        Subject: Celebratory issue 10.1 of History of Humanities is out

Dear all,

Our celebratory issue of History of Humanities is out! We celebrate 10
years of our journal by highlighting the remarkable development of a
field that, just over a decade ago, was barely recognized as a distinct
academic discipline. Today, the history of the humanities occupies a
recognized space within academia and has become a thriving, global field
of study.

We are keenly aware that we celebrate this milestone at a time when the
world is facing a variety of societal, political and ecological crises.
Negative trends in the academic world to which the humanities are
especially vulnerable continue to be a threat to our emergent field.
Yet, the resilience of our scholarly community and the growing
recognition of the value of our field give us confidence that History of
Humanities will continue to thrive and expand.

If the history of the humanities has revealed anything, it is our shared
commitment to humanistic values. As humanists, we must remain connected,
drawing inspiration from the Republic of Letters, a tradition that dates
back to the time of Isotta Nogarola and Desiderius Erasmus. Even when
nations were at war and mutual hatred ran deep, humanists continued to
write to one another and extend intellectual hospitality. Let us uphold
that legacy—and perhaps even find some solace in it!
