The Israel Institute for Advanced Studies congratulates Prof. Yitzhak Hen, Academic Director of the IIAS, on his election as a fellow of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH), one of the world’s leading institutions for the study of the European Middle Ages.

Founded in 1819, the MGH is a renowned research institute dedicated to publishing critical editions of medieval source material - histories, laws, letters, charters, and literary texts - that are foundational to the scholarly understanding of Europe’s medieval past. With its headquarters in Munich, the MGH is also home to the world’s largest specialized library for medieval history and serves as a central hub for international cooperation in the field.

Prof. Hen’s election to this distinguished network of scholars is a recognition of his significant contributions to medieval studies.
