Pal. germ. 848 fol. 71v Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, GERMANISTIK GERMAN STUDIES uns allen hat das vergangene Jahr einiges abverlangt: Forschung wie Verlags- arbeit, Austausch auf und abseits von Konferenzen, all das konnte nur noch von 2 zuhause und virtuell stattfinden. Größter Einschnitt für unser Lektorat war jedoch der Tod unseres langjährigen Kollegen, Mentors und Freundes Jacob Klingner. Sein Engagement, seine Aufgeschlossenheit und Präzision werden bei der weiteren Fortentwicklung unseres Programms vorbildlich bleiben. ANGLISTIK, ROMANISTIK & WEITERE SPRACHEN ENGLISH & ROMANCE STUDIES, OTHER LANGUAGES Angesichts solcher Widrigkeiten freuen wir uns besonders über die wie gewohnt 31 zahlreichen herausragenden Neuerscheinungen: Unser englischsprachiges Handbuchprogramm erweitert etwa Prognostication in the Medieval World. Völlig neubearbeitet erschien die 4. Auflage von Thordis Hennings’ Einführung ins Mittelhochdeutsche. Unerwartete Aktualität errang der Open Access-Band ALTERTUMSKUNDE & BYZANTINISTIK th The Crisis of the 14 Century, der komplexe Zusammenhänge zwischen Umwelt- CLASSICAL AND BYZANTINE STUDIES und sozialen Veränderungen im Spätmittelalter untersucht. 54 Lektüre bleibt auch in diesen Tagen ein uneingeschränktes Vergnügen, dasselbe wünschen wir Ihnen beim Stöbern in unserem neuen Katalog. GESCHICHTE & KUNSTGESCHICHTE Dear Readers, HISTORY AND ART HISTORY The last year was a challenge for all of us: doing research, publishing books, 67 meeting at conferences and beyond – our home has become our workplace and our work has turned digital. May 2020 brought an especially sad caesura to our editorial team as our colleague, mentor, and friend Jacob Klingner passed away. His commitment, his openness, and his rigor will guide us in our daily work in PHILOSOPHIE, THEOLOGIE & JUDAISTIK the future. PHILOSOPHY, THEOLOGY, AND JEWISH STUDIES During these times and despite the adversities, the steady flow of new oustanding 88 publications makes us happy: Prognostication in the Medieval World is the latest addition to our English-language handbook program. Thordis Hennings’s Einführung ins Mittelhochdeutsche [Introduction to Middle High German] is now available as a fully revised 4th edition. The collection The Crisis of the ZEITSCHRIFTEN UND JAHRBÜCHER 14th Century, published in Open Access, is dedicated to the complex interplay of JOURNALS AND YEARBOOKS environmental and societal changes in the late Middle Ages – a topic that couldn’t 93 be more relevant. Reading is one of the few pleasures that suffers no restrictions, so enjoy browsing our catalogue of new publications.

  • Diego De Moxena, El Liber Sine Nomine De Petrarca Y El Concilio De Constanza
    Quaderns d’Italià 20, 2015 59-87 Diego de Moxena, el Liber sine nomine de Petrarca y el concilio de Constanza Íñigo Ruiz Arzalluz Universidad del País Vasco / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea [email protected] Resumen Diego de Moxena, franciscano probablemente castellano activo en el concilio de Cons- tanza, escribe el 9 de julio de 1415 a Fernando I de Aragón una carta en la que le insta a sumarse al concilio y reconsiderar su apoyo a Benedicto XIII. El escrito de Moxena revela un uso del Liber sine nomine de Petrarca —advertido ya por Isaac Vázquez Janeiro— que resulta especialmente llamativo: además de tratarse de un testimonio muy temprano en la historia del petrarquismo hispano, el conjunto formado por el prefacio y las dos primeras epístolas del Liber sine nomine no viene utilizado como un simple repertorio de sentencias, sino que constituye el modelo sobre el que se construye la carta en la que, por lo demás y extraordinariamente, en ningún momento se menciona el nombre de Petrarca. De otro lado, se ponen en cuestión algunas de las fuentes postuladas por Vázquez Janeiro y se ofrece una nueva edición de la carta de fray Diego. Palabras clave: Diego de Moxena; Petrarca; Liber sine nomine; concilio de Constanza; petrarquismo hispano; Dietrich von Münster. Abstract. Diego de Moxena, the Liber sine nomine and the Council of Constance On the 9th of July in 1415, Diego de Moxena, very likely a Castilian Franciscan active in the Council of Constance, wrote a letter to Ferdinand I of Aragon in which he urged him to attend the Council and to reconsider his support to Benedict XIII.

This book traces the development of the community from its foundation in the 740s over one and a half centuries, a period richly documented by a variety of texts and archaeological remains. These sources reveal how Fulda’s success forced the monks to rethink their goals and the ways in which they sought to achieve them. Its close connection to the Carolingian royal court also makes Fulda a fascinating case study of how local events infl u- enced life in the palace, and vice versa. The importance of Fulda and the rich array of sources associated with it have long been recognised, but this is the fi rst full study, bringing together history, religion, architectural history and archae- ology. The result is a vivid picture of life in this monastery and also in early medieval religious communities in general. janneke raaijmakers is a lecturer in Medieval History at the Universiteit Utrecht. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-00281-4 - The Making of the Monastic Community of Fulda, C.744–C.900 Janneke Raaijmakers Frontmatter More information Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought Fourth Series General Editor: rosamond mckitterick Professor of Medieval History, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Sidney Sussex College Advisory Editors: christine carpenter Professor of Medieval English History, University of Cambridge jonathan shepard The series Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought was inaugurated by G.

American Historians and German Medieval Scholarship: A Comment Otto Gerhard Oexle Preface For the first time since the founding of the German Historical Institute in 1987, the topic of the 1995 Annual Lecture addressed the German Middle Ages—as perceived through American eyes. We invited two distinguished scholars from the United States and Germany, and their presentations made this evening a truly special event. In his lecture, Professor Patrick J. Geary traced the influence of German medievalists, especially their methods and historiography, on American academia. During the second half of the nineteenth century, German scholarship came to be regarded as an exemplary model, owing to its scholarly excellence. However, within a few decades, German medieval scholarship's function as a model for American academics declined. Professor Geary gave an engaging account of this development and offered at the same time an absorbing analysis of how the perception and interpreta- tion of German medieval history by American historians were shaped by their attempt to explain American history.

  • The Long Take
    ADVANCE INFORMATION LONGLISTED FOR MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018 THE LONG TAKE Robin Robertson 9781509846887 POETRY Picador ǀ Rs 699 ǀ 256pp ǀ Hardback ǀ S Format Feb 22, 2018 A powerful work from award-winning poet Robin Robertson which follows a D-Day veteran as he goes in search of freedom and repair in post-war America. Winner of The Roehampton Poetry Prize 2018 A noir narrative written with the intensity and power of poetry, The Long Take is one of the most remarkable - and unclassifiable - books of recent years. Walker is a D-Day veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder; he can't return home to rural Nova Scotia, and looks instead to the city for freedom, anonymity and repair. As he moves from New York to Los Angeles and San Francisco we witness a crucial period of fracture in American history, one that also allowed film noir to flourish. The Dream had gone sour but - as those dark, classic movies made clear - the country needed outsiders to study and dramatise its new anxieties. While Walker tries to piece his life together, America is beginning to come apart: deeply paranoid, doubting its own certainties, riven by social and racial division, spiralling corruption and the collapse of the inner cities. The Long Take is about a good man, brutalised by war, haunted by violence and apparently doomed to return to it - yet resolved to find kindness again, in the world and in himself. Watching beauty and disintegration through the lens of the film camera and the eye of the poet, Robin Robertson's The Long Take is a work of thrilling originality.

    NATION AND WORKING-CLASS HEINRICH LAUFENBERG FR ITZ WOLFPH EIM P�ICE MARK 1.20. HAMBURG, END OF JULY, 1920. B U C H V E R L A G W I L L A S C H E K & C o. HA M B U R G 3. :: N E U E R STE f NW E 6 3 • 5. .o arplan rg_J I. Communism is the doctrine of the class struggle of the proletariat within capitalist society. Its goal is the destruction of the capitalist world-system and its replacement by the Commune of the world-economy. Its struggle and mission are international. The very existence of the bourgeoisie and proletariat is determined by the capitalist mode of production. The struggle between bourgeoisie and proletariat moves through nations, tearing them apart with the antagonisms between the classes in enemy camps. But as both classes can only exist so long as capitalist society lasts, at the end of their struggle class-antagonisms in every country will be abolished by the victorious proletariat. By smashing the capitalist form of economy and eradicating the capitalist class-society and wage system, the proletariat abolishes the bourgeoisie and, at the same time, itself as a non-propertied class. In doing so, it deprives class-divisions within nations of their foundations. Communist society sets all working members of a people [Volk] alongside one another, free and equal. It arises out of the socialized labor of a classless people, and comes to completion through the federalist integration of the economy of the classless nations [Völker] in the World Commune.

  • Of Masters and Servants: Hybrid Power in Theodore Laskaris
    ANDRIA ANDREOU - PANAGIOTIS A. AGAPITOS Of Masters and Servants Hybrid Power in Theodore Laskaris’ Response to Mouzalon and in the Tale of Livistros and Rodamne Abstract The present paper examines two Byzantine texts from the middle of the thirteenth century, ostensibly unrelated to each other: a political essay written by a young emperor and an anonymous love romance. The analysis is conducted through the concept of hybrid power, a notion initially developed by postcolonial criticism. It is shown that in the two texts authority (that of the Byzantine emperor and that of Eros as emperor) is constructed as hybrid and thus as an impossibility, though in the case of the political essay this impossibility remains unresolved, while in the romance it is actually resolved. The pronounced similarities between the two texts on the level of political ideology (e.g. the notion of friendship between master and servant, the performance of power relations, shared key concepts) informing the hybrid form of authority and its relation to its servants is a clear indication that they belong to the same socio-cultural and intellectual environment, namely the Laskarid imperial court in Nicaea around 1250. * The present paper is a substantially The aim of this study* is to examine two ostensibly unrelated Byzan- revised and expanded version of a talk tine texts. The first is a ‘political essay’ by the emperor Theodore II given at a workshop on Theodore Doukas Laskaris (1254–58) on the relation of friendship between Laskaris as emperor and author, organized by Dimiter Angelov and rulers and their close collaborators; it can be plausibly dated between Panagiotis Agapitos in Nicosia with 1250 and 1254, at the time when the author was crowned prince.

  • CONTINUITY and CHANGE in the EIGHTH CENTURY Conciliar
    CHAPTER 6 CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN THE EIGHTH CENTURY Conciliar Continuity: Alaric to Clovis In September 506, thirty-four Gallo-Roman clerics met in the city of Agde “with the permission of our most glorious, magnifi cent, and pious lord king.”1 Th e honored rex was Alaric II, an Arian Christian, who hoped that by authorizing a council of Catholic prelates, he would be able to rely on their loyalty in the ongoing fi ght for political domina- tion in Gaul.2 Alaric’s dream of a Visigothic-dominated Gaul would be crushed only a year later, when he was defeated and killed by Clovis at the Battle of Vouillé.3 But in 506, the king was still vigorously attempt- ing to hold together a unifi ed Visigothic realm. Th e same year that he convoked the Council of Agde, he also issued the Lex Romana Visig- othorum (or Breviarium), a compilation of Roman law whose infl uence would far outlive Alaric himself.4 Following Clovis’ victory, and the establishment of Merovingian dominance in Gaul, the Lex Romana Visigothorum continued to be copied and consulted frequently, even though manuscripts of the Codex Th eodosianus were still in circula- tion.5 For Alaric, however, the codifi cation project had a more imme- diate aim: uniting the Roman subjects of his kingdom under a single code of laws issued in his own name. Alaric’s unifi cation eff orts were 1 Agde (506), Preface. 2 Mathisen, “Th e Second Council of Arles,” 543, has suggested that Arles II (442/506) was convoked for the same reasons already postulated for the Council of Agde (506).

It seeks to establish the relationship of the various valkyrja reflexes of the culture under study with other supernatural females (particularly the dísir) through the close and careful examination of primary source material, thereby proposing a new model of base supernatural femininity for the late Iron Age. The study then goes on to examine how the valkyrjur themselves deviate from this ground state, interrogating various aspects and features associated with them in skaldic, Eddic, prose and iconographic source material as seen through the lens of the hall-based warrior elite, before presenting a new understanding of valkyrja phenomena in this social context: that valkyrjur were used as instruments to propagate the pre-existing social structures of the culture that created and maintained them throughout the late Iron Age.
