Borders and Freedom of Movement in the Holy Roman Empire
Borders and Freedom of Movement in the Holy Roman Empire tells the history of free movement in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, one of the most fractured landscapes in human history. The boundaries that divided its hundreds of territories make the Old Reich a uniquely valuable sitefor studying the ordering of movement. The focus is on safe-conduct, an institution that was common throughout the early modern world but became a key framework for negotiating free movement and its restriction in the Old Reich. The study shows that attempts to escort travellers, issue letters ofpassage, or to criminalize the use of "forbidden" roads served to transform rights of passage into excludable ...

Rules and Observance
This collection of essays focuses on rules and observances in medieval monasteries and provides a survey of how the efficacy of religious communities could be ensured. The volume offers a rich variety of perspectives, ranging from the role of paraenetic literature and education, the problem of maintaining obedience and the implementation of reform to the importance of architectural features and the relative merits of the eremitical and the coenobite form of the vita religiosa. While the emphasis is on the history of the Franciscan order between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, articles on other monastic communities provide a comparative approach. The volume gives a closer insight into European research projects and casts light on manifold aspects of monastic rules and observances as "devising forms of communal life."

Unter der Linde und vor dem Kaiser
Die Gerichtsbarkeit der Vormoderne war von einer nahezu unüberschaubaren Vielzahl an Gerichten unterschiedlicher Herrschaftsträger und sozialer Gruppen geprägt. Während mit der Rezeption des römischen Rechts und dem Einzug gelehrter Juristen die Rechtsprechung zunehmend professionalisiert und institutionalisiert wurde, entstanden auf Grund der Ausbildung herrschaftsbezogener Instanzenzüge in den Territorien und durch Universitätsneugründungen zusätzlich neue Spruchkörper. Mit den Beiträgen dieses Bandes werden inhaltliche und methodische Zugriffe diskutiert, die es ermöglichen, die vormoderne Gerichtsvielfalt systematisch zu analysieren und aus vergleichenden Betrachtungen verallgemeinerungsfähige Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen.
