	Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto is concerned with everything that happened or was thought on one continent (Europe) during the course of one thousand years (500-1500). The Centre for Medieval Studies was envisaged by its founders not just as an institutional umbrella for traditional departments but as a meeting point at which topics and issues touching several different disciplines would be explored and studied in depth. Medieval Studies in Toronto has an international reputation, resting on the wide-ranging interests of its faculty, the calibre and preparation of its graduates, and its excellent library facilities.
