Recently, there has been increased appreciation of the fact that August Friedrich Pott (18021887) possessed valuable insights and articulated uncommon positions in Indo-European comparative linguistics, general linguistics, and linguistic ethnology. This introduction and accompanying bibliography and catalogue aim to provide additional access routes to Pott's career by chronicling his life, works, and library collection.
Hubsch's argument that the technical progress and changed living habits of the nineteenth century rendered neoclassical principles antiquated is presented here along with responses to his essay by architects, historians, and critics over two decades.
Traditionally, the history of Ancient Greek literature ends with Antiquity: after the fall of Rome, the literary works in ancient Greek generally belong to the domain of the Byzantine Empire. However, after the Byzantine refugees restored the knowledge of Ancient Greek in the west during the early humanistic period (15th century), Italian scholars (and later their French, German, Spanish colleagues) started to use Greek, a purely literary language that no one spoke, for their own texts and poems. This habit persisted with various ups and downs throughout the centuries, according to the development of Greek studies in each country. The aim of this anthology - the first one of this kind - is to give a selective overview of this kind of humanistic poetry in Ancient Greek, embracing all major regions of Europe and trying to concentrate on remarkable pieces of important poets. The ultimate goal of the book is to shed light on an important and so far mostly neglected aspect of the European heritage.

English summary: For Protestantism, the significance of the sermon is derived from the legitimation and the function whose reasons are based on the church. The sermon is the church's fundamental manifestation of life. There is a causal connection between ecclesiology and homiletics.

Using examples of 19th century homiletic concepts, she reconstructs their practical-theological ecclesiological prerequisites and implications. She has selected the same 19th century concepts which shift the focus of the sermon to effective action as opposed...
Es war einmal, es war keinmal. Da lebte in einem fremden Land ein mächtiger Sultan, der hatte nur einen Sohn, und weil er fürchtete, dass diesem seinem einzigen Sohn und Erben seines Reiches etwas zustoßen könnte, ließ er ihn und dessen Hofstaat in einen Turm einsperren. Eines Tages entdeckte der Kronprinz eine Dachluke in dem Turm. Durch diese schaute er nach unten und sah eine alte Frau, welche mit einem Krug aus Ton auf dem Kopf an einen Brunnen trat, um Wasser zu schöpfen. Er rief nach der Frau und als diese auf seinen Zuruf nicht reagierte, warf er seinen goldenen Ball hinunter. Der Ball traf den Krug und zerschlug ihn in tausend Stücke. Als Strafe belegte die alte Frau den Prinzen mit einem Fluch: um die Frau seines Herzens zu finden, müsse er einen weiten gefahrvollen Weg gehen und nach den drei Pomeranzen suchen. Dabei solle er erfahren, wie es ist, kein Wasser zu haben. Der Prinz machte sich auf den Weg, um die drei Pomeranzen zu finden, und die Ereignisse nahmen ihren Lauf.
