Castrum sanctae Mariae
Dieser Band dokumentiert die Marienburg und ihre wechselnden Funktionen als Zentrum des Deutschen Ordens, als Residenz der polnischen Könige, einer Jesuitenschule und schließlich als Erinnerungsstätte. Sie gilt als größte mittelalterliche Burganlage Europas, entging aber nach 1772 nur knapp dem Abriss, ehe 1817 die Wiederherstellung durch den preußischen Staat begann. 1945 wurden große Teile des Schlosses zerstört. Seither haben polnische Restauratoren das Baudenkmal gesichert und rekonstruiert. Der krönende Abschluss dieser Arbeiten war die Wiederherstellung der Kirche und der überlebensgroßen Marienfigur in ihrem Chorabschluss im Jahr 2016. The volume contains the contributions ...
Arma spiritualia
Arno Mentzel-Reuters Habilitationsschrift untersucht auf der Grundlage von historischen Bibliotheksinventaren und Handschriften das Verhaltnis des mittelalterlichen Deutschen Ordens zu Literatur und Bildung. Es zeigt sich in der Organisation wie der Literaturauswahl der Bibliotheken und in den von Ordensangehorigen verfassten oder bearbeiteten Texten das Bemuhen um eine verstarkte Klerikalisierung des Ordens, die von der Ordensleitung gewollt und von den Priesterbrudern betrieben wurde. Im Zentrum dieses Prozesses stehen die dem Orden inkorporierten Domkapitel sowie die hochmeisterlichen Kaplane der Marienburg; aber auch andere vornehmlich mit Priesterbrudern besetzte Konvente wie etwa die O...

Religious Rites of War beyond the Medieval West
This is Volume One of a two-volume collection that brings together contributions from cultural and military history to offer an examination of religious rites employed in connection with warfare as well as their transformative and power- and identity-building potential across political communities of medieval Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe. Covering the period ca. 900 and 1500, the work takes theoretical, textual and practical approaches to the research on religious warfare, and investigates the connections between, and significance and function of crucial war rituals such as pre-, intra- and postbellum rites, as well as various activities surrounding the military life of individuals, polities, and corporates. Contributors are Robert Antonín, Robert Bubczyk, Dariusz Dąbrowski, Jesse Harrington, Carsten Selch Jensen, Sini Kangas, Radosław Kotecki, Gregory Leighton, Kyle C. Lincoln, Jacek Maciejewski, Yulia Mikhailova, Max Naderer, László Veszprémy, and Dušan Zupka.

Most of us know of the Indo-European roots of European languages, but how did this precursor language take hold and what did Europe look like before it did so? This book explores the continent before the spread of the Indo-Europeans, examines its indigenous population and the contacts it had with Indo-European and Uralic immigrants, and, ultimately, asks how these origins led to the development of that crucial singularity for Europe’s languages. Drawing on archaeology, religious studies, and palaeography, the contributors offer a detailed and comprehensive picture of Europe’s linguistic and, in turn, cultural prehistory.
The Templars and their Sources
Even 700 years after the suppression of the Order of the Temple and the execution of the last grandmaster, Jacques de Molay, there is no shortage of publications on this influential military order. Yet unlike other medieval institutions the Templars are subject to speculative fiction and popular myth which threaten to swamp the fruits of scholarly endeavour. Fortunately, recent years have produced a thriving academic scholarship which is challenging these myths. More and more sources are currently being edited, particularly those for the trial of the Templars (1307–1312). Others are still awaiting indepth study, among them, surprisingly, the greater part of the charters that cover more tha...
