CENTRAL EUROPEAN MEDIEVAL TEXTS
General editors: J. M. Bak, U. Borkowska, G. Constable, G. Jaritz, G. Klaniczay

CEMT was born out of renewed interest in Central (or East Central) Europe on the one hand and the difficulty to access the medieval narratives of the region, especially for those less fluent in Latin then older generations were, on the other. So far, we have been able to present texts from Bohemia, Croatia (Dalmatia), Hungary and Poland, and we hope to continue on this road. We print the best available critical edition of the original version, usually without full philological apparatus, but with extensive annotations to the translation for readers less familiar with the history and geography of the region. Financial restraints, well known to our readers everywhere in the academic world, have hindered us to keep to our original plan of publishing a volume a year, but we still hope to complete at least the first round of major narrative sources within the next five to six years.
