About the Journal

The Journal Miscelánea de Estudios Árabes y Hebraicos. Sección Árabe-Islam (MEAH-AI) is a pioneering and leading publication in the field of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Spain. Interdisciplinary in nature, it covers topics related to Arabic and Islamic culture, history, literature and philosophy, from the Middle Ages to the present day. The journal provides an open and rigorous academic space for the dissemination and analysis of research exploring both the Classical period (al-Andalus and the East) and the Modern and Contemporary periods.

The Journal Miscelánea de Estudios Árabes y Hebraicos. Sección Árabe-Islam (MEAH-AI) has a rich history. It originated as the former Miscelánea de Estudios Árabes y Hebraicos. Fascículo 1º (MEAH. Fascículo 1º), a publication specialising in Arabic studies, which was published from 1958 (volume VII) to 1993-1994 (volumes XLII-XLIII). This publication was complemented by Fascículo 2º, which was dedicated to Hebrew studies.

Both sections derive from the first version of the journal, also entitled Miscelánea de Estudios Árabes y Hebraicos (MEAH), which was first published in 1952 (volume I) as a supplement to the Boletín de la Universidad de Granada. In this first stage, the journal covered both Arabic and Hebrew studies in a single volume. This initial format was maintained until 1957 (volume VI), when the journal was divided to better address each discipline separately.
