Le Moyen Âge et les sciences edited by Danielle Jacquart and Agostino Paravicini Bagliani

Since the appearance of its first volume in 1993, Micrologus, a periodical published by the Società Internazionale per lo Studio del Medioevo Latino (SISMEL) under the editorial aegis of Agostino Paravicini Bagliani, has developed into a significant forum for historical scholarship on medieval ideas about/approaches bearing on the natural world and their social settings—as indicated in the subtitle Nature, Sciences and Medieval Societies.

Its entries have included proceedings volumes, single-author essay collections, textual editions, and a few monographs
