Scripta Instituti Donneriani Aboensis

 

Scripta Instituti Donneriani Aboensis is a publication series published by the Donner Institute for research in Religious and Cultural History in Åbo, Finland. The publication series Scripta Instituti Donneriani Aboensis was inaugurated in 1967 with the aim to publish papers presented at conferences and symposia organised by the institute. The series has previously been published in printed form but from 2014 onwards, Scripta is published as an open access e-publication. Most years, Scripta publishes one issue (in May/June). It addresses an international readership and approaches the field of religion from a broad perspective, engaging contributors from different theoretical and methodological traditions.
