Description

The Hispanic Seminary of Medieval Studies (HSMS) was founded in 1975 by John J. Nitti and Lloyd A. Kasten, then professors of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The HSMS is a non-profit entity whose principal aim since its founding days was to provide open access to transcriptions of Old Spanish texts and the data that were being produced as a result of their on-going Dictionary of the Old Spanish Language (DOSL) project. Since then, the HSMS has grown to become one of the most important publishers of material in Hispano-medievalism and its related fields, making available at affordable prices scholarly research related to the early Ibero-Romance languages and literatures. This session seeks to bring together papers that have a direct filiation to the HSMS. Papers that represent the future direction of the HSMS are particularly encouraged.
