Guidelines for authors
Submissions
Submissions are invited in every area of the studies on the trasmission of philosophical and scientific texts from Classical antiquity to the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and early modern times. The language of publication is in practice English, although papers in French, German and Italian are also published; the articles must not exceed 10.000 words, including notes. All submissions must include an abstract.
Peer review
Studia graeco-arabica follows a double-blind peer review process. Authors should avoid putting their names in headers or footers or refer to themselves in the body or notes of the article; the title and abstract alone should appear on the first page of the article.
Manuscript preparation
Articles should be double-spaced throughout. Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, and Syriac scripts are allowed, provided that they conform with the Unicode standard.
Transliteration system:
a, ā b t ṯ ǧ ḥ ḫ d ḏ r z s š ṣ ḍ ṭ ẓ ʿ ġ f q k l m n h w, ū y, ī ʾ
ʿayn and hamza should be clearly distinguished from one another; initial hamza is dropped; the article al- is lower case except when it appears as the first word of a sentence or footnote.
