The Centre for the Study of Medicine and the Body in the Renaissance (CSMBR) is seeking proposals for the series PALGRAVE STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN MEDICINE, edited by Professor Jonathan Barry (University of Exeter, United Kingdom) and Dr Fabrizio Bigotti (Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany).

Palgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine is a series sponsored by the Centre for the Study of Medicine and the Body in the Renaissance (CSMBR), Pisa which provides an outlet for academic monographs and edited collections devoted to the history of medicine in the period 1100-1800. The series will pay particular attention to intellectual history and history of ideas, including the history and philosophy of science, medicine and technology, history of medical institutions, medical biographies as well as mutual bearings between medical humanities and the arts (including music and architecture). Further topics include history of medical traditions and practices, philosophy of medicine and publications of medical correspondences and archival documents. The emphasis of the series lies on European and Western cultures widely construed, including interactions with, and borrowings from other cultures/traditions around the Mediterranean, especially Arabic and Hebrew. The Editors will also welcome proposals for commented translations (if particularly relevant, even on a large scale) of medical and scientific texts into English (examples of original languages accepted are Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Syriac, as well as European vernaculars).

Starting from 2020, Palgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine will host a section with books from young authors selected under the international scheme Santorio Award for Excellence in Research, which will award three of the best PhD theses in history of medicine and science with a cash prize a medal, a certificate and the opportunity to publish in the new series.
