The Institute of Medieval Studies (IEM-NOVA FCSH), in partnership with the Centre of Religious History Studies (UCP-CEHR), promotes the International Seminar on Medieval Religious History, which thus resumes, with a new format and scope, the tradition of the previous cycles of the Medieval Religious History Seminar, interrupted in 2013.

In 2021/2022, and in coordination with the PEREGRINATIO Research Network for the Study of Pilgrimage in the Middle Ages in Portugal, the Seminar will adopt “Shrines, Relics and Pilgrimages” as its general theme.

The sessions take place on the first Thursday of each month, at 6 p.m., by Zoom and are open to all interested parties.

The 6 January Conference, entitled Le Temple et le culte marial au long du chemin de Saint-Jacques: la commanderie de Villalcázar de Sirga au XIIIe siècle, is given by Prof. Philippe Josserand (Université de Nantes).
