The Institute is devoted to the study of culture and civilization, past and present.

Our Logo

Symbolizing the merger of the two organizations, the Institute’s logo is derived from the Phoenician seal used by the former Society for Mediterranean Studies, set on a stylized seascape from the original logo of the former Canadian Mediterranean Institute.

Scripta Mediterranea

Scripta Mediterranea was the refereed journal published by the Canadian Institute for Mediterranean Studies. It will no longer be published, but back copies are accessible on line and can be obtained from our Archives and accessed through the following link to York University: Archived Journals
