Medieval Studies at UT

Medieval Studies at the University of Texas draws upon the collaboration of medievalists in thirteen units of the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Fine Arts: the departments of Art and Art History, Asian Studies, Classics, English, French and Italian, Germanic Studies, History, Middle Eastern Studies, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Slavic and Eurasian Studies, Spanish and Portuguese, and the School of Music. Students may also receive assistance from faculty members in Architecture, Government, Law, Linguistics, and Theatre and Dance.

The University of Texas offers excellent research facilities for medievalists. The many libraries on campus (including the Perry-Castañeda Library, the Tarlton Law Library, the Fine Arts Library) hold some eight million volumes between them. The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center holds a significant collection of medieval manuscripts and visual images, including the Cardigan Chaucer, and has substantial holdings of early scholarly editions. The Ransom Center has on permanent exhibition a copy of the Gutenberg Bible.
