Mit seinen unregelmäßigen Zähnen hat er sich in die Pflanzen verbissen - ein Verhalten, das eindeutig auf die negative Konnotation dieser Figur verweist. Insofern ist er den in Äste beißenden Dämonenfratzen am Eingang der Kirche des Nonnberger Benediktinerinnenstiftes in der Stadt Salzburg vergleichbar, die ebenso um 1500 geschaffen wurden. Diese Droh- und Wutgebärde dürfte nicht weiter zu entschlüsseln sein, sie ist ein Attribut der bösen Gestalten, wie es am eindrucksvollsten im Motiv der romanischen Säulenfresser gestaltet wurde (z.B. Fresko in der Klosterkirche in Müstair/Schweiz). In Pfarrwerfen erinnert der einem flüchtigen Blick gar nicht auffallende Kopf den auf­ merksameren Betrachter daran, daß der Böse zwar vom Heiligen an den Rand verdrängt wird, aber verhohlen immer als Bedrohung gefährlich bleibt.

  • Lothar Voetz, Der Codex Manesse. Die Berühmteste Liederhandschrift Des Mittelalters, Darmstadt (Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft) 2015, 176 S., 123 Farb
    Francia-Recensio 2017/1 Mittelalter ± Moyen Âge (500±1500) Lothar Voetz, Der Codex Manesse. Die berühmteste Liederhandschrift des Mittelalters, Darmstadt (Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft) 2015, 176 S., 123 farb. Abb., ISBN 978-3-650-40042-0, EUR 69,95. rezensiert von/compte rendu rédigé par Elmar Mittler, Berlin Der »Codex Manesse« erscheint in seiner klaren Abfolge von groûformatigen Bildern und gleichartig in zwei Kolumnen geschriebenen Texten in der Ordnung der mittelalterlichen Standesgesellschaft als klar und logisch gegliedert; erst eine genauere Betrachtung zeigt, wie verwirrend uneinheitlich und komplex das Werk ist. Bei dieser Publikation der Wissenschaftlichen Buchgesellschaft (in der Buchhandelsausgabe unter dem der WBG gehörenden Lambert Schneider firmierend) geht es einem umgekehrt. Die oft unmotivierte grafische Gestaltung mit einer Abfolge von unterschiedlich verkleinerten Bildern, die nicht immer logischen Gesetzen zu folgen scheint, verwirrt oft mehr als sie erläutert; erst beim genaueren Hinsehen merkt man, welch klar gegliedertes Konzept der Text dagegen bietet. Zur Überraschung mancher Leserin und manchen Lesers nennt das einleitende Kapitel den sicher weithin bekanntesten deutschsprachigen Codex des Mittelalters ein Buch mit sieben Siegeln. In »Vom Kaiser zum Bettelmann« folgt nicht eine inhaltliche Charakterisierung, sondern ein Traktat über Einrichtung und Anlage der Handschrift. Auch das »Zürcher Anfänge« betitelte dritte Kapitel ist stark auf die Entstehung der Handschrift ausgerichtet, die dann im vierten Abschnitt in den Kreis anderer Lyrikhandschriften des (deutschen) Mittelalters eingeordnet wird. Das Abschlusskapitel »Seltsame Wege« unterrichtet über Geschichte und Erschlieûung der Handschrift. Der Anhang gibt vor allem Hinweise auf die Literatur. Wer die Dichtung kennenzulernen sucht, wird sich über die zwischen die Kapitel eingestreuten Porträts freuen, die mit Kaiser Heinrich beginnen und mit Heinrich von Veldeke (Blatt 30v) fortgesetzt werden.

Over the past few years, scholars have been devoting increasingly more attention to Wolfram’s Willehalm, primarily because of Gyburg’s so-called Toleranzrede and its theological implications. The aim of the present paper is to analyse the narrative construction of the concept of tolerance by examining how the figure of Gyburg and its interaction with other narrative instances (i.e. the narrator and other characters) in Wolfram’s work are constructed on the diegetic level to articulate a complex discourse on religious alterity from different standpoints, both within and outside the Christian world.

  • Personal Relations, Political Agency, and Economic Clout in Medieval and Early Modern Royal and Elite Households
    Introduction 1 Introduction Personal Relations, Political Agency, and Economic Clout in Medieval and Early Modern Royal and Elite Households Theresa Earenfight Studying a royal or elite household is a distinct form of scholarly voyeurism. We peep into the windows of people who died centuries ago and nose about in their closets and their pantries. Our gaze is scholarly and our intentions are good, but reading accounts of dinners both at home and on the road is not unlike reading the menu of a state dinner at the White House, or the catering accounts for a society wedding in London. It is a bit like reading a lifestyle magazine report on what people wore, who sat where at banquets, who rode at the head of a hunting party, and where people slept when they travelled. We see both women and men, from lowly chamber maids to lofty aristocratic men and women, engaged in the labor of keeping their lords and ladies dressed, fed, bathed, educated, protected, and entertained. The work recorded in household accounts was vital. A house is a physical structure – a building or place – but when historians talk about the household, they are talking about a group of people who lived and worked under the same roof and engaged in routine activities involved in caring for the well-being of family members.1 The household was the site of familiarity, friendship, nurtur- ing, intimacy, and sexual intimacy and, regardless of the social rank of the inhabitants, the household was deeply political. It was organized generally in ways that mirrored and reinforced patriarchal values with the husband and wife as the model for ruler and ruled.

Quidditas 39 25 The Agency of Wives in High Medieval German Courtly Romances and Late Medieval Verse Narratives: From Hartmann von Aue to Heinrich Kaufringer Albrecht Classen University of Arizona In some secular medieval literature married life increasingly gained respect and literary traction, as illustrated by the rise of genres such as verse narra- tives (fabliaux, mæren, novelle, tales), early prose novels, didactic literature, and Shrovetide plays. In that world we encounter many discussions about the proper relationship between husband and wife, about the individual’s role within society, and also about economic and financial aspects that had a large impact on private life, and hence also on the gender relationship. The phenomenon of female agency within marriage, which this paper will investigate, comes to the fore in more texts than we might have suspected so far.

  • Part I Paper 8 British Economic and Social
    PART I PAPER 8 BRITISH ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORY, 1050-c. 1500 2019-20 READING LIST FOR STUDENTS & SUPERVISORS Man’s head, fourteenth century, a carving in Prior Crauden’s chapel (1320s), Ely cathedral 1 Part I Paper 8 2019-20 The period covered by this paper was one of dramatic change in British economic and social life. The twelfth and thirteenth centuries were a time of marked economic development and creativity, and saw the expansion of agricultural output, towns, trade and industry. Famine and plague followed in the fourteenth century, leading to a very different era of stagnation and social upheaval in the later middle ages. Overall, it is now generally agreed that the period studied in this course laid essential foundations for Britain’s exceptional economic trajectory in later centuries. This course aims to provide students with a sense of the broader trends of the period 1050-1500, as well as the chance to look in depth at important problems and debates. By the end of the course students will also be able to reflect on the exciting challenges involved in studying the society and economy of an era before censuses, government statistics, and printing. Paper 8 is made up of 24 topics, such as ‘The Black Death’, ‘Town life’, and ‘War and society’. Students, in consultation with their supervisors, can choose which of these topics they wish to study for weekly supervisions. The 24 topics represent a mix of economic and social history. Across Michaelmas and Lent terms, there will be two series of introductory lectures, followed by lectures on each of the 24 topics.

    The crests and coats-of-arms in the Grosse Heidelberger (Manesse) and Weingartener Liederhandschriften M A N Cod.Palat.Germ.848 Heidelberg, Universitätsbibliothek W L H HB XIII 1 = Poet.Germ. 1 Stuttgart, Württembergische Landesbibliothek Edited by Steen Clemmensen CONTENTS: Introduction 2 Manuscripts and editorial approach 2 Date, content and relations 3 References 6 Grosse Heidelberger (Manesse) Liederhandschrift 8 Weingartener Liederhandschrift 26 Ordinary of arms 28 Name index 30 © Steen Clemmensen, Farum, Danmark, 2008, www.armorial.dk Introduction: The miniatures with scenes of chivalry and coats-of-arms from the Codex Manesse or Grosse Heidelberger Liederhandschrift are probably the most used illustrations for both fiction and non- fiction books and articles on the Middle Ages. As such many of these are well-known to both armorists and interested members of the general public. The Manesse and the related Weingartner manuscript are collections of german medieval romantic poetry (Minnesang) with illustrations of the authors of the poems selected. All miniatures from both manuscripts are published in full colour and with extensive comments, and the Manesse is also available at the website of the Heidelberg University. This short editions of the coats of arms is merely intended as a key to the arms in the two manuscripts with short descriptions of the minstrels and notes on their relations to other armorials. The manuscripts and editorial approach The Grosse Heidelberger Liederhandschrift or Codex Manesse, MAN, BGH #3, Heidelberg Universitätsbibliothek, Cod.Palat.Germ.848, is written on parchment, 250 x 355 mm, presently of 426 folios, with ancient pagination in arabic numerals and some legends (omitted) in thin black ink, and contain 6000 verses by 140 poets living c.1150-c.1230, and 137 miniatures, numbered in roman numerals in heavy red ink, with 117 coats-of – arms by 4 illuminators.

  • For Al Them That Delight in Cookery”: the Production and Use of Cookery Books in England, 1300–1600
    “For al them that delight in Cookery”: The Production and Use of Cookery Books in England, 1300–1600 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sarah Peters Kernan Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Daniel Hobbins, PhD, Dissertation Advisor Alison Beach, PhD, Program Advisor Christopher Otter, PhD Copyrighted by Sarah Peters Kernan 2016 ABSTRACT Through an examination of the codicological and bibliographical features of manuscript and print cookbooks produced between 1300 and 1600, I offer a narrative of the early history of English cookeries, their readers, and their producers. The success of the genre was due, in part, to its flexibility. Cookbooks could be used in multiple ways in and out of the kitchen. Furthermore, I examine the shift from manuscript to print through the lens of cookbooks. I argue that an audience for early English printed cookbooks was already in place prior to the introduction of print. The audience for cookeries in England grew steadily over the course of three hundred years, incorporating new readers who spanned class and gender divides. The expanding audience in turn propelled new cookbook production. The transition from script to print provides the backdrop for the genre’s development. First examining late medieval cookbooks as technical literature, I posit that many of these texts were used in contemporary kitchens. Some of the earliest English cookbooks, manuscript rolls, served as aides-mémoires for kitchen staff in great households. Other early manuscript cookbooks were instructional texts, used by cooks in medieval kitchens.
