The Medieval Institute, founded in 1946, coordinates the teaching and research of the largest contingent of medievalists of any North American university. Faculty and students explore together the cultures and experiences of the peoples of the Arab, Jewish, Latin and Orthodox medieval worlds.
The Institute has traditional strengths in philosophy, theology, religious and intellectual history, the history of universities, and manuscript studies. In recent years, the Institute has enlarged its focus to include literature in the vernaculars, especially Old and Middle English, Latin literature, Dante studies, musicology, liturgy, medieval Judaism and Islam, and art history.
