The book series Studia Augustana documents the heuristic, editorial and substantive processing of the materials collected in Augsburg. Despite the great differences in the types of investigation conducted, the wealth of material contained in Augsburg's libraries and archives guarantees that the research will make a substantial contribution to illuminating the history of European culture between the Late Middle Ages and the 18th century.
The series is open to all researchers to publish studies on the stocks held in libraries and archives in Augsburg.
The Studia Augustana provide a forum for literary and intermedial research. The series focuses on the intersection between the late Middle Ages, the early modern period and early modernity, periods which correspond to the cultural-historical significance of Augsburg. As the site of the Religious Peace of 1555, the city offers an ideal, exemplary setting for communication processes of all kinds. In this series, the exchange between the cultures and denominations of the West and the East, from Spain to Byzantium, from South America to Russia, is examined from an interdisciplinary perspective.
