JOURNAL of LATE ANTIQUITY
The Johns Hopkins University Press
The Journal of Late Antiquity (JLA) is a multi-disciplinary
and inter-disciplinary journal covering the world of Late Antiquity, broadly defined, including the late Roman, western European, Byzantine, Sassanid, and Islamic worlds, ca. AD 250-800 (i.e. the late and post-classical world up to the Carolingian period). JLA also fills a serious void in the English-language scholarship, for there currently is no English-language journal devoted to Late Antiquity. JLA will provide space for scholarship dealing with both practical and theoretical issues and will bridge the gap between literary and material culture scholarship. JLA also will serve an advocacy role for late antique scholarship by providing not only a previously lacking publication venue for all late antique scholars but also a venue for emerging late antique scholars who have trouble finding the proper niche for publication. JLA will accommodate not only for medium and (if deemed particularly significant) longer length articles specifically devoted to original research, but also for brief notes discussing significant observations that might not otherwise find their way into the scholarship.
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Scholars of Late Antiquity are invited to submit previously unpublished material for consideration for publication in JLA. Contributions should have a clearly stated thesis and argument firmly based in the use of primary source material We particularly encourage submissions relating to the relationship between material culture and traditional literary sources. If there is a single theme that we would expect all of the contributions to manifest, it would be that in some manner they illuminate Late Antiquity as a discrete period with its own unique identifying characteristics.
Submissions may be forwarded in e-format (WORD or
WORDPERFECT) to
