                        CALL FOR PAPERS

THE JOURNAL:  
Since its inception in 1970 the Journal of Arabic Literature
has provided an international scholarly forum for the discussion of Arabic
literature.  The Journal publishes literary critical, comparative and
historical studies, as well as reviews and bibliographies, on a broad
range of Arabic material--classical and modern, written and oral, poetry
and prose, literary and colloquial.  Studies that seek to integrate Arabic
literature into the broader discourses of the humanities and social
sciences take their place alongside technical work of a more specialized
nature.  The Journal thus addresses itself to a readership in comparative
literature and literary theory and method, in addition to specialists in
Arabic and Middle Eastern literatures and Middle East studies generally. 

NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS:  
We invite you to contribute to the Journal.  Please send submissions to:
Editor for Islamic Studies, Brill Publishers, P.O. Box 9000, 2300 PA
Leiden, The Netherlands. Contributions should be original work which has
neither been simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere nor
published previously.  Although the primary language of the Journal is
English, submissions are also accepted in French and German.  Manuscripts
should be submitted in duplicate, double-spaced throughout (including
quotations, notes, bibliography) with notes at the end, and all pages
consecutively numbered.  They should be accompanied by a disk in
WordPerfect, Microsoft Word or ASCII formatting. The full address of the
author should appear at the end of the manuscript. 

        Manuscripts should be submitted in final publishable form.  Full
and consistent bibliographical annotation is required (suggested systems
are the Chicago Manual of Style and Modern Language Association) and
consistent and appropriate transliteration of Arabic names and terms
(suggested systems are International Journal of Middle East Studies and
Library of Congress).  Authors will be required to supply camera-ready
copy of any Arabic text to be included in their articles. 
        In accordance with standard academic practice, articles submitted
for publication to JAL are subject to a process of peer review. 

Please note that JAL no longer publishes translations per se, but only
translations that form part of a literary study.
