I cento fascicoli delle „Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken“, 1898–2020

On the occasion of the 100th issue of the „Quellen und Forschungen aus
italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken“, the article offers a retrospective look at the
journal, with a focus on the medieval section. It highlights the presentation or edition
of Vatican sources, both as a reflection of the Institute’s research and as a constant distinctive feature in the context of international journals. At the same time, the author
stresses the journal’s openness to new topics following trends in medieval studies,
alongside well-established issues, and the increasingly intense internationalisation
resulting from collaboration with other researchers and institutes based in Rome, Italy
and abroad. Finally, it expresses the hope that the journal may continue to be a means
of fostering research on primary sources, especially in the context of the Repertorium
Germanicum.
