Orthodoxy and Reform
More than one hundred years after the introduction of the Reformation, the clergy in Rostock set out to reform the spiritual and moral life of the city and fashion it into a new Zion. Disappointed with the results of the Lutheran Reformation, their reform efforts were less concerned with confessional purity than with the practice of Christian piety. The resulting reform movement in Rostock became one of the most vigorous in 17th century Germany.Jonathan Strom examines the consequences of the Reformation, the clergy's social and economic status, the career path of a typical pastor, and the theological basis of the office of ministry. He recounts the practical reforms sought by the clergy in R...
Witchcraft and Magic in Europe, Volume 5
The end of the eighteenth century saw the end of the witch trials everywhere. This volume charts the processes and reasons for the decriminalisation of witchcraft but also challenges the widespread assumption that Europe has been 'disenchanted'.

The Witch-Hunt in Early Modern Europe
Between 1450 and 1750 thousands of people – most of them women – were accused, prosecuted and executed for the crime of witchcraft. The witch-hunt was not a single event; it comprised thousands of individual prosecutions, each shaped by the religious and social dimensions of the particular area as well as political and legal factors. Brian Levack sorts through the proliferation of theories to provide a coherent introduction to the subject, as well as contributing to the scholarly debate. The book: Examines why witchcraft prosecutions took place, how many trials and victims there were, and why witch-hunting eventually came to an end. Explores the beliefs of both educated and illiterate pe...
Unimpeded Sailing
The original Latin text of Johann Gröning’s Navigatio libera has never before been translated into any modern vernacular language. Gröning’s intention was to set out the position of neutral nations (in this case the Danes and Swedes), and their right to pursue trade during the wars of the great maritime powers (particularly the English and the Dutch). It specifically sought to engage with and refute the work of Hugo Grotius while taking cognisance of the critique of Gröning’s work by Samuel Pufendorf. The text serves as a bridge between 17th-century polemical discourse surrounding the ‘free sea’ versus ‘enclosed sea’ debate and later 18th-century legal literature on the rights of neutrals and the continuation of free trade in time of war.
Der Landrechtsentwurf von David Mevius
Der norddeutsche Jurist David Mevius zählt zu den großen europäischen Gestalten des Usus modernus. Hier wird erstmals sein gesetzgeberisches Hauptwerk in der von ihm verfassten Originalversion im Druck zugänglich gemacht. Der Schwerpunkt der Einleitung beleuchtet einzelne Stellen des Landrechtsentwurfs und führt das Gesetzesverständnis von Mevius, seine Rechtsquellenlehre und Gesetzgebungstechnik vor Augen. Die Editionsrichtlinien geben Aufschluss, in welcher Weise die philologischen Besonderheiten und die Unterschiede zwischen der Handschrift und dem frühneuzeitlichen Druck nachgewiesen sind. Das umfangreiche Register soll den Weg zur Quelle erleichtern. Die norddeutsche Rechtsgeschichte und die Landesgeschichte werden vielfache Hinweise auf die Lebens- und Rechtskultur der ländlichen Gesellschaft finden. Die Dogmengeschichte kann die Lösungen des Landrechtsentwurfs in die übergreifenden Strömungen des Usus modernus einordnen. Die inhaltliche Auswertung des mecklenburgischen Landrechtsentwurfs ist damit auf gesicherter Grundlage möglich.
Das Hauptgebäude der Universität Rostock 1870-2016
Das Hauptgebäude der Universität Rostock wurde jüngst umfassend saniert und, soweit möglich, denkmalgeschützt in dem Zustand seiner Bauzeit wiederhergestellt. Das Hauptgebäude entstand unter der Bauleitung des Architekten Hermann Willebrand von 1867 bis 1870 im Stil der mecklenburgischen Terrakotta-Renaissance des ausgehenden 16. Jahrhunderts. Mit diesem schlossähnlichen Bau brachte Großherzog Friedrich Franz II. seine Fürsorge für die Wissenschaft zum Ausdruck. Der vorliegende Sammelband dokumentiert umfassend die Planungs-, Bau- und Nutzungsgeschichte von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart. Neun historische Aufsätze, zwei Zeitzeugenberichte über die aktuelle Sanierung und zahlreiche Abbildungen vermitteln die Geschichte dieses ebenso nützlichen wie schönen Gebäudes mitten in Rostock. Es vereint baulich den Wahlspruch der Universität Rostock TRADITIO ET INNOVATIO.
