Lias (Dutch for sheaf or file; French: liasse) is a biannual double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal covering the history of learning and education in a very broad sense. It is subtitled Journal of Early Modern Intellectual Culture and its Sources.

History

Lias was established in 1974 by a group of Dutch and Belgian scholars, and subtitled Sources and Documents relating to the Early Modern History of Ideas. The aim was to provide a platform for the edition and study of primary sources of relatively small size pertaining to the cultural and intellectual history of Early Modern Europe.[1] Until 2010, Lias was published by Academic Publishers Associated. The journal appears twice a year, with occasional double-issues. Back-issues of the journal up till 2004 are freely available.[2] The majority of the articles in the first 36 issues concentrated on texts from, or relating to, the Low Countries. In 2010, Lias was taken over by a new publisher, Peeters Academic Publishing. Lias appears on the "initial list" of history journals in the European Reference Index of the Humanities of the European Science Foundation.[3]

Scope

Lias covers the periods from Early Humanism (the fourteenth century) to the late Enlightenment (the early nineteenth century). It prints source texts in their original languages without restrictions. However, introduction and footnotes must be written in English, although they may be in French for French sources. The journal also accepts studies based on neglected printed sources.

Editors

The current editors-in-chief are E. Jorink, D. van Miert, J. Papy, and S. Vanden Broecke.
