A great number of historical examples show how desperate people sought to obtain a glimpse of the future or explain certain incidents retrospectively through signs that had occurred in advance. In that sense, signs are always considered a portent of future events. In different societies, and at different times, the written or unwritten rules regarding their interpretation varied, although there was perhaps a common understanding of these processes. This present volume collates essays from specialists in the field of prognostication in the European Middle Ages. Contributors are Klaus Herbers, Wolfram Brandes, Zhao Lu, Rolf Scheuermann, Thomas Krümpel, Bernardo Bertholin Kerr, Gaelle Bosseman, Julia Eva Wannenmacher (†), Matthias Kaup, Vincent Gossaert, Jürgen Gebhardt, Matthias Gebauer, Richard Landes.

The Routledge Handbook of Environmental History presents a cutting-edge overview of the dynamic and ever-expanding field of environmental history. It addresses recent transformations in the field and responses to shifting scholarly, political, and environmental landscapes. The handbook fully and critically engages with recent exciting changes, contextualizes them within longer-term shifts in the field, and charts potential new directions for study. It focuses on five key areas: Theories and concepts related to changing considerations of social justice, including postcolonial, antiracist, and feminist approaches, and the field’s growing emphasis on multiple human voices and agencies. The roles of non-humans and the more-than-human in the telling of environmental histories, from animals and plants to insects as vectors of disease and the influences of water and ice, the changing theoretical approaches and the influence of concepts in related areas such as animal and discard studies. How changes in theories and concepts are shaping methods in environmental history and shifting approaches to traditional sources like archives and oral histories as well as experiments by practitioners with new methods and sources. Responses to a range of current complex problems, such as climate change, and how environmental historians can best help mitigate and resolve these problems. Diverse ways in which environmental historians disseminate their research within and beyond academia, including new modes of research dissemination, teaching, and engagements with stakeholders and the policy arena. This is an important resource for environmental historians, researchers and students in the related fields of political ecology, environmental studies, natural resources management and environmental planning.

How widespread was authorship among rulers in the premodern Islamic world? The writings of different types of rulers in different regions and periods are analyzed in this book, from the early centuries in the central lands of Islam to 19th century Sudan. The composition of poetry appears as the most fertile area for authorship among rulers. Prose writings show a wide variety, from astrology to bookmaking, from autobiography to creeds. Some of the rulers made claims to special knowledge, but in all cases authorship played a special role in the construction of the rulers' authority and legitimacy.

In Unveiling the Hidden—Anticipating the Future: Divinatory Practices Among Jews Between Qumran and the Modern Period, Josefina Rodríguez-Arribas and Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum collect ten studies based on primary sources ranging from Qumran to the modern period and covering Europe and the Mediterranean basin. The studies show Jews practising divination (astrology, bibliomancy, physiognomy, dream requests, astral magic, etc.) and implementing the study and practice of the prognostic arts in ways that allowed Jews to make them "Jewish," by avoiding any conflict with Jewish law or halakhah. These studies focus on the Jewish components of this divination, providing specific firsthand details about the practices and their practitioners within their cultural and intellectual contexts—as well as their fears, wishes, and anxieties—using ancient scrolls and medieval manuscripts in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Judaeo-Arabic. Contributors are Michael D. Swartz, Helen R. Jacobus, Alessia Bellusci, Blanca Villuendas Sabaté, Shraga Bar-On, Josefina Rodríguez-Arribas, Amos Geula, Dov Schwartz, Joseph Ziegler, and Charles Burnett.

The only comprehensive, single-volume survey of magic available, this compelling book traces the history of magic, witchcraft, and superstitious practices such as popular spells or charms from antiquity to the present day. Focusing especially on Europe in the medieval and early modern eras, Michael Bailey also explores the ancient Near East, classical Greece and Rome, and the spread of magical systems_particularly modern witchcraft or Wicca_from Europe to the United States. He examines how magic and superstition have been defined in various historical eras and how these constructions have changed over time. He considers the ways in which specific categories of magic have been condemned, and how those identified as magicians or witches have been persecuted and prosecuted in various societies. Although conceptions of magic have changed over time, the author shows how magic has almost always served as a boundary marker separating socially acceptable actions from illicit ones, and more generally the known and understood from the unknown and occult.

Two opposing views of the future in the Middle Ages dominate recent historical scholarship. According to one opinion, medieval societies were expecting the near end of the world and therefore had no concept of the future. According to the other opinion, the expectation of the near end created a drive to change the world for the better and thus for innovation. Close inspection of the history of prognostication reveals the continuous attempts and multifold methods to recognize and interpret God’s will, the prodigies of nature, and the patterns of time. That proves, on the one hand, the constant human uncertainty facing the contingencies of the future. On the other hand, it demonstrates the firm believe during the Middle Ages in a future which could be shaped and even manipulated. The handbook provides the first overview of current historical research on medieval prognostication. It considers the entangled influences and transmissions between Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and non-monotheistic societies during the period from a wide range of perspectives. An international team of 63 renowned authors from about a dozen different academic disciplines contributed to this comprehensive overview.

Menschen träumen – mutmaßlich schon immer – nachts, tagsüber und in politischen Visionen und Utopien. Aber wovon sie träumen, wie sie träumen, wie Träume wahrgenommen werden und welche Bedeutung man ihnen individuell, gesellschaftlich, politisch und wissenschaftlich beimisst, unterliegt historischem Wandel. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes stehen Fragen nach den Inhalten des Geträumten, Imaginierten oder Ersonnenen sowie Betrachtungen zu den Träumenden, Visionären oder Utopisten der Geschichte. Die Beiträge thematisieren zudem sowohl theoretische und methodische Aspekte einer Traumgeschichte als auch Überlegungen zu den Begriffen, Semantiken und Diskursen des Traums und zu seinen visuellen Repräsentationen.

Mittelalterliche Menschen waren in ihrer Abhängigkeit ständig bemüht, den Willen Gottes zu lesen, und suchten so nach Spuren des Heiligen in Naturphänomenen wie in irdischen Begebenheiten. Die Edition versammelt herausragende und besonders einflussreiche Schriften zur Divination und Zukunftsschau und zeigt so die Vielfalt und den Wandel im Denken der Zeitgenossen über die Prognostik. Von Größen der Spätantike wie Tertullian, Hieronymus und Augustinus über Gregor den Großen, Isidor von Sevilla und Hrabanus Maurus und die Philosophen Albertus Magnus und Thomas von Aquin bis zu spätmittelalterlichen Texten von Raimundus Lullus oder De superstitionibus, den Bestseller des 15. Jahrhunderts von Nikolaus Magni von Jauer. Die Quellensammlung zeigt, welche Bedeutung die größten Denker des Mittelalter der Zukunftsschau beimaßen. Sie ist in ihrer bestechenden Zusammenstellung ein absolutes Desiderat.

"Beschwert und überladen" - Mit diesen Worten beklagten sich oberschwäbische Bauern bei Ihrer Obrigkeit im Frühjahr 1525. Was mit Protestversammlungen und Beschwerdeschriften begann, endete wenige Monate später in blutigen Massakern mit Tausenden von Toten, dem sogenannten "Bauernkrieg". Wofür starben sie? Starben Sie umsonst? Worum ging es wirklich? Die Masse der Bauern - so die Ausgangsthese - kämpfte schlicht für ein würdevolles Leben. Sie wollten ihre Familien ernähren, sie wollten ihre Angelegenheiten selbst regeln und sie wollten ihr Seelenheil sichern können. Das wollten ihre geistlichen und weltlichen Herren auch. Die Ressourcen hätten für alle gereicht. Die einzelnen Beiträge dieses Tagungsbandes zeigen überzeugend: Da, wo nach einem Ausgleich der Interessen gesucht wurde, musste niemand sterben. Gemordet wurde da, wo eine Seite glaubte, ihre Interessen rücksichtslos durchsetzen zu können.

Nach einem geflügelten Wort wird die »Geschichte von den Siegern geschrieben«. Demgegenüber steht die These Reinhart Kosellecks, dass Niederlagen und ihre Verarbeitung die Entstehung von Erklärungs- und Kompensationsmustern bedingen: Die Erfahrung des Besiegtwerdens könne einen »Erfahrungsgewinn« ermöglichen; Sieger hingegen müssten ihre Denkmodelle nicht hinterfragen, da sie gerade durch kurzfristige Erfolge bestätigt wurden. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen ein breites Spektrum an Formen des Umgangs mit militärischen Niederlagen in Antike und Mittelalter und stellen damit Kosellecks These erstmals großflächig auf die Probe.
