This new issue of Medievalista shares the concerns of all regarding the future of science funding in Portugal and 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 themes: from troubadour poetry and music to Anglo-Saxon literature, from the texts of William of Ockham to hagiographic and travel narratives, as well as apiculture 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research notes, and news of international conferences and recently completed projects, as well as the edition of an unpublished medieval poem on the death of a knight.
