In the last decade, the terms 'digital scholarship' and 'digital humanities' have become commonplace in academia, spurring the creation of fellowships, research centres, and scholarly journals. What, however, does this 'digital turn' mean for how you do scholarship as a medievalist? While many of us would never describe ourselves as 'DH people,' computer-based tools and resources are central to the work we do every day in offices, libraries, and classrooms. This volume highlights the exciting ways digital methods are expanding and re-defining how we understand, represent, and teach the Middle Ages, and provides a new model for how this work is catalogued and reused within the scholarly community. The work of its contributors offers valuable insights into how 'the digital' continues to shape the questions medievalists ask and the ways they answer them, but also into how those questions and answers can lead to new tools, approaches, and points of reference within the field of digital humanities itself.

In The Favor of Friends, Sean Gilsdorf explores the ideology and practice of intercession within early medieval aristocratic society.

While the tale of Roberto Busa and the Index Thomisticus has become an origin myth for Digital Medieval Studies, less attention has been paid to the critical role of the World Wide Web as a platform and impetus for this digital turn. This volume focuses on early Medieval Studies research created with, operating through, and dependent upon the internet itself, profiling ground-breaking projects that define the genres of internet-based scholarship we now take for granted, including sourcebooks, searchable databases, digital editions and corpora, and born-digital medieval scholarship. The collection reveals how internet-based products rely upon and support a more collaborative model of research, teaching, and learning in Medieval Studies than the more individualistic, discrete one that defined earlier work in the field. 

Queenship and Sanctity brings together for the first time in English the anonymous Lives of Mathilda and Odilo of Cluny's Epitaph of Adelheid. Richly annotated, with an extensive introduction placing the texts and their subjects in historical and hagiographical context, it provides teachers and students with a crucial set of sources for the history of Europe (particularly Germany) in the tenth and eleventh centuries, for the development of sacred biography and medieval notions of sanctity, and for the life of aristocratic and royal women in the early Middle Ages.

Because of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, the Medieval Academy of America held its Ninety-seventh Annual Meeting as a hybrid online and in-person conference at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville VA, on 10-13 March 2022. The Program in Medieval Studies at the University of Virginia was the host of the meeting, with the support and collaboration of colleagues from Virginia Tech, the College of William & Mary, and Washington and Lee University. Three new committees were seated this year, namely the Centennial Implementation Committee, the Development Committee, and Mentoring Programs Committee.
