Mit dem Königshof Alfons’ X. von Kastilien-León (1252-1284) untersucht die vorliegende Studie eine zentrale politische und wissensmehrende Institution des Hochmittelalters, die zugleich ein bedeutendes Zentrum interkultureller Kontakte war. Dabei fragt sie nach dem Verhältnis von Wissen und Kultur, von Politik und Gesellschaft in seiner historischen wie in seiner forschungsgeschichtlichen Konzeption. Die Fragestellung öffnet den Weg zu einer Geistes- und Ideengeschichte Spaniens im Mittelalter und präzisiert zugleich den spanischen Sonderweg in der europäischen Entwicklung. Was aber machte Alfons X. in den Augen seiner Zeitgenossen zu einem Weisen, in der Einschätzung der Nachlebenden zu einem Herrscher, der seine Macht verspielte? Die Antwort liegt in der Einheit der höfischen Lebensbereiche, in der Einheit von Politik und Kultur. Interpretieren die gängigen Deutungen das Verhältnis von Politik und Kultur bisher weitgehend funktional, so beschreibt Barbara Schlieben diesen Zusammenhang als vielschichtiges Wechselspiel, das sich einer zweckhaften Eindeutigkeit entzieht. Grundlage hierfür ist ein dynamischer Wissensbegriff, der die Komplexität eines mittelalterlichen Königshofes zu erfassen vermag und zugleich vor verkürzten, utilitaristischen Wissensdiskussionen der Gegenwart warnt.

This collection provides a systematic survey of the wide readership the works of Godfrey of Viterbo enjoyed in the late Middle Ages. In the last years of the twelfth century this chronicler and imperial notary wrote a series of historical collections that gained considerable and lasting popularity: between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, his works were copied in elaborate manuscripts in almost all of Latin Europe. This wide distribution is particularly surprising for an author like Godfrey whom modern historians have never credited with any importance at all, as they considered his works chaotic and historically unreliable. Yet Godfrey was certainly one of the most daring historiographers of his time. In his works, the lineage of the Hohenstaufen emperors Frederick Barbarossa and Henry VI is traced directly to Charlemagne and Augustus, to the kings of Troy and of the Old Testament, and to Jupiter and everyone who, in his view, wielded imperial power in the past. Godfrey was a herald of the new political ideas the Hohenstaufen developed after the years of defeat against the papacy and the Italian communes, but also a universal chronicler whose interests reached far beyond the political issues of his day. Bringing together a group of specialists on manuscripts and historical writing in late medieval England, Spain, Italy, Germany, Bohemia and Poland, this volume aims to revive Godfrey’s reputation by demonstrating how his works were understood by medieval readers.

Jan Huizinga and Roger Caillois have already taught us to realize how important games and play have been for pre-modern civilization. Recent research has begun to acknowledge the fundamental importance of these aspects in cultural, religious, philosophical, and literary terms. This volume expands on the traditional approach still very much focused on the materiality of game (toys, cards, dice, falcons, dolls, etc.) and acknowledges that game constituted also a form of coming to terms with human existence in an unstable and volatile world determined by universal randomness and fortune. Whether considering blessings or horse fighting, falconry or card games, playing with dice or dolls, we can gain a much deeper understanding of medieval and early modern society when we consider how people pursued pleasure and how they structured their leisure time. The contributions examine a wide gamut of approaches to pleasure, considering health issues, eroticism, tournaments, playing music, reading and listening, drinking alcohol, gambling and throwing dice. This large issue was also relevant, of course, in non-Christian societies, and constitutes a critical concern both for the past and the present because we are all homines ludentes.

The portrayal of princes plays a central role in the historical literature of the European Renaissance. The sixteen contributions collected in this volume examine such portrayals in a broad variety of historiographical, biographical, and poetic texts. It emerges clearly that historical portrayals were not essentially bound by generic constraints but instead took the form of res gestae or historiae, discrete or collective biographies, panegyric, mirrors for princes, epic poetry, orations, even commonplace books – whatever the occasion called for. Beyond questions of genre, the chapters focus on narrative strategies and the transformation of ancient, medieval, and contemporary authors, as well as on the influence of political, cultural, intellectual, and social contexts. Four broad thematic foci inform the structure of this book: the virtues ascribed to the prince, the cultural and political pretensions inscribed in literary portraits, the historical and literary models on which these portraits were based, and the method that underlay them. The volume is rounded out by a critical summary that considers the portrayal of princes in humanist historiogrpahy from the point of view of transformation theory.

Since the fifteenth century, when humanist writers began to speak of a “middle” period in history linking their time to the ancient world, the nature of the Middle Ages has been widely debated. Across the millennium from 500 to 1500, distinguished historian Johannes Fried describes a dynamic confluence of political, social, religious, economic, and scientific developments that draws a guiding thread through the era: the growth of a culture of reason. “Fried’s breadth of knowledge is formidable and his passion for the period admirable...Those with a true passion for the Middle Ages will be thrilled by this ambitious defensio.” —Dan Jones, Sunday Times “Reads like a counterblast to the hot air of the liberal-humanist interpreters of European history...[Fried] does justice both to the centrifugal fragmentation of the European region into monarchies, cities, republics, heresies, trade and craft associations, vernacular literatures, and to the persistence of unifying and homogenizing forces: the papacy, the Western Empire, the schools, the friars, the civil lawyers, the bankers, the Crusades...Comprehensive coverage of the whole medieval continent in flux.” —Eric Christiansen, New York Review of Books “[An] absorbing book...Fried covers much in the realm of ideas on monarchy, jurisprudence, arts, chivalry and courtly love, millenarianism and papal power, all of it a rewarding read.” —Sean McGlynn, The Spectator

The present volume presents some of the latest research trends in the study of Late Antiquity in the Eastern Roman Empire from a multi-disciplinary perspective, encompassing not only social, economic and political history, but also philology, philosophy and legal history. The volume focuses on the interaction between the periphery and the core of the Eastern Empire, and the relations between Eastern Romans and Barbarians in various geographic areas, during the approximate millennium that elapsed between the Fall of Rome and the Fall of Constantinople, paying special attention to the earliest period. By introducing the reader to some innovative and ground-breaking recent theories, the contributors to the present volume, an attractive combination of leading scholars in their respective fields and promising young researchers, offer a fresh and thought-provoking examination of Byzantium during Late Antiquity and beyond.

›Macht‹ und ›Herrschaft‹ als prägende politisch-gesellschaftliche Organisationsformen sozialer Ordnung der Vormoderne werden in dieser kommentierten Zusammenstellung von Texten, Bildern und Artefakten anschaulich. Gut gewählte Fallbeispiele beleuchten die thematischen Felder ›Konflikt und Konsens‹, ›Personalität und Transpersonalität‹, ›Zentrum und Peripherie‹ sowie ›Idealisierung und Kritik‹ und stellen sie jeweils in einer Kombination aus europäischen und außereuropäischen Fachperspektiven vor. Um eine transkulturelle Vergleichbarkeit zu erleichtern, folgen alle Beiträge, soweit möglich und sinnvoll, einem gemeinsamen Muster. Dabei sichern Übersetzungen fremdsprachlicher Texte oder von Texten aus älteren Sprachstufen auch für Nicht-Fachkundige den Zugang zu den jeweiligen Zeugnissen. The anthology encompasses texts, images and artefacts from premodern times and thereby gives an impression of contemporary forms of dealing with the social phenomena of ›Macht‹ and ›Herrschaft‹. By picking out well-chosen examples, the contributions shed light on basic thematic constellations like ›conflict and consensus‹, ›personality and transpersonality‹, ›core and periphery‹, and ›idealization and criticism‹. Thereby every field is represented by European as well as by Non-European examples, and this means that comparison in a transcultural perspective is made possible. To further such comparison, all articles follow as far as possible a common scheme, first introducing and contextualizing the chosen example, then presenting, commentating and analyzing it with respect to configurations of ›Macht‹ and ›Herrschaft‹. Translations from textual sources from foreign languages or from the Middle High German make sure that readers who are not specialized in the particular field can grasp their content and relevance.
