It is with great pleasure that we announce the release of the latest issue of Medievalista (issue 39, January–June 2026). This new issue of Medievalista opens with an evocation of the seminal figure of António Borges Coelho, who has recently passed away. It is followed by a set of articles addressing a wide diversity of topics: from troubadour poetry and music to Anglo-Saxon literature, from the texts of Bernardim Ribeiro to hagiographic and travel narratives, as well as beekeeping and its importance to the life of medieval communities.

As usual, the issue also includes several reviews of recent publications, research notes, and news of international colloquia and recently completed projects, as well as the edition of an unpublished medieval poem on the death of a knight.
