The Society for Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy was founded in December 1978 to foster research and teaching in the field, to organize scholarly meetings and conferences, to publish a newsletter and a monograph series, and to cooperate with other learned societies in projects of common interest.

The Society will consider a subvention for any high quality work in Medieval and Renaissance philosophy for which the author and publisher can demonstrate a need for financial assistance.

For a list many of these conference go to Conferences  and for a list of Call for Papers go to Calls.

The International Charles de Bovelles Society

"The International Charles de Bovelles Society" (IChBS) was called into being at the RSA Conference in Los Angeles earlier this year. The founding members are Tamara Albertini, University of Hawai'i (President), tamaraa@hawaii.edu, Michele Ferrari, University of Toronto (Vice-President) michelpvferrari@gmail.com, Richard Trowbridge, Bryant & Stratton College, rht@wisdomcenteredlife.org (Treasurer), and Cesare Catà, University of Macerata, Italy cesareintower@libero.it (Secretary). This society with current representatives in the U.S., Canada, France, and Italy promotes research on Charles de Bovelles (1479-1567), a French Renaissance philosopher profoundly inspired by Dionysius Areopagita and Ramon Llull, whose ties with Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples also put him in touch with the works of Nicholas of Cusa, Marsilio Ficino, and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Members of the "IChBS" are about to publish an English translation of Bovelles' Liber de Sapiente (1511) and preparing a special issue for Intellectual History Review to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the publication of De Sapiente. A Web Site should be ready by Spring 2010. "IChBS" plans to organize panels on Charles de Bovelles alternately for the annual International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo and the RSA Conferences. A panel entitled "French Renaissance Philosopher Charles de Bovelles: Mathematics and Things Divine" will be offered at the upcoming RSA Conference in Venice, April 8-10, 2010. Interested scholars are welcome to contact any of the board members for more information.
