Knowing is the origin and source of writing well.
Scribendi recte sapere est et principium et fons.

Euphrosyne welcomes original research articles that offer meaningful contributions to Greek and Roman literature, philology, and culture, Byzantine and Medieval studies, and Neo-Latin Humanism. Classical reception studies are welcome, provided they focus on subjects with a clear Nachleben of Classical, Byzantine, or Medieval authors and themes. Submissions in this area must offer new insights into the ancient and medieval evidence under discussion and highlight their influence or reinterpretation in modern or contemporary contexts.

General guidelines for authors
Euphrosyne welcomes original research articles that significantly contribute to the fields of Greek and Roman literature, philology, and culture as well as Byzantine and Medieval studies, Neo-Latin Humanism, and classical reception.
We do not accept articles whose primary objective lies in outreach and/or in providing a general overview of a topic, unless they reach valuable conclusions for scholarly reflection on specific authors, texts, or themes linked to the above-mentioned fields. Additionally, studies on modern and contemporary reception must address primarily the afterlife or legacy (Nachleben) of classical, byzantine, and medieval authors and themes, offering new insights into the ancient and medieval evidence under discussion.
