| The Derek Price Award was originally established as the Zeitlin-Ver
Brugge Prize in 1978, to encourage the publication in Isis of original
research of the highest standard. It is now supported by an endowment established
through the generosity of an anonymous donor. Consisting of $1000 and a
certificate, this prize is given annually to the author of an outstanding
article in Isis in the three years prior to the year of the award.
