The Fish Lands
The late medieval German trade with the North Atlantic islands, in the margins of the Hanseatic trade network, has received only limited scholarly attention. Merchants from predominantly Hamburg and Bremen established direct trade relations with these islands in the late 15th century, and managed to control the international trade with Iceland, the Faroes and Shetland for much of the 16th century. However, the Hanseatic commercial infrastructure was absent in the North Atlantic, which forced these merchants to develop new trade strategies. Besides a critical re-evaluation of the economic and political conditions, this volume offers a comprehensive study of the organisation of the trade and the methods used to establish and maintain networks between islanders and German merchants. Moreover, it analyses the role and socio-economic position of the communities of merchants with the North Atlantic in their home towns. The book shows that the North Atlantic trade was anything but insignificant. It was a dynamic and integral part of the trade network of the northern German cities, and its study is highly relevant for the economic history of Northern Europe.

Integrated Mission
There can be no doubt the positive influence the Lausanne Movement has had on current approaches to evangelical global missions since its inception in 1974. But as with all things made and organized by humankind, it should not be above critique. Dr. Sarah Nicholl asserts spirituality, now often seen as an individual rather than communal endeavour, has been disconnected from the missional practices in the movement. In bringing together missiology, mission practice and spirituality, she joins a chorus of scholars calling for more integration between areas of theory and practice. This book defines this synergy as “integrated mission,” and to illustrate what this mission can look like draws upon the writings and lives of four mission-oriented Christians: John Wesley, St. Ignatius of Loyola, Orlando Costas and Fr. Segundo Galilea. This book reasons all believers practising this way of mission will be animated, rooted and participatory with the triune God in the missio Dei to the world.
Managing Mobility in Early Modern Europe and its Empires
This book examines how migration and mobility were controlled, supported, and restricted in early modern Europe and European colonies. The aim of the book is to investigate how different actors, such as rulers, regional lords, local authorities, and corporations tried to regulate different forms of mobility and how those on the move reacted to these attempts. The book examines the agency of both the authorities and the migrants, shifting focus between the macro and the micro level. The chapters will also illuminate the ways gender, religion, language, ethnicity, occupation, and socioeconomic status were entangled in the regulations concerning mobility. Control of migration is inextricably linked with power relations. In this book, mobility is seen as a wide social process, which covers daily or seasonal movement as well as less or more stable migration.
Landes- und Regionalgeschichte digital
Wie andere wissenschaftliche Disziplinen ist auch die landes- und regionalhistorische Forschung stark vom digitalen Wandel betroffen. Neuen Recherche- und Zugangsmöglichkeiten stehen veränderte Herausforderungen in der Ordnung und Systematisierung des Wissens gegenüber. Gewandelte Formen der Präsentation und der Verbreitung von Forschungsergebnissen, des kollaborativen Arbeitens und der Auswertung von Quellen beeinflussen den wissenschaftlichen Prozess. Der Sammelband bietet verschiede Blickwinkel auf das Thema: die Angebotsseite von Kultur- und Gedächtniseinrichtungen wie Archiven, Bibliotheken und Museen sowie der außeruniversitären Forschungsinstitute, besonders am Beispiel der Reg...
Paper Stories - Paper and Book History in Early Modern Europe
This peer-reviewed conference volume examines paper and material aspects of the written word in early modern Europe. The collection is designed around three thematic strands, based on the lifecycle of handwritten documents and manuscripts and printed books: first, production of paper, second production of books and manuscripts and third, trade and exchange, and ownership of manuscripts and books. By tracing the history of paper, books and collections through case studies of historically important objects, the authors identify agents and hotspots of production, trade and ownership from both centres and peripheries of Europe from the late Middle Ages until the beginning of industrialisation. They thereby address material aspects of documents, manuscripts and books, as well as object biography, from an interdisciplinary viewpoint. By doing so this volume provides insight into actual practices of the past and the material history of written texts.
Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities
The Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities explores the digital methods and tools scholars use to observe, interpret, and manage nature in several different academic fields. Employing historical, philosophical, linguistic, literary, and cultural lenses, this handbook explores how the digital environmental humanities (DEH), as an emerging field, recognises its convergence with the environmental humanities. As such, it is empirically, critically, and ethically engaged in exploring digitally mediated, visualised, and parsed framings of past, present, and future environments, landscapes, and cultures. Currently, humanities, geographical, cartographical, informatic, and comput...
A Cultural History of the Sea in the Medieval Age
Throughout history, how has the sea served as a site for cross-cultural exchange, trade and migration? As historians, how do the fields of naval history, maritime history and oceanic history intersect?056 experts, 48 chapters and over 1,700 pages explore how representation and understanding of the sea has developed over 2,500 years of cultural and natural history. Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of reading about a specific period in one of the volumes, or following a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of the six. The s...

Natur als Ressource und Gefahr
Die europäische Stadt der späten Vormoderne stellt einen vielfältigen und spannenden Raum für die Untersuchung des Beziehungsgeflechts zwischen Mensch und Natur dar. Am Beispiel von Braunschweig, Würzburg und Utrecht verfolgt Ansgar Schanbacher den Umgang der Städte und ihrer Bewohner dieser Epoche mit Naturgefahren und Ressourcenknappheiten erstmals vertiefend in vergleichender Perspektive. Zu diesem Komplex gehört z. B. die Versorgung mit den wichtigsten Brennstoffen und die Bedeutung der städtischen Nutzgärten, die Rolle von Tieren als Nahrungslieferant und Alltagsbedrohung, die Gefahr von Unwettern sowie das allmähliche Zurückdrängen der nächtlichen Dunkelheit durch Straßenlaternen. Lebendige Alltagsgeschichte und originelle Ideengeschichte verbinden sich im städtischen Kontext zu einem bunten Panorama, dessen Spuren sich bis in unsere Gegenwart wiederfinden lassen.
