Adam Christian Thebesius (1686-1732) und die Entdeckung der Vasa cordis minima
Die vorliegende Arbeit hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die auch aus wissenschaftshistorischer Sicht aufschlussreiche Forschungsgeschichte seit 1705 bzw. 1708 aufzuzeigen und die internationale, oft sehr abgelegen publizierte Literatur zu sichten, um auf dieser Grundlage eine interdisziplinare Diskussion zu ermoglichen. Hierzu wurden die historischen Originaltexte in deutscher und teilweise englischer Ubersetzung zuganglich gemacht und alle seitdem erschienenen Abhandlungen zu den thebesischen Venen in einer tabellarischen Ubersicht zusammengestellt. In ahnlicher Weise entstand eine Literaturstudie zur Valvula Thebesisi. Breiter Raum wurde daneben auch der Person des schlesischen Arztes Adam Christian Thebesius eingeraumt, dessen Lebensumstande sich anhand von Texten und Dokumenten aus deutschenund polnischen Archiven rekonstruieren liessen.
The Maker of Pedigrees
A history of genealogical knowledge-making strategies in the early modern world. In The Maker of Pedigrees, Markus Friedrich explores the complex and fascinating world of central European genealogy practices during the Baroque era. Drawing on archival material from a dozen European institutions, Friedrich reconstructs how knowledge about noble families was created, authenticated, circulated, and published. Jakob Wilhelm Imhoff, a wealthy and well-connected patrician from Nuremberg, built a European community of genealogists by assembling a transnational network of cooperators and informants. Friedrich uses Imhoff as a case study in how knowledge was produced and disseminated during the 17th ...
Critical Monks
Benedictine scholars around 1700, most prominently proponents of historical criticism, have long been regarded as the spearhead of ecclesiastical learning on the brink of Enlightenment, first in France, then in Germany and other parts of Europe. Based on unpublished sources, this book is the first to contextualize this narrative in its highly complex pre-modern setting, and thus at some distance from modernist ascriptions ex posteriori. Challenged by Protestant and Catholic anti-monasticism, Benedictine scholars strove to maintain control of their intellectual tradition. They failed thoroughly, however: in the Holy Roman Empire, their success depended on an anti-Roman and nationalized reading of their research. For them, becoming part of an Enlightenment narrative meant becoming part of a cultural project of “Germany”.
