David R. Blumenthal Prize in Medieval Jewish Studies

Brill, the international scholarly publisher, announces The David R. Blumenthal Prize in Medieval Jewish Studies. The David Blumenthal Prize in Medieval Jewish Studies selection committee is soliciting book-length manuscripts in Jewish Studies that utilize historical, literary, and philological methods for the study of Jewish life in the Islamic world as well as medieval Jewish Studies generally.

Named for the eminent scholar David R. Blumenthal of Emory University, long-time editor of the Études sur le judaïsme medieval (EJM) series at Brill, the prize-winning manuscript will be published in the EJM series. The prize winner will also receive $500 cash and $500 in book credits from Brill. Brill particularly encourages junior scholars to submit manuscripts for this prize; nominations for the prize may be submitted by scholars on their own behalf

To be considered for the prize, complete manuscripts must be submitted by 1 June 2022 to Brill’s Associate Editor, Emma de Looij at Emma.deLooij@brill.com. The winner of the prize will be announced at the Association of Jewish Studies meeting in December 2022
