Preference is given to original contributions that are of general scholarly interest.
To facilitate double-blind peer review, the author's name and affiliation should appear only on a separate title page. Manuscripts should be mailed to the editor. Authors are advised to conform as closely as possible to suggested guidelines for consistency of style. We generally follow the Oxford English Dictionary or, for manuscripts written in German, the Duden to confirm correct spellings. In case of alternative spellings, the first one listed is preferred.
