Incunabula in Transit
Almost half a million books printed in the fifteenth century survive in collections worldwide. In Incunabula in Transit Lotte Hellinga explores how and where they were first disseminated. Propelled by the novel need to market hundreds of books, early printers formed networks with colleagues, engaged agents and traded Latin books over long distances. They adapted presentation to suit the taste of distinct readerships, local and remote. Publishing in vernacular languages required typographical innovations, as the chapter on William Caxton’s Flanders enterprise demonstrates. Eighteenth-century collectors dislodged books from institutions where they had rested since the sales drives of early printers. Erudite and entertaining, Hellinga’s evidence-based approach, linked to historical context, deepens understanding of the trade in early printed books.

Evangelische Kirchen im Nationalsozialismus
Die Stellung der evangelischen Kirchen im „Dritten Reich" wird bis heute sehr kontrovers diskutiert. Wie lässt sich deren Verhältnis zum Nationalsozialismus adäquat erfassen? Am Fallbeispiel Schleswig-Holsteins erfolgt nun in drei Teilbänden erstmals eine empirische und differenzierte Positionsbestimmung aller 729 Geistlichen einer Landeskirche. Dazu wird der Blick über den innerkirchlichen „Kampf" zwischen der Bekennenden Kirche (BK) und den Deutschen Christen (DC) hinaus auf das Verhältnis der Pastorenschaft zu Staat und NS-Bewegung geweitet. Die Zusammenführung von Kirchengeschichte und NS-Forschung zeigt, wie stark Kreuz und Hakenkreuz miteinander verschmolzen. Obgleich die Ge...
