History

The International Society for the Study of Medieval Theology (Internationale Gesellschaft für Theologische Mediävistik e.V.) was established on 20 April 2002 in Frankfurt am Main/Germany. It has grown out of the Arbeitskreis Theologische Mediävistik, a Working group for Medieval Theology existing since 1997. The Society currently counts around 160 members from more than 20 countries worldwide.

Objectives

The aim of the Society  is to promote the exchange among scholars in the field of medieval theology for the benefit of both research and teaching. The Society represents the discipline at public, ecclesiastical and other bodies concerned with the organisation of scholarship. It cooperates with other research institutions, societies and associations enganged with research on the Middle Ages. It hopes to promote the cooperation of researchers within its own discipline and its parts, namely Church History, History of Theology (especially History of Exegesis, History of Spirituality, History of Liturgy, History of Canon Law and Sermon Studies) and with other related disciplines, especially Medieval History, Auxiliary Sciences, History of Philosophy, Art History, History of Music and History of Languages and Literature.

Events and Publications

The Society organizes an annual meeting and cooperates with its members in the hosting and organization of further congresses and publications. The Yearbook Archa Verbi and a series of Subsidia, published by Aschendorff-Verlag, have been founded in order to promote the discipline and research in all branches of the Study of Medieval Theology.

President and board

The current President of the Society is Prof. Dr. Volker Leppin (Tübingen). The other board members are currently Dr. Ursula Vones-Liebenstein (Köln/Frankfurt a. M.) as treasurer, Prof. Dr. Riccardo Quinto (Padua) as publication manager und Dr. Pavel Blažek (Prague) as secretary.
