Poets Laureate in the Holy Roman Empire
Petrarch’s revival of the ancient practice of laureation in 1341 led to the laurel being conferred on poets throughout Europe in the later Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Within the Holy Roman Empire, Maximilian I conferred the title of Imperial Poet Laureate especially frequently, and later it was bestowed with unbridled liberality by Counts Palatine and university rectors too. This handbook identifies more than 1300 poets laureated within the Empire and adjacent territories between 1355 and 1804, giving (wherever possible) a sketch of their lives, a list of their published works, and a note of relevant scholarly literature. The introduction and various indexes provide a detailed account of a now largely forgotten but once significant literary-sociological phenomenon and illuminate literary networks in the Early Modern period. A supplementary Volume 5 of Poets Laureate in the Holy Roman Empire. A Bio-bibliographical Handbook will be published in June 2019.
Tracing Hospital Boundaries
Tracing Hospital Boundaries explores, for the first time, how the forces of both integration and segregation shaped hospitals and their communities between the eleventh and twentieth centuries in Europe, North America and Africa. Within this broad comparative context it also shines a light on a number of case studies from Southeastern Europe. The eleven chapters show how people’s access to, and experience of, healthcare institutions was affected by social, cultural and economic, as well as medical, dynamics. These same factors intersected with developing healthcare technologies to shape hospital design and location, as well as internal policies and practices. The volume produces a new history of the hospital in which boundaries – both physical and symbolic – are frequently contested and redrawn. Contributors are Irena Benyovsky Latin, David Gentilcore, Annemarie Kinzelbach, Rina Kralj-Brassard, Ivana Lazarević, Clement Masakure, Anna Peterson, Egidio Priani, Gordan Ravančić, Jonathan Reinarz, Jane Stevens Crawshaw, David Theodore, Christina Vanja, George Weisz, and Valentina Živković.

Aspects of the Astrolabe
"The astrolabe - often quoted as "the earliest computer" - is a mechanical instrument capable of performing astronomical computations. This study offers a new interpretation of its role in the Latin culture of the High Middle Ages, highlighting its epistemological significance. For Latin scholars around the year 1000, the astrolabe became the earliest, non-verbal channel to access and assimilate mathematical knowledge from the Arabic culture, and could be seen as representing a divine 'architectonical rationality' which humans could share in the mathematical experience. The novel methodology of this work combines the results of historical and philological analyses of manuscripts and material sources with the most recent insights on different kinds of mathematical thinking. Focussing on drawings and text fragments, with a new, detailed analysis of ms. Paris BnF 7412 (11th c), the study reconstructs the Latin high medieval mathematical experience, its non-verbal modes of communication and its relationship with both practice and philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
A History of Palliative Care, 1500-1970
This book on the history of palliative care, 1500-1970 traces the historical roots of modern palliative care in Europe to the rise of the hospice movement in the 1960s. The author discusses largely forgotten premodern concepts like cura palliativa and euthanasia medica and describes, how patients and physicians experienced and dealt with terminal illness. He traces the origins of hospitals for incurable and dying patients and follows the long history of ethical debates on issues like truth-telling and the intentional shortening of the dying patients’ lives and the controversies they sparked between physicians and patients. An eye opener for anyone interested in the history of ethical decision making regarding terminal care of critically ill patients.

"Moderne" Anstaltspsychiatrie im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert
Die enge Beziehung zwischen Legitimation und Kritik in der historischen Ara der "modernen" Anstaltspsychiatrie steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Sammelbandes. Die Analysen beschranken sich dabei nicht auf die Psychiatriekritik von Nicht-Psychiatern an der Einschliessungspraxis und den Verhaltnissen in psychiatrischen Anstalten, sondern erweitern die Perspektive auf die zeitgenossische (selbst)kritische Auseinandersetzung mit Psychiatrischer Wissenschaft und Wissensgenerierung. Die kritische Auseinandersetzung verschiedener Offentlichkeiten mit der psychiatrischen Profession, ihrer Wissenschaft und ihren Institutionen sowie zuletzt die subjektiven Erfahrungen von Patienten mit der Psychiatrie runde...

Orthopädie im Wandel
Ein rundes Jahrhundert haben Orthop�die und Orthop�den gebraucht, um sich als medizinische Wissenschaftsdiziplin und fach�rztlicher Berufsstand zu etablieren. Dieser Entwicklung nachzugehen und dabei den Wandel, aber auch die Kontinuit�ten - v.a. im Hinblick auf die �pr�mature� handwerklich-laikale Spezialisierung des beginnenden 19. Jahrhunderts - einsichtig zu machen, ist das Ziel des vorliegenden Buches. Erstmals wird hier das historische Quellenmaterial nicht nur umfassend pr�sentiert, sondern es werden bei dessen Interpretation auch - bislang noch weitgehend unbeachtet gebliebene - wissenschaftstheoretische und wissenschaftssoziologische Deutungsmuster genutzt. Dies erm�glicht neue Schlu�folgerungen, die die Vielfalt der Entwicklungsfaktoren beruecksichtigten, ohne aus Gruenden der Modellbildung einen wesentlichen Teil auszublenden.
