Urban Society in an Age of War
Under the premise that local history can illuminate aspects of the past in ways that few works of broad historical synthesis can ever hope to equal, Christopher Friedrichs draws a comprehensive portrait of the small German city of Nördlingen during a turbulent century and a half of early modern history. In doing so he explores the transition from a traditional to a modern way of life. Originally published in 1980. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Ergänzungsband
Mit diesem vorliegenden Ergänzungsband beendet Franz Kössler seine Arbeit an dem Verzeichnis der Schulprogramme und hofft, dem interessierten Benutzer eine brauchbare Arbeitsgrundlage zu geben. Dieser Ergänzungsband ist das Ergebnis seiner Suche in verschiedenen Bibliotheken, die ihre Bestände an Schulprogrammen haben einsehen lassen. Zur Vervollständigung älterer Schulprogramme hat er auch das "Lexikon der vom Jahr 1750 bis 1800 verstorbenen teutschen Schriftsteller" von J . G. Meusel durchgesehen. (Ausgabe Nachdr. Olms, Hildesheim 1967.) Bd 1-15.
Witch Craze
From the gruesome ogress in Hansel and Gretel to the hags at the sabbath in Faust, the witch has been a powerful figure of the Western imagination. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries thousands of women confessed to being witches—of making pacts with the Devil, causing babies to sicken, and killing animals and crops—and were put to death. This book is a gripping account of the pursuit, interrogation, torture, and burning of witches during this period and beyond. Drawing on hundreds of original trial transcripts and other rare sources in four areas of Southern Germany, where most of the witches were executed, Lyndal Roper paints a vivid picture of their lives, families, and tribulations. She also explores the psychology of witch-hunting, explaining why it was mostly older women that were the victims of witch crazes, why they confessed to crimes, and how the depiction of witches in art and literature has influenced the characterization of elderly women in our own culture.
