Loyal to the Republic, Pious to the Church
This volume deals with matters of public religious expression and aspects of interconfessionality in the case of the Greek Orthdox clergyman and scholar Gerasimos Vlachos (1607–1685) from Candia, Crete. The book proceeds to an interpretative approach to Gerasimos Vlachos' ideological, political and religious identity in all the phases of his life. As the principal factor of the work is promoted Vlachos' perception of his contemporary trans- and interconfessional tendencies and cross-cultural relations firstly within the 17th-century Venetian Republic and secondly in the wider European and Ottoman sphere. Dimitris Paradoulakis aims to interpret the scholar's attitude towards his contemporary theological controversies, the Venetian concept of socio-political tolerance and confessional conciliation, and Vlachos' personal perception on matters of multiconfessional coexistence and freedom of worship.
Kyrillos Loukaris as an Author of Sermons (1602–1626)
The volume explores the unpublished work of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Kyrillos Loukaris (c.1570–1638), specifically focusing on his sermons delivered between 1602 and 1626. The study centers on Loukaris’ extant sermons, preserved in an autograph manuscript corpus titled Didachae, currently housed in the collection of the Metochion of the Holy Sepulchre. Following a comprehensive codicological and paleographical examination and the compilation of an annotated inventory of the material, the volume delves into various scholarly inquiries. These include identifying the official corpus of Loukaris’ homiletic work, defining criteria for the standard form, structure, subject matter, and la...

Westliche Konfessionskirchen und orthodoxes Christentum als Thema der Interkonfessionalitätsforschung
Das orthodoxe Christentum versteht sich nicht als Konfession. Kann es dennoch Gegenstand der Interkonfessionalitätsforschung sein? Der Band versammelt Beiträge, die auf ein interdisziplinäres Symposium des DFG-Graduiertenkollegs 2008 "Interkonfessionalität in der Frühen Neuzeit" zurückgehen. Sie machen deutlich, dass Fragestellungen und Methoden der Interkonfessionalitätsforschung durchaus fruchtbar auf die Orthodoxie angewandt werden können. Die Expertinnen und Experten, die zu diesem Buch beigetragen haben, machen Interkonfessionalität in verschiedenen Kontexten sichtbar, etwa bei einer Kirchenunion auf Rhodos, im Wirken einflussreicher orthodoxer Geistlicher wie Maximus dem Griec...

Heirs of Flesh and Paper
"Heirs of Flesh and Paper" tells the story of early modern dynastic politics through subjects’ practical responses to royal illness, failing princely reproduction, and heirs’ premature deaths. It treats connected dynastic crises between 1699 and 1716 as illustrative for early modern European political regimes in which the rulers’ corporeality defined politics. This political order grappled with the endemic uncertainties induced by dynastic bodies. By following the day-to-day practices of knowledge making in response to the unpredictability of royal health, the book shows how the ruling family’s mortal coils regularly threatened to destabilize the institutionalized legal fiction of kingship. Dynastic politics was not only as a transitory stage of state formation, part of elite cooperation, or a cultural construct. It needs to be approached through everyday practices that put ailing dynastic bodies front and center. In a period of intensifying political planning, it constituted one of the most important sites for changing the political itself.
Central European Pasts
Präsentationsvideo (4. Folge der Reihe 'ÖGE18 Update') Anyone wishing to look beyond the paradigm of Western progress needs to understand how it came into being. In the intellectual culture of the 17th and 18th centuries, the competitive comparison of Ancients and Moderns and their respective relations to civilization and barbarism constituted one of the formative discourses. Yet alternative ideas of time and historicity are encountered not only in cultural contexts outside of Europe but also in the largely forgotten professional knowledge of the Old World: Thomism, Peripatetism, moderate forms of criticism, political theory, and legal practice. This book introduces a broad panorama of such intellectual cultures in Central Europe. It situates theological, historical, and philosophical scholarship in its institutional and epistemological environments: the Church, the Holy Roman Empire, and the emerging Habsburg Monarchy. In doing so, it identifies struggles over competing pasts – Christian, ethnic, legal – as the core of those domains' intellectual development.
Between Encyclopedia and Chorography
During the early modern period, regional specified compendia – which combine information on local moral and natural history, towns and fortifications with historiography, antiquarianism, images series or maps – gain a new agency in the production of knowledge. Via literary and aesthetic practices, the compilations construct a display of regional specified knowledge. In some cases this display of regional knowledge is presented as a display of a local cultural identity and is linked to early modern practices of comparing and classifying civilizations. At the core of the publication are compendia on the Americas which research has described as chorographies, encyclopeadias or – more recently – 'cultural encyclopaedias'. Studies on Asian and European encyclopeadias, universal histories and chorographies help to contextualize the American examples in the broader field of an early modern and transcultural knowledge production, which inherits and modifies the ancient and medieval tradition.
Genealogical Knowledge in the Making
The book analyses the procedures, difficulties, and challenges of genealogical research in Early Modern Europe. Archives had to be visited, stone inscriptions had to be deciphered, and countless individuals had to be identified. The results often re
