Sponsored Monograph

The Publications Committee of the
Society has both a publishing arrangement with The Catholic University of America Press and funding available to subsidize the publication of significant scholarly works in medieval or Renaissance philosophy. The Committee especially seeks mature and distinctly philosophical treatments of texts, figures, periods, or problems.

Although we wish to encourage young scholars, we will not consider unrevised doctoral dissertations. Since we are looking for philosophical monographs, we will not at the present time consider text editions or translations of Latin texts.
