Leiden (NL) / Boston (MA) - 24 December 2015

Brill, the international scholarly publisher, is set to add the journal Méthexis: International Journal for Ancient Philosophy (Rivista internazionale di filosofia antica) formerly published by Academia Verlag (Germany). Founded in 1988, Méthexis seeks to be an international platform for the publication of scholarly material in ancient philosophy in many languages in particular Italian, Spanish, English, and French.

Franco Trabattoni, editor of the journal, is glad to announce 'that starting with issue 28, Méthexis will be published by Brill, an authoritative and long-standing publishing house specializing not just in the field of ancient philosophy, but also in the editing and publishing of periodicals: we could hardly have found better support for our work.'

Sam Bruinsma, Brill's Senior VP Business Development comments: 'We are excited to add Méthexis to our growing journal portfolio in philosophy. I know that subscribers, readers, authors and editors alike will be really pleased with all the extra publishing services Brill has to offer to this wonderful journal.'

Volume 28 of Méthexis will be published by Brill in 2016 and, together with the back volumes, will be made available through the Brill's Books and Journals platform. More information on the journal and pricing can be found at: brill.com/met.
