Same Same but Different
Die Motettenanthologie Liber selectarum cantionum, gedruckt im Jahr 1520 bei Grimm & Wirsung in Augsburg, ist ein Husarenstück ihrer Zeit. In der vorliegenden Publikation offenbart Torge Schiefelbein das soziale Netz, in dem das Buch entstanden ist, diskutiert mögliche Auftraggeber, porträtiert das gedruckte Repertoire und beleuchtet die Provenienz jedes einzelnen Exemplars. Das Herzstück der Studie bildet eine Rekonstruktion und Analyse des Herstellungsprozesses: Auf der Basis eines vollständigen Vergleichs aller 20 erhaltenen Exemplare – mit insgesamt mehr als 10.000 Seiten – können erstmals sämtliche Differenzen aufgelistet, manche Lesarten bedenkenlos als falsch ausgeschlossen und Schlüsse über die Druckreihenfolge gezogen werden. Jedes Exemplar des Liber ist einzigartig. Die noch gängige Auffassung, alle Kopien einer Auflage wären gleich, muss künftig angepasst werden: Nicht identische, sondern ähnliche Produkte sind die Regel.
The Litany in Arts and Cultures
The articles in this book encompass a broad historical panorama and consider the presence of litanic prayers and songs in different religions, beginning with written records in the Egyptian, Sumerian and Hebrew languages and finishing with Christian works from diverse denominations. The research presents the litany as an exceptionally long-lasting genre which for several thousand years existed in the Middle-Eastern and European traditions, easily conforming to changes in religious or historical circumstances. An interdisciplinary approach by scholars representing different fields of study, including the history of the liturgy, Egyptology, Assyriology, literary studies, musicology and ethnose...
The Reformation of the Image
With his 95 Theses, Martin Luther advanced the radical notion that all Christians could enjoy a direct, personal relationship with God—shattering years of Catholic tradition and obviating the need for intermediaries like priests and saints between the individual believer and God. The text of the Bible, the Word of God itself, Luther argued, revealed the only true path to salvation—not priestly ritual and saintly iconography. But if words—not iconic images—showed the way to salvation, why didn't religious imagery during the Reformation disappear along with indulgences? The answer, according to Joseph Leo Koerner, lies in the paradoxical nature of Protestant religious imagery itself, w...
We Believe in the Holy Spirit
The concept of "identity" today is contested against the backdrop of myriad forms of social, political, economic and ecological exclusion. How is identity expressed in a global Lutheran tradition whose members share common biblical, liturgical, confessional, theological and spiritual foundations yet represent diverse cultures and traditions? At the end of 2019, The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) hosted a global consultation on contemporary Lutheran identities, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The result was the papers presented in this publication. The authors—church leaders, youth, theologians, lay and ordained practitioners in local communities—explore the Spirit's work to revive and equip t...
Motet Cycles Between Devotion and Liturgy
This book explores the corpus of motet cycles composed and disseminated in manuscript and printed sources of polyphony c.1470-c.1510 (including, but not limited to, the motetti missales). The di?erent chapters investigate issues of textual and musical design, function, and performance, at the same time illuminating the rich devotional and cultural context in which this fascinating repertory flourished. About the series Since its establishment in 1933, the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland / Basel Academy of Music) has been involved in the research of historical musical practice. The series Schola Cantorum Basiliensis Scripta presents topical subjects and research results mostly in monographic form, whereby a broad spectrum of issues and presentation formats is cultivated. The publications are intended not only for specialists, but also for students and interested persons outside the immediate field, and in this way encourage an in-depth occupation with the diversity of Early Music.

Writing the Nation in Reformation England, 1530-1580
Writing the Nation in Reformation England offers a major re-evaluation of English writing between 1530 and 1580. Studying authors such as Andrew Borde, John Leland, William Thomas, Thomas Smith, and Thomas Wilson, Cathy Shrank highlights the significance of these decades to the formation of English nationhood and examines the impact of the break with Rome on the development of a national language, literary style, and canon. As well as demonstrating the close relationship between literary culture and English identities, it reinvests Tudor writers with a sense of agency. As authors, counsellors, and thinkers they were active citizens participating within, and helping to shape, a national commu...
