History in Flames

To what extent does our knowledge of the past rely upon written sources? And what happens when these sources are destroyed? Focusing on the manuscripts of the Middle Ages, History in Flames explores cases in which large volumes of written material were destroyed during a single day. This destruction didn't occur by accident of fire or flood but by human forces such as arson, shelling and bombing. This book examines the political and military events that preceded the moment of destruction, from the Franco-Prussian War and the Irish Civil War to the complexities of World War II; it analyses the material lost and how it came to be where it was. At the same time, it discusses the heroic efforts made by scholars and archivists to preserve these manuscripts, even partially. History in Flames reminds us that historical knowledge rests on material remains, and that these remains are vulnerable.

Every third year, the members of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies (IANLS) assemble for a week-long conference. Over the years, this event has evolved into the largest single conference in the field of Neo-Latin studies. The papers presented at these conferences offer, then, a general overview of the current status of Neo-Latin research; its current trends, popular topics, and methodologies. In 2022, the members of IANLS gathered for a conference in Leuven where 50 years ago the first of these congresses took place.This volume presents the conference’s papers which were submitted after the event and which have undergone a peer-review process. The papers deal with a broad range of fields, including literature, history, philology, and religious studies.

Devotional Cross-Roads

The collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of Christian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, religious affiliation and...

Martel in the Slovene Karst in 1893

E.A. Martel (1859–1938) upravičeno velja za enega najpomembnejših ljudi v zgodovini raziskovanja jam. Ker je pisal v francoščini, je bilo njegovo delo v tistih delih Srednje Evrope, ki so bili v avstrijskem cesarstvu, malo poznano. Tako veliko tega, kar je napisal o klasičnem krasu (Krasu), ni bilo lahko dostopno tistim, ki zdaj živijo na tem območju. Zato ta angleški prevod njegove objave iz leta 1894. Martel je bil v Sloveniji od 14. septembra 1893 do sredine oktobra. Glavne jame in kraške značilnosti regije mu je razkazal Wilhelm Putick, ki je kraje raziskoval od leta 1886. Pomoč mu je odobril grof Falkenhayn, dunajski kmetijski minister, kar zgovorno priča o tem, kako mednarodno pomemben je bil Martel.
