22 articles from prominent scholars under the general theme “The Spanish speaking countries” was this year’s contribution to Editor Guy Coutant’s call for papers in Opus XXIV. It is the socond time that the annual publication of the European Academy of Philately is devoted to Spanish philately, following Opus XI, in 2011.

“The international influence of the AEP is clearly demonstrated by the diversity of the authors’ nationalities. In addition to the large number of Spanish authors, I received three articles from France, two from the United States, four from Belgium, one from Portugal, one from Uruguay, and one from Gibraltar”, the Editor mentions in his message.

In the opening remarks of his message, President Peter Suhadolc quotes: “The decision to have this year’s Opus dedicated to Spanish speaking countries has proven to have hit the bull’s eye. Both the volume and quality of papers submitted demonstrated the great interest for this area, the many related topics and the high level of research of the authors”.

Next year’s theme is Italy, territories and colonies.
