RECHERCHES DE THÉOLOGIE ANCIENNE ET MÉDIÉVALE. — A quarterly periodical, founded in Louvain under the auspices of the Abbey of Mont César in 1929.
The field selected for strictly scientific studies and contributions was intended to focus on the history of Western theology from the time of Tertullian to that of the Council of Trent (approximately 1560). Within these limits, the history of theology comprises the study of the religious doctrines of individual authors or of various periods, as well as problems of philosophy, history, and so forth that bear upon a religious doctrine. In addition to articles and notes, the journal offers unpublished texts, reviews of works, and an annual bulletin of publications issued on the subject.
