This double-volume of Encomia represents the second volume of the bulletin published in an online format. One of the most significant features of the online format is the ability to conduct electronic searches of keywords, eliminating the need for turning back and forth to indices. This capability should facilitate more efficient and precise research.

The bibliographies in this volume cover the years 2012–2013. Several branches of the International Courtly Literature Society have contributed bibliographical data here and we hope that those who did not will be able to submit material in the future. We wish to express our deepest appreciation to all the bibliographers, coordinators, and bibliographical correspondents for their diligence in gathering the information presented here. Since this volume appears later than originally scheduled, some of the bibliographers, members, and officers have changed since the entries were submitted.

My editorship of Encomia ends with this volume. It has been a privilege to serve the membership of the ICLS in this capacity over the years. I thank my longtime friend, colleague, and mentor, Rupert T. Pickens, for co-editing this last volume with me. Beverly J. Evans has agreed to assume the editorship of Encomia. Professor Evans has served as Bibliographical Coordinator of the North American Branch for Encomia for many years and we are delighted that such a competent person is taking over this important position. We wish all members and friends of the ICLS a pleasant and productive year.
