In order to ensure the journal a wider international scope, Quaderni di storia religiosa, founded by
Giuseppina De Sandre Gasperini, Grado Giovanni Merlo and Antonio Rigon, has begun a new series
in cooperation with the Fondazione per le scienze religiose. While remaining loyal
to its monographic organisation, and dealing with themes of – mainly Medieval – religious history,
the journal will be open to comparative studies and perspectives that go beyond pre-established eras
and areas. It will continue to pay attention to people, above all in the study of archival sources, since
the latter always refer to real situations and people, both men and women, who experienced and bore
witness to their religious experiences.
