Dumbarton Oaks Papers


The Dumbarton Oaks Papers journal was founded in 1941 for the publication of articles relating to Byzantine society and culture from the 4th to 15th century in the Roman Empire and its neighboring states. The journal treats sources in medieval Greek, as well as other premodern languages, such as Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Latin, Old Church Slavonic, and Syriac.
Publication was suspended during World War II, resuming in 1946 irregularly at first, and eventually published annually by the mid-1950s.
