Confraternitas

About the Journal

Confraternitas is the refereed, biannual journal of the Society for Confraternity Studies (f. 1989) and is devoted to research on all aspects of medieval and early modern confraternities, religious guilds, hevrot, tariqa, and futuwwa.

Founded in 1990, the journal publishes scholarly articles and reviews, and shares information of interest to its communities. The journal also publishes special issues to present a more sustained examination of specific topics and new directions in the field.  

The journal is comprehensive and inclusive in its support of confraternity studies. Accordingly, we welcome, for example, work that is inter/trans disciplinary; local, regional, or global in scope; and also that explores connections to modern institutional fraternalism.
