The Yearbook/Jahrbuch of the Simon Dubnow Institute, with articles in English and German, addresses an international scholarly readership. Reflecting the research agenda of the Simon Dubnow Institute for Jewish History and Culture, the yearbooks center on topics in the history of the Jews in East and West, as part of universal history. Of especial interest are the Jewries within the old continental empires of Russia, the Habsburgs and the Ottomans, whose history is instructive for revealing transitions from the pre-modern era to modernity. The Yearbook/Jahrbuch brings together a variety of methods and sub-fields in historiography, ranging from diplomatic and political history to social and legal history, the history of science and history of memory. Further information and the tables of contents of previous volumes are available via the home page of the Institute (www.dubnow.de > publications > Yearbook/Jahrbuch).
The Yearbook is assisted by an advisory board of respected scholars in the field. Its scientific format and careful preparation are distinguishing features of the Yearbook, putting it in the best tradition of established series in the humanities. Its chief editor is the director of the Simon Dubnow Institute, Prof. Dan Diner. All manuscripts submitted will be peer-reviewed.
The editor and editorial staff invite submissions for volumes 6 (2007) and 7 (2008). Essays should be in the range of 20 pages, some 6–8,000 words. Proposals should be in abstract form (see below).
