Pietas litterata is a peer-reviewed academic yearbook published by the German Anton Hiersemann Verlag. Established in 2023, it is a venue for scholarship dedicated to philological and interdisciplinary research in the literature of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period.

The yearbook’s title alludes to the phrase “pietas litterata” coined by Philipp Melanchthon. It refers to the connection between theology, piety and literary production in the “denominational age” and highlights shifts in the media landscape that influence the conditions of literary production. Contributions examine the relationship between literature and knowledge against the backdrop of a broadly conceived concept of literature and with an eye towards the manifold forms of religious knowledge present in texts of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period.

Pietas litterata contains scholarly essays, detailed reviews of scholarly monographs and anthologies, thematically and methodologically oriented discussion articles, conversations about recent developments in research, and debates that address late medieval and early modern scholarship in the context of interdisciplinarity, inter-denominationality, and internationality. The yearbook focuses on German and Latin literatures of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. European literatures from outside the German-speaking lands are considered if they adopt a comparative perspective. The emphasis of the yearbook extends beyond theological perspectives on literature and includes relevant historical, philosophical, and sociological contexts as well.

The yearbook’s scholarly orientation lies between the Mittellateinisches Jahrbuch, the Neulateinisches Jahrbuch, the yearbook for the history of literature, humanities, and sciences Scientia Poetica, and the journal for literature and arts of the pre-modern world Artes.

The yearbook is co-edited by Maximilian Benz, Andreas Bihrer, Ulrich L. Lehner, Andreas Mauz, and Aleksandra Prica.
