Vincent of Beauvais Newsletter

Scholars who are interested into Vincent of Beauvais' oeuvre and its Fortleben are wellcome to subscribe to the free Vincent of Beauvais Newsletter.

Gregory G. Guzman started to edit the (printed) Vincent of Beauvais Newsletter in the fall of 1976. As from issue 35 (2010), Hans Voorbij and Eva Albrecht continued the Newsletter, in digital format only.

Each issue of the Vincent of Beauvais Newsletter presents a Feature Article, information on recent publications, abstracts of PhD’s, listing of papers presented at congresses and symposiums and various news items dealing with Vincent of Beauvais. From issue 35 on, the editors added a section “Digital News”, since more and more information relevant to Vincent scholars is becoming available online, the digital format in some cases being the only existing format.
