This book deals with popular Orthodoxy during the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, approaching the material from a historical and anthropological perspective. The discussion takes as its starting point a letter of Leo Allatios, the seventeenth-century author and scriptor of the Vatican Library. The early chapters of the book focus on Allatios and the western intellectual background in which the work was written, while later chapters consider popular beliefs and practices surrounding childstealing demons, revenants, spirits of place and popular healing. This book provides the first detailed treatment of a major source for post Byzantine popular Orthodoxy, offering valuable insights into the relationships between laity and clergy, Orthodoxy and Catholicism, religion and natural philosophy during the seventeenth century.

Das Taktieren mit den Toten

Über Jahrhunderte hinweg hatte ein stetig wachsender Bestand an Grabmonumenten französischer Könige in der Abteikirche der Benediktiner von Saint-Denis politische und genealogische Kontinuitäten ins Bild ­gesetzt, bevor die Nekropole in der Frühen Neuzeit zwei einschneidende Zäsuren erlebte. Diese Studie rekonstruiert die Motivationen für den ­Import des italienischen Renaissancestils um 1500 sowie für die ­vermeintlich abrupte Aufgabe des Erinnerungsraums um 1600 unter den letzten Valois und den ersten Bourbonen, deren sepulkrale Repräsenta­tionspolitik zunehmend nach alternativen Partnern und Bühnen suchte. Julian Blunk erhielt 2008 für diese Studie den Absolventenpreis der TU Dresden.
