In the case of Ireland, Peritia sees the vernacular and Latin traditions , usually separated by disciplina ry boundaries , as expression s of a single cultural entity. It publishes on all medieval periods but it has tended to concentrat e on the earlier middle ages and has devoted very considerab le space to law, hagiograph y, palaeograp hy, computisti cs, institutio nal history, literary history, and art and archaeolog y.
