Included are the compositions widely regarded as the pinnacle of Egyptian literary arts, by the Egyptians themselves and by modern readers.
Ancient and medieval labyrinths embody paradox, according to Penelope Reed Doob. Their structure allows a double perspective—the baffling, fragmented prospect confronting the maze-treader within, and the comprehensive vision available to those without. Mazes simultaneously assert order and chaos, artistry and confusion, articulated clarity and bewildering complexity, perfected pattern and hesitant process. In this handsomely illustrated book, Doob reconstructs from a variety of literary and visual sources the idea of the labyrinth from the classical period through the Middle Ages.
Doob first examines several complementary traditions of the maze topos, showing how ancient historical and geographical writings generate metaphors in which the labyrinth signifies admirable complexity, while poetic texts tend to suggest that the labyrinth is a sign of moral duplicity. She then describes two common models of the labyrinth and explores their formal implications: the unicursal model, with no false turnings, found almost universally in the visual arts; and the multicursal model, with blind alleys and dead ends, characteristic of literary texts. This paradigmatic clash between the labyrinths of art and of literature becomes a key to the metaphorical potential of the maze, as Doob's examination of a vast array of materials from the classical period through the Middle Ages suggests. She concludes with linked readings of four "labyrinths of words": Virgil's Aeneid, Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy, Dante's Divine Comedy, and Chaucer's House of Fame, each of which plays with and transforms received ideas of the labyrinth as well as reflecting and responding to aspects of the texts that influenced it.
Doob not only provides fresh theoretical and historical perspectives on the labyrinth tradition, but also portrays a complex medieval aesthetic that helps us to approach structurally elaborate early works. Readers in such fields as Classical literature, Medieval Studies, Renaissance Studies, comparative literature, literary theory, art history, and intellectual history will welcome this wide-ranging and illuminating book.

The Knight, the Cross, and the Song offers a new perspective on the driving forces of crusading in the period 1100-1400. Although religious devotion has long been identified as the primary motivation of those who took the cross, Stefan Vander Elst argues that it was by no means the only focus of the texts written to convince the warriors of Western Christianity to participate in the holy war. Vander Elst examines how, across three centuries, historiographical works that served as exhortations for the Crusade sought specifically to appeal to aristocratic interests beyond piety. They did so by appropriating the formal and thematic characteristics of literary genres favored by the knightly class, the chansons de geste and chivalric romance. By using the structure, commonplaces, and traditions of chivalric literature, propagandists associated the Crusade with the decidedly secular matters to which arms-bearers were drawn. This allowed them to introduce the mutual obligation between lord and vassal, family honor, the thirst for adventure, and even the desire for women as parallel and complementary motivations for Crusade, making chivalric and literary concerns an indelible part of the ideology and practice of holy war. Examining English, Latin, French, and German texts, ranging from the twelfth-century Gesta Francorum and Chanson d'Antioche to the fourteenth-century Krônike von Prûzinlant and La Prise d'Alixandre, The Knight, the Cross, and the Song traces the historical development and geographical spread of this innovative use of secular chivalric fiction both to shape the memory and interpretation of past events and to ensure the continuation of the holy war.

William of Norwich is the name of a young boy purported to have been killed by Jews in or about 1144, thus becoming the victim of the first recorded case of such a ritual murder in Western Europe and a seminal figure in the long history of antisemitism. His story is first told in Thomas of Monmouth's The Life and Miracles of William of Norwich, a work that elaborates the bizarre allegation, invented in twelfth-century England, that Jews kidnapped Christian children and murdered them in memory and mockery of the crucifixion of Christ. In Inventing William of Norwich Heather Blurton resituates Thomas's account by offering the first full analysis of it as a specifically literary work. The second half of the twelfth century was a time of great literary innovation encompassing an efflorescence of saints' lives and historiography, as well as the emergence of vernacular romance, Blurton observes. She examines The Life and Miracles within the framework of these new textual developments and alongside innovations in liturgical and devotional practices to argue that the origin of the ritual murder accusation is imbricated as much in literary culture as it is in the realities of Christian-Jewish relations or the emergence of racially based discourses of antisemitism. Resisting the urge to interpret this first narrative of the blood libel with the hindsight knowledge of later developments, she considers only the period from about 1150-1200. In so doing, Blurton redirects critical attention away from the social and economic history of the ritual murder accusation to the textual genres and tastes that shaped its forms and themes and provided its immediate context of reception. Thomas of Monmouth's narrative in particular, and the ritual murder accusation more generally, were strongly shaped by literary convention.

Band I: Allgemeiner Teil §§1-240 ISBN: 3161479092 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783161479090 Издательство: Amazon Internet Рейтинг: Цена: 160270.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: English summary: This commentary on the German Civil Code makes available to the modern reader the rich store of historical experiences on which present day German legal doctrine and case law are based. Each analysis starts with the presentation of the given legal issue, shows different solutions practised before the BGB, explains the choices made by the draftsmen of the code in the late 19th century and then presents main developments in legislation, jurisdiction and jurisprudence in Germany as well as abroad. The commentary thus provides the basis for a critical re-evaluation of modern legal doctrine and also specifies the position of German private law within the broader European context. German description: Herausgegeben von Mathias Schmoeckel, Joachim Ruckert und Reinhard ZimmermannBand I: Allgemeiner Teil 1-240Redaktion: Mathias SchmoeckelDas heute praktizierte Zivilrecht hat sich vom Text des BGB bisweilen deutlich entfernt. Dennoch steht es in einem intensiven Traditionszusammenhang zum Gesetz von 1896. Der Historisch-kritische Kommentar zum BGB macht diesen Zusammenhang sichtbar. Er erfullt damit eine wesentliche Aufgabe in einer Zeit, in der das alte Ideal nationaler Kodifikationen vor den Konturen einer europaischen Privatrechtsordnung verblasst ist. Was charakterisiert das deutsche Zivilrecht, wie sind seine Strukturen entstanden, wodurch wurden sie gepragt und wie haben sie sich bewahrt? Auf welchen Wertungen beruhen die Losungen von gestern, heute und vermutlich morgen? Welche kulturellen, okonomischen und sozialen Faktoren haben die Rechtsauffassungen gepragt? Alle diese Fragen lassen sich nur historisch beantworten. Auf diesen Fundament wird vergleichend weitergedacht, bilanziert und gewertet. Der Kommentar nennt sich deswegen auch kritisch . Das BGB wird also nicht als Summe von Dogmen, sondern als eine unter vielen moglichen Entscheidungen begriffen. Der historisch-kritische Zugriff erschliesst den Zugang zum reichen Erfahrungsschatz aus uber 100 Jahren Umgang mit diesem Gesetz. Er verarbeitet die Ergebnisse juristischer Dogmengeschichte und stellt die juristischen Probleme in ihren realen Kontext. Er bietet damit erstmals in dieser Intensitat historische Rechtsvergleichung bis an die Schwelle der Gegenwart. Insgesamt werden sechs Bande erscheinen: je einer fur den Allgemeinen Teil, das Sachenrecht, Familienrecht und Erbrecht sowie zwei Bande zum Schuldrecht.
