English summary: When did the Renaissance end? With provocative precision, Frances Yates said it ended in 1614, the year in which Isaac Casaubon exposed the allegedly ancient writings of Hermes Trismegistos as a forgery from late antiquity. However Casaubon was not the first person to produce arguments against the Corpus Hermeticum. During the 1580s in Venice and Padua there had already been an intense debate regarding the date, a debate which is documented in this volume. The essays, written by internationally renowned scholars of the Renaissance, place this in the context of recent developments in the philosophy of nature by Telesio and Patrizi and reveal the ideological interests of hermetists and anti-hermetists. Thus the 'end of the Renaissance' and the 'end of hermeticism' came considerably earlier than researchers had assumed up to now. German description: Wann ist die Renaissance zu Ende gegangen? Frances Yates hat ihr Ende provokativ prazise mit 1614 angegeben, dem Jahr, in dem Isaac Casaubon die angeblich uralten Schriften des Hermes Trismegistos als spatantike Falschungen entlarvt hat. Doch Casaubon war nicht der erste, der Argumente gegen das 'Corpus Hermeticum' vorgebracht hat. Schon im Venedig und Padua der 1580er Jahre gab es eine intensive Datierungsdebatte. Neue handschriftliche Funde zeigen, wie komplex bereits die mundlich erorterten Einwande gegen Hermes gewesen sind. Dieser Band dokumentiert die Datierungsdebatte. Die Beitrage von international renommierten Renaissanceforschern stellen sie in den Kontext der neuen naturphilosophischen Entwicklungen um Telesio und Patrizi und offenbaren die ideologischen Interessen von Hermetikern und Antihermetikern. Das 'Ende der Renaissance' und das 'Ende des Hermetismus' sind also erheblich fruher anzusetzen als bisher angenommen. Sie erweisen sich als ein langfristiger komplexer Prozess im Spannungsfeld von philologischer Kritik, philosophischer Spekulation und naturwissenschaftlicher Empirie.

"Perhaps Hermeticism has fascinated so many people precisely because it has made it possible to produce many analogies and relationships to various traditions: to Platonism in its many varieties, to Stoicism, to Gnostic ideas, and even to certain Aristotelian doctrines. The Gnostic, the esoteric, the Platonist, or the deist has each been able to find something familiar in the writings. One just had to have a penchant for remote antiquity, for the idea of a Golden Age, in order for Hermeticism, with its aura of an ancient Egyptian revelation, to have enjoyed such outstanding success."—from the Introduction Hermes Trismegistus, "thrice-great Hermes," emerged from the amalgamation of the wisdom gods Hermes and Thoth and is one of the most enigmatic figures of intellectual history. Since antiquity, the legendary "wise Egyptian" has been considered the creator of several mystical and magical writings on such topics as alchemy, astrology, medicine, and the transcendence of God. Philosophers of the Renaissance celebrated Hermes Trismegistus as the founder of philosophy, Freemasons called him their forefather, and Enlightenment thinkers championed religious tolerance in his name. To this day, Hermes Trismegistus is one of the central figures of the occult—his name is synonymous with the esoteric. In this scholarly yet accessible introduction to the history of Hermeticism and its mythical founder, Florian Ebeling provides a concise overview of the Corpus Hermeticum and other writings attributed to Hermes. He traces the impact of Christian and Muslim versions of the figure in medieval Europe, the power of Hermeticism and Paracelsian belief in Renaissance thought, the relationship to Pietism and to Freemasonry in early modern Europe, and the relationship to esotericism and semiotics in the modern world.

English summary: Hermetic thinking, in terms of teachings on wisdom with a cross-denominational tendency, experienced growing resonance in the poetry and philosophy of early modern Europe. Hermeticism stands in close relationship to Paracelsism, alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Neo-Platonism, the Christian Kabbalah, and mysticism. It becomes a reflection of nature as a creation of God in that the chemical and biological processes that nature constitutes always show the spirit of God at work. It is also reflected in a new concept of love, which is meant to be an all-encompassing principle. What makes Hermeticism in early modern literature and cultural studies particularly interesting is the variety of literary and artistic forms that are used therein. From novels to poetry, from a philosophical treatise to prayer and devotional literature, from song to an emblem, many genres are represented. German text. German description: Im Sinne einer Weisheitslehre mit konfessionell ubergreifender Tendenz fand das hermetische Denken im fruhneuzeitlichen Europa wachsende Resonanz in Dichtung und Philosophie. Der Hermetismus steht dabei in engen Bezugen zum Paracelsismus, zur Alchemie, zum Rosenkreuzertum, zum Neuplatonismus, zur christlichen Kabbala und zur Mystik. Er aussert sich in einer neuen Hinwendung zur Natur als Schopfung Gottes, indem er in den chemischen und biologischen Prozessen, die diese Natur konstituieren, immer den Geist Gottes am Werk sieht. Er aussert sich aber auch in einem neuen Begriff der Liebe, die als allumfassendes Prinzip gedacht wird. Was den Hermetismus der Fruhen Neuzeit fur Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftler besondere interessant macht, ist die Vielfalt literarischer und kunstlerischer Formen, derer er sich bedient. Vom Roman bis zum Gedicht, vom philosophischen Traktat bis zu Gebet und Andachtsliteratur, vom Lied bis zum Emblem finden sich die verschiedensten Gattungen vertreten.

The ancient Mysteries have long attracted the interest of scholars, an interest that goes back at least to the time of the Reformation. After a period of interest around the turn of the twentieth century, recent decades have seen an important study of Walter Burkert (1987). Yet his thematic approach makes it hard to see how the actual initiation into the Mysteries took place. To do precisely that is the aim of this book. It gives a ‘thick description’ of the major Mysteries, not only of the famous Eleusinian Mysteries, but also those located at the interface of Greece and Anatolia: the Mysteries of Samothrace, Imbros and Lemnos as well as those of the Corybants. It then proceeds to look at the Orphic-Bacchic Mysteries, which have become increasingly better understood due to the many discoveries of new texts in the recent times. Having looked at classical Greece we move on to the Roman Empire, where we study not only the lesser Mysteries, which we know especially from Pausanias, but also the new ones of Isis and Mithras. We conclude our book with a discussion of the possible influence of the Mysteries on emerging Christianity. Its detailed references and up-to-date bibliography will make this book indispensable for any scholar interested in the Mysteries and ancient religion, but also for those scholars who work on initiation or esoteric rituals, which were often inspired by the ancient Mysteries.

From earliest times the Western Church has fiercely debated questions about the place of the ministry within the Church and Church government. What requirements should be met by candidates for holy orders and what do we expect of priests and ministers: personal holiness, training for their calling, social skills or merely the possession of official ordination? The Church has at different times produced very different answers and the 30 scholars from Britain, the Netherlands, and Belgium, whose papers in this volume follow the course of the debate concerning the good shepherd from the early church through to modern times, show on the one hand what happens to Christian communities that have lost a clear view of the functions of the ministry and on the other just how much trust people have always placed in their priests and pastors.

Exploring the nexus of music and religious education involves fundamental questions regarding music itself, its nature, its interpretation, and its importance in relation to both education and the religious practices into which it is integrated. This cross-disciplinary volume of essays offers the first comprehensive set of studies to examine the role of music in educational and religious reform and the underlying notions of music in early modern Europe. It elucidates the context and manner in which music served as a means of religious teaching and learning during that time, thereby identifying the religio-cultural and intellectual foundations of early modern European musical phenomena and their significance for exploring the interplay of music and religious education today.

This book offers an innovative engagement with the diverse histories of colonial and indigenous medicines. Engagement with different kinds of colonialism and varied indigenous socio-political cultures has led to a wide range of approaches and increasingly distinct traditions of historical writing about colonial and indigenous modes of healing have emerged in the various regions formerly ruled by different colonial powers. The volume offers a much-needed opportunity to explore new conceptual perspectives and encourages critical reflection on how scholars’ research specialisms have influenced their approaches to the history of medicine and healing. The book includes contributions on different geographical regions in Asia, Africa and the Americas and within the varied contexts of Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch and British colonialisms. It deals with issues such as internal colonialism, the plural history of objects, transregional circulation and entanglement, and the historicisation of medical historiography. The chapters in the volume explore the scope for conceptual interaction between authors from diverse disciplines and different regions, highlighting the synergies and thematic commonalities as well as differences and divergences.

As the first translator of Plato's complete works into Latin, the Florentine writer Marsilio Ficino (1433-99) and his blend of Neoplatonic and Hermetic philosophy were fundamental to the intellectual atmosphere of the Renaissance. In Spain, his works were regularly read, quoted, and referenced, at least until the nineteenth century, when literary critics and philosophers wrote him out of the history of early modern Spain. In Ficino in Spain, Susan Byrne uses textual and bibliographic evidence to show the pervasive impact of Ficino's writings and translations on the Spanish Renaissance. Cataloguing everything from specific mentions of his name in major texts to glossed volumes of his works in Spanish libraries, Byrne shows that Spanish writers such as Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Bartolomé de las Casas, and Garcilaso de la Vega all responded to Ficino and adapted his imagery for their own works. An important contribution to the study of Spanish literature and culture from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries, Ficino in Spain recovers the role that Hermetic and Neoplatonic thought played in the world of Spanish literature.
