This contains details of our new and forthcoming publications up to and including June 2021. The vast majority of our publications are available both in print and as eBooks (please check the bibliographic information at the bottom of each page for more information). As a general rule, our eBooks retail at the same price as our print books, and are made available online at the same time or just after the release of the printed book. You can fi nd our eBooks and eJournals online at www.brepolsonline.net. If you are purchasing on behalf of a library, you may also be interested in fi nding out more about our eBook Collections, all of which provide a ‘Collection discount’. In addition to our full eBook collection (which provides libraries with c. 100 eBooks per year), we also offer more specialized packages such as our Medieval Collection and Miscellany Collection, as well as providing the opportunity for you to pick and choose your own collection. Please consult our website at www.brepols.net for an up-to-date list of titles, and do not hesitate to contact us on [email protected] for a further information or a price quotation. Conferences Due to the ongoing covid pandemic, most of the academic and library conferences that Brepols usually attends in the spring will take place virtually. We try to participate in these online alternatives as fully as possible. An overview of the most important congresses can be found on our website.
