The Rev Stolz asks about journals, and his question (my sincere apologies here)
is good but largely unanswerable. We might make recommendations for
institutional subscription, but if we are on a budget for personal
subscription, our decisions might be quite different. The J. of Eccl. History
is handy, Studi Medievali (if we 'do' more than one language) can be
indispensable at times -- lesser known ones like the J. of the Early Book
Society can aid personal interest. For the Rev Stolz, a clearer idea on what he
wants from a journal would be welcome, though the decision will still lie with
him. What might be available at a local university library? If this is not
enough, how can he describe the 'gap' and then what journal(s) might we say
could fill it? I am happy to live where I do, but I also wish the Library of
Congress was next door. Perhaps like the Rev Stolz (?), I pay my own money for
research materials and visit 'good' libraries when I can.
