Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations

Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations is a book series founded at the University of Dallas and currently co-sponsored by the University of Dallas and Maynooth University in Ireland. The series is published by Peeters,[1] a publishing house based in Leuven, Belgium. Modeled upon the Loeb Classical Library, the Dallas series has the goal "to build a library of medieval Latin texts, with English translations, from the period roughly between 500 and 1500, that will represent the whole breadth and variety of medieval civilization."[2] The editorial board of the series is composed of several medievalists from the University of Dallas and Southern Methodist University; Kelly Gibson[3] of the University of Dallas and Philipp W. Rosemann[4] from Maynooth serve as co-editors. Members of an international board of editorial advisers review manuscripts submitted to the series to ensure their quality.[5]

The first volume of the series appeared in 2002; as of November, 2022, twenty-nine volumes have been published,[6] while twenty more are in preparation.[7] In November, 2010, Harvard University Press launched a similar project, the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library. It is different from the Dallas series in that it also publishes texts in Byzantine Greek and Old English.
