Das Wissen um die Zukunft, die Fähigkeit, Ereignisse vorauszuschauen und die Gegenwart aus dem, was kommt, zu begreifen, wurde seit der Antike als göttliches Privileg verstanden. Nicht zuletzt infolge der Rezeption entsprechender antiker Texte spielten Voraussagen über die Zukunft gerade auch in der Renaissance eine wichtige Rolle. Viele der heute geltenden vermeintlich wissenschaftlichen oder vermeintlich magischen Methoden und Praktiken der Zukunftsvoraussage, die in den letzten Jahren in Deutschland eine erstaunliche Verbreitung gefunden haben, gehen zurück auf die Zeit der Renaissance und der Frühen Neuzeit. Schon damals wurden sie keinesfalls nur geschätzt und bewundert, sondern auch kontrovers diskutiert. Diesen Zusammenhängen, die auch zur Beurteilung der gegenwärtigen Situation beitragen, gehen die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge nach in der Absicht, über die vielfältigen Auffassungen, Methoden und Praktiken der Prognostik durch eine Erhellung ihrer geschichtlichen Entwicklung neue Einsichten zu gewinnen und zu vermitteln. Aus dem Inhalt (14 Beiträge): W. Ludwig, Zukunftsvoraussagen in der Antike, der frühen Neuzeit und heute U. Muhlack, Zukunftsvorstellungen bei humanistischen Geschichtsschreibern des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts S. Schmolinsky, Prophetia in der Bibliothek - die Lectionesmemorabiles des Johannes Wolff V. Leppin, Humanistische Gelehrsamkeit und Zukunftsansage: Philipp Melanchthon und das Chronicon Carionis D. Schäfer, Hora incerta - Die Prognose des Todes in der Medizin der Renaissance

It has been called “the most singular centaur that religion and science have ever produced” (Franz Boll). Astrology as a cultural form has puzzled and fascinated generations of humankind. It reached its apogee in the European Renaissance, when it flourished in literature, political expression, medicine, art, and all the other areas of endeavor catalogued in this unique collection. Brill’s Companion to Renaissance Astrology brings together a wide array of expertise from around the globe to explain the method and matter of this cultural form, including the Arab and Classical heritage, the medieval tradition, the clash with organized religion, the influence on knowledge and the competition with newly emerging ways of knowing, summarizing the current state of research and suggesting new paths. Contributors include: Giuseppe Bezza, Dieter Blume, Claudia Brosseder, Brendan Dooley, William Eamon, Ornella Faracovi, Hiro Hirai, Wolfgang Hübner, Eileen Reeves, Steven Vanden Broecke, and Graziella Federici Vescovini.

How did early modern societies think about disasters, such as earthquakes or floods? How did they represent disaster, and how did they intervene to mitigate its destructive effects? This collection showcases the breadth of new work on the period ca. 1300-1750. Covering topics that range from new thinking about risk and securitisation to the protection of dikes from shipworm, and with a geography that extends from Europe to Spanish America, the volume places early modern disaster studies squarely at the intersection of intellectual, cultural and socio-economic history. This period witnessed fresh speculation on nature, the diffusion of disaster narratives and imagery and unprecedented attempts to control the physical world. The book will be essential to specialists and students of environmental history and disaster, as well as general readers who seek to discover how pre-industrial societies addressed some of the same foundational issues we grapple with today.

Joachim of Fiore and the Influence of Inspiration. Essays in Memory of Marjorie E. Reeves (1905-2003) is a title that is deliberately reminiscent of the title of Marjorie Reeves’ opus magnum: her book ’The Influence of Prophecy in the Later Middle Ages’ has been fundamental in the field of Joachimist studies from its publication in 1969 right up until today. The present volume is inspired both by Joachim of Fiore’s lasting influence, which can be found in many places from the early thirteenth century until postmodern times, and by Marjorie Reeves’s unsurpassed scholarly achievements and her inspiring personality. British, Continental and American scholars of several generations, from different academic disciplines, follow the paths she has opened, try to answer questions she was the first to ask, offer new insights and new texts in state of the art editions, immersing themselves deeply into materials Marjorie Reeves had provided us with in the field of Joachimism and the influence of prophecy. The volume is divided into three parts. In the first, the studies shed new light on different aspects of Joachim of Fiore’s life and work. The second and third parts are dedicated to Joachim’s afterlife -- with the contemporary and late medieval reception of Joachim’s thought in the Iberian Peninsula, England, and Provence, and then on on Joachim’s Wirkungsgeschichte in early modern England and Germany.

The information overload produced by the printing press and the new forms of the structuring of knowledge are echoed in fictional works.

Literary Works like the Libro buen amor, La Lozana Andaluza, or the Guzmán de Alfarache are read against the backdrop of scientific developments of their times.

Despite its popular association today with magic, astrology was once a complex and sophisticated practice, grounded in technical training provided by a university education. The Crown and the Cosmos examines the complex ways that political practice and astrological discourse interacted at the Habsburg court, a key center of political and cultural power in early modern Europe. Like other monarchs, Maximilian I used astrology to help guide political actions, turning to astrologers and their predictions to find the most propitious times to sign treaties or arrange marriage contracts. Perhaps more significantly, the emperor employed astrology as a political tool to gain support for his reforms and to reinforce his own legitimacy as well as that of the Habsburg dynasty. Darin Hayton analyzes the various rhetorical tools astrologers used to argue for the nobility, antiquity, and utility of their discipline, and how they strove to justify their "science" on the grounds that through its rigorous interpretation of the natural world, astrology could offer more reliable predictions. This book draws on extensive printed and manuscript sources from archives across northern and central Europe, including Poland, Germany, France, and England.

Dag Nikolaus Hasse shows how ideological and scientific motives led to the decline of Arabic traditions in European culture. The Renaissance was a turning point: on the one hand, Arabic scientific traditions reached their peak of influence in Europe; on the other, during this period the West began to forget, or suppress, its debt to Arabic culture.
