-eight scholarly print editions of the Medieval Academy of America. (24 months)

The Medieval Academy of America published 38 scholarly editions among the 105 titles in its main book series, Medieval Academy Books, between 1925 and 2001. All of the texts date from the Middle Ages (ca. A.D. 500-1500) and originated in Europe or North Africa. They were written in Latin or in one of the various vernacular languages of the period: Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, and Welsh are all represented. All of the texts are of lasting value in understanding medieval culture. Grapevine Publishing Services of Madison, Wisconsin, will produce searchable digital ditions of these works. The Academy will make the digital editions available permanently on its Web site free of charge to all noncommercial users.
