Dumbarton Oaks Papers, which has been a leading academic journal in the field of Byzantine Studies since 1941, has unveiled a new website where all of its issues are open-access and available to read for free.
Colin M. Whiting and Nikos D. Kontogiannis, the editor of Dumbarton Oaks Papers, explain that with dopapers.org “readers and potential authors can find everything they need here, from past issues to author guidelines to the composition of our editorial board. This new home serves as a convenient place for all information related to the journal, and we encourage visitors to browse around.”
The articles themselves are being hosted on the massive open-source platform Archive.org, and cover all aspects of the Byzantine world plus other medieval areas. Here are ten of our favourites:
Przemysław Marciniak, “Byzantine Cultural Entomology (Fourth to Fifteenth Centuries): A Microhistory of Byzantine Insects” – from Volume 77 (2023)
