There is certainly no shortage of books on the subject. Several general surveys of the witch trials and numerous regional and micro studies have been published for an English-speaking readership. While the quality of publications on witchcraft has been high, some regions and topics have received less attention over the years. The aim of this series is to help illuminate these lesser known or little studied aspects of the history of witchcraft and magic. It will also encourage the development of a broader corpus of work in other related areas of magic and the supernatural, such as angels, devils, spirits, ghosts, folk healing and divination.

Wright State University in Conjunction with the Jewish Council of Dayton. Interviewer--Rabbi Cary Kozberg Date of Interviews: August 23, 1978 Q: This is Cary Kozberg speaking. I am conducting the first interview with Mr. Paul Leeser in my office at the Temple. Mr. Leeser lives in Richmond, Indiana. This is Wednesday afternoon, August 23, 1978. Mr. Leeser, how old are you? A: Fifty- seven. Q: Where were you born? A: In a city in the Rhineland (Germany) called, at that time, Hanborn(spelled by PL). Today it is a suburb of a larger city called Duisburg (Duisburg is again spelled by PL). It is called today: “Duisburg-Hanborn.” They are both in the Rhineland tare? Part of the German State of Westphalia. Q: Did you grow up there? A: My early years I spent in Hanborn. I went to school there. Then, when I was not quite in high school, that was in 1927 or 1928, we left the Rhineland and moved inland because my parents bought a business there. I continued my education in a little town called Rinteln which is on the Weser River near the town of Hameln in the district of Minden, at the time. The city, today is in the district of Hanover. I continued my grade school education there and had my first religious training. That is religious school and Hebrew school, etc.

It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing.’ – Pelé More than 30 years of Domaine La Butte aux Bois and 2017 was perhaps our most successful year yet for a multitude of reasons. At the heart of our success is our dedicated Domaine La Butte aux Bois team who strive for perfection with a clear sense of love for their craft, and for whom we are forever grateful. With magnificent views of the surrounding Hoge Kempen National Park, our new extension sits amongst a natural sanctuary. The impressive building with a new entrance, 20 extra luxury rooms and the 1,350sqm Spa Retreat La Forêt – equipped with top notch wellness facilities, gym with personal training and Dr Yolande Bullens-Goessens’ new dermatology clinic, opened last spring. We also celebrated the birth of our new in- house magazine Life in Style. Following a substantial transformation, 2017 was an indescribably outstanding year for Restaurant La Source thanks to the award of a second Michelin star for the culinary art of chef Ralf Berendsen and his team. This elevated Ralf into the elite circle of two-star chefs and placed our La Source among the best restaurants in the country! After a successful 2017, we had a popping start to 2018 – with Champagne of course! The 3rd edition of our swinging ‘Pennies from Heaven’ dinner – an initiative of La Butte aux Bois in collaboration with entrepreneur Jan Huijnen – resulted in a fantastic €70,115 raised for the Limburg Cancer Research Fund.

  • The Rise of Fiscal Capacity
    The Rise of Fiscal Capacity Davide Cantoni Cathrin Mohr Matthias Weigand* June 2021 Abstract We study the role of a crucial institutional innovation — the development of fiscal capacity through modern, permanent administrations — in fostering state consolidation in Europe in the Early Modern era. Using a novel dataset, we examine the introduction of fiscal centraliza- tion in territories of the Holy Roman Empire from 1400 to 1789. After implementing the reform, territories were more likely to survive, increased in size, and were able to achieve a more com- pact territorial extension. We show that increased revenues, a reduction of short-term lending, more investments in military infrastructure, improved defensive capability, and a higher abil- ity to marry off daughters to powerful princes, were key mechanisms through which rulers were able to consolidate their territories. The absence of pre-trends, as well as the robustness of our results with regard to selection and endogeneity concerns, suggest that fiscal centralization played a causal role in this context. We argue that the external threat posed by the Ottoman Empire was a key driver of the adoption of fiscal centralization, independently of the rise and decline of deliberative bodies (Estates). Keywords: Fiscal capacity, state competition, war, Germany JEL Classification: H20, N33, N43, P16 *Cantoni: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat¨ Munich, CEPR, and CESifo. Email: [email protected].

Having identified anomalies in the histories of these locations, and bringing a more international dimension to them, my study tackles a remarkable understudied geo- political location. The core of my research identifies the immigration of Scots and the establishment of commercial networks within a region rather than an individual territory, highlighting contact across political borders. This region differed significantly from other places in Northern Europe in that it did not maintain an ethnically distinct Scottish community enforcing and encouraging interaction with the indigenous German population and other foreigners such as the English Merchant Adventurers in Hamburg. The survey reveals that despite the lack of such a community the region was of commercial significance to Scots as evidenced by the presence of individual Scottish merchants, factors and entrepreneurs whose trade links stretched far beyond their home country.

Access to reliable sources for period names are limited for most people, though. Not everybody has a public library in their vicinity, and even if there should be such an institution, it is doubtful that it can always satisfy the specific needs of a person in search for a SCA name. For quite a while now, many are using the Internet, where they can find what they are looking for with relatively little effort. Alas, in many cases the listings and documentation they find are not useful and should be avoided.

    The Rise of Fiscal Capacity Davide Cantoni Cathrin Mohr Matthias Weigand* July 2021 Abstract This paper studies the role of fiscal capacity in European state consolidation. Our analysis is organized around novel data on the territories and cities of the Holy Roman Empire in the Early Modern era. Territories implementing an early fiscal reform were more likely to survive, increased in size, and achieved a more compact extent. We provide evidence for the causal interpretation of these results and show key mechanisms: revenues, military investments, and marriage success. The imposition of Imperial taxes, which strengthened ruler’s positions and sidelined Estates, exogenously drove the implementation of fiscal centralization, tilting the con- solidating states toward absolutism.
