Peritia

Peritia is the journal of the Medieval Academy of Ireland. It is an annual peer-reviewed academic journal covering Celtic and Insular medieval studies in the context of the European Middle Ages and European medieval studies in general.

History
Founded and edited by Donnchadh Ó Corráin of University College Cork since the early 1980s until 2016, Ó Corráin passed on this role to fellow Professor of History Dáibhí Ó Cróinín of NUI Galway and Elva Johnston of University College Dublin. Ó Cróinín's work had featured in the first edition. Patrick Wormald also noted two "firsts" in English language scholarship in his review of that edition: Jonas's great life of Columbanus being given its first "sustained treatment" in the language (by Ian N. Wood) and a description of "the beginnings of hagiographical writing in Iceland".

The Irish Times has credited the journal with featuring the work of scholars who might elsewhere have been neglected.

Publication history
The journal is published by Brepols. It has been available since the early 1980s.
