Call for Submissions

The editorial staff for the single-volume Encyclopedia of Medieval Pilgrimage (Brill, forthcoming, 2009) is seeking contributors to write signed articles on all topics related to pilgrimage between the Late Antique and the Reformation.  Timeframe: 300-1500.   Articles range from 150 to 2000 words in length, and must be written in English.  Compensation (for longer contributions only) will be in the form of discounts on Brill volumes.  Below please find the lemmata list for the portions of the work handled by Rita Tekippe (rtekippe@westga.edu), the subject editor for Art & Architecture of Pilgrimage.    The volume will also cover economic, social and ritual aspects, canon law, geography, theology, literature. 

If you are interested in writing but do not see topics of interest to you on this portion of the lemmata list, please contact either Dr. Tekippe  or our executive editor, Dr. Larissa Taylor (ljtaylor@colby.edu), and we can cheerfully and speedily put you in contact with the appropriate subject editor.

 

Lemmata

The parenthetical numbers are the word lengths for the entries. Ultimately, the order will be alpha, so rearrangement is expected, of course.  So if the arrangement here has a certain logic, other logical connections or combinations of topics may suggest themselves to you and would be welcome as suggestions.
