| Founded
and directed by Mario A. Di Cesare, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of
English and Comparative Literature at SUNY Binghamton, MRTS was the publishing
program of the Center for Medieval and Early Renaissance Studies (CEMERS)
at Binghamton from 1978 to 1996. While in New York, the series produced
over 150 hardcover volumes, spawned a paperback series called Pegasus,
and housed the journals Exemplaria, Milton Quarterly, and General
Linguistics. MRTS's mission was and continues to be simple yet twofold:
to produce basic first-rate scholarship such as fundamental reference
works and critical editions and translations of works not generally available;
and to produce these works at prices individuals can afford.
In 1996, when Professor Di Cesare was nearing retirement, he divided what had become an immense enterprise into two parts, MRTS, which is the main series of hardcover books, and Pegasus Press, which embraces the paperback series, journals, and electronic publications. He then successfully negotiated new homes for both parts. MRTS came to the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS) at Arizona State University in September 1996, and Pegasus moved first to the University of North Carolina, Asheville, and then into private hands eight years later. ACMRS continues to maintain the original goals for MRTS set down in 1978.
