    KATALOG BIBLIOTEKI KSIĘCIA ALEKSANDRA LUDWIKA RADZIWIŁŁA W NIEŚWIEŻU (1651) Rafał Witkowski Instytut Historii Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu Katalog biblioteki księcia Aleksandra Ludwika Radziwiłła w Nieświeżu, ułożony w 1651 r., nie był dotychczas przedmiotem szerszych analiz, choć studia nad biblioteka- mi magnackiego rodu Radziwiłłów mają już swoją historię. Rękopiśmienny katalog, przechowywany obecnie w Bibliotece Kórnickiej PAN (sygn. BK 1320), został ułożo- ny przez Jana Hanowicza, burgrabiego nieświeskiego. Spisał go w dwóch częściach (tematycznej i alfabetycznej) między kwietniem a czerwcem 1651 r. Wśród spisanych drukowanych książek znalazły się także rękopisy, mapy, rysunki i papiery majątkowe. Większość książek nieświeskich była wówczas oprawiona w białą lub czerwoną skó- rę, niekiedy w zieloną, wiśniową, czarną czy pomarańczową, a rzadziej w safian czy papier. Oprócz dzieł polskich i łacińskich znalazły się tam także książki po niemiecku, włosku, francusku i okazjonalnie w innych językach. Katalog biblioteki księcia Alek- sandra Ludwika stanowi wartościowe źródło do poznania fragmentu dziejów przebo- gatej kolekcji bibliotecznej Radziwiłłów w Nieświeżu.

Dr. Dr. h.c.

Besides Tübingen, several other European towns owe their reputation to the preservation of a large number of historical buildings related to their university: Paris, Bolog- na, Oxford and Cambridge, Salamanca, Prague, Vilnius, Coimbra, Louvain, Uppsala and Alcalá de Henares, or outside Europe México City, Williams- burg (Virginia), even the modern Ciudad Universitaria of Caracas (placed on the World Cultural Heritage list in 2000). Just like Tübingen, other Ger- man towns such as Marburg, Heidelberg, Göttingen, Freiburg, Wittenberg, Helmstedt, Erfurt, Ingolstadt, Leipzig or Jena still possess many older or newer buildings attesting to their historical importance as towns endowed with a university. Even so, very few among them unite the prerequisites for “…Tübingen holds an unparalleled a nomination to the World Heritage List as a ‘university town’ in the fullest place because of the exceptional and most comprehensive sense of the word.

Hamburger ordan of Quedlinburg is hardly a household name, yet in his own day (ca. 1300–1380, or possibly 1370) and right up until the time of the Reformation, J he was among both the most prolifc and popular preachers and spiritual authors of the later Middle Ages.1 Like Luther, he was an Augustinian monk who had profound infuence on subsequent generations. Along with Luther, he also spent a formative part of his career (1327–1333) at the Augustinian monastery in Erfurt, where he lectured at the university. During his studies, he also spent time at the universities of Bologna (1317–1319) and Paris (ca. 1319–1322). Active as an administrator as well as a teacher and preacher, he was perceived by his contemporaries as combining in ideal measure the balance of the active and the contemplative life to which his order aspired.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Dimiter Angelov Nathanael Aschenbrenner Reframing Empire: Byzantium and the Transformation of European Identity, c. 1400–1520 Abstract This dissertation investigates the social and political functions of ideas of empire in sustaining, subverting, and reshaping communities in late medieval and early modern Europe. Examining fifteenth-century imperial thought in and about the Byzantine empire drawn from rarely examined Greek and Latin texts, this dissertation shows how empire became a critical category in negotiations over political legitimacy and identity amidst the rapid reconfigurations of the Mediterranean world c. 1400–1520. In the dying Byzantine empire, oratorical celebrations of imperial authority bound elites together, but also magnified deep social and political divisions over church politics, imperial territory, and succession, hastening the empire’s demise.

  • The Problem of Nationalism in the Early Reformation*
    The Problem of Nationalism in the Early Reformation* tom scott University of St Andrews Historians frequently dismiss any use of the term nationalism in the pre-modern period as conceptually illegitimate. In the early Reformation in Germany, the welter of confusing and competing terms to describe Luther’s audience—“nation,” “tongue,” “fatherland,” patria—appears to confirm that scepticism. At a regional level, however, where the descriptorLand lacks a precise English equivalent, a consciousness of local identity with undeniable “nationalist” connotations can be discerned, especially in the South-West borderlands with francophone areas. Yet this self- perception sits uneasily with comparable manifestations in Switzerland, where identity was not shaped agonistically over against “foreigners,” but was instead deployed by Zwingli and Bullinger to affirm a heroic past epitomized by valiant defence of true religion. Dans leurs études sur les périodes prémodernes, les historiens mettent le plus souvent de côté le terme « nationalisme », jugé anachronique. Dans les débuts de la Réforme en Allemagne, une panoplie d’expressions déroutantes et concurrentes décrivait le public de Luther — « nation », « langue », « patrie », « pays » —, ce qui semble confirmer cette réticence. Toutefois, au niveau régional, alors que l’Anglais ne possède pas d’équivalent précis pour le terme « Land », on discerne une véritable conscience identitaire locale, aux connotations nationalistes indéniables, en particulier pour ce qui est des régions frontalières francophones du sud-ouest. Cependant, cette auto-perception se compare difficilement avec des phénomènes similaires observables en Suisse, où ce type d’identité ne s’est pas construit de façon agonistique en opposition à l’étranger, mais plutôt, sous l’égide de Zwingli et de Bullinger, afin d’établir un passé héroïque marqué par la défense de la vraie religion.

  • MONUMENTA ILLUSTRATA Raumwissen Und ­ Antiquarische Gelehrsamkeit
    DIETRICH BOSCHUNG UND ALFRED SCHÄFER (HRSG.) MONUMENTA ILLUSTRATA Raumwissen und antiquarische Gelehrsamkeit MORPHOMATA Bereits zur Zeit der europäischen Renaissance, lange vor der Ausrufung eines spatial turn in den Kultur­ wissenschaften, wurde das wechselseitige Verhältnis von Raum und Wissen als Analysekategorie eingeführt. Der Band demonstriert das mit Untersuchungen zu den archäologischen Landeskunden des 15. bis 17. Jahr­ hunderts. In der geographisch­historischen Betrachtung er­ schlossen sich im 15. Jahrhundert Raumkonzepte, die wiederum auf das eigene Selbstverständnis zurück­ wirkten. Der vorliegende Band geht in Fallstudien zu landeskundlichen Forschungen der frühen Neuzeit der Geschichte des Raumwissens nach. Dabei kommt Flavio Biondos Italia Illustrata (erschienen 1474) ein besonderes Interesse zu, da das Werk in vielen Berei­ chen Europas ähnliche Untersuchungen angeregt hat, etwa in Spanien, Skandinavien, der Schweiz und im Rheingebiet.
