Gericht und Verfahren in der Stadt und im Hochstift Würzburg
Der Übergang vom Spätmittelalter zur Frühen Neuzeit ist durch eine Veränderung der Gerichtslandschaften im Heiligen Römischen Reich geprägt. Im Rahmen der weltlichen Gerichtsbarkeit entwickelten sich durch die Ausbreitung des Rechtsmittels der Appellation Instanzenzüge, die nicht nur durch neu entstehende Foren gestaltet wurden, sondern auch das Verhältnis längst bestehender Gerichte zueinander nachhaltig veränderten. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, diese grundlegenden Transformationsprozesse am Beispiel des Hochstifts Würzburg nachzuzeichnen und auf Basis der reichskammergerichtlichen Quellenüberlieferung mit dem Würzburger Kanzleigericht ein bisher weitgehend unbeachtetes territoriales Obergericht in seiner Entwicklung und Funktionsweise darzustellen. Hierbei werden etwa Aspekte der Herrschaftsverdichtung, der Rechtsrezeption und des Verhältnisses von Norm und Rechtspraxis anschaulich illustriert.

Mentions letters of protection as bases for individual rights, taxation problems, residential conditions, clothing regulations, prohibition of usury, decisions concerning Jewish commerce, etc. Contends that most of the regulations were initiated by guilds and professional corporations whose members were interested in limiting the Jewish presence.

Borders and Freedom of Movement in the Holy Roman Empire
Borders and Mobility in the Holy Roman Empire tells the history of free movement in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, one of the most fractured landscapes in human history. The boundaries that divided its hundreds of territories make the Old Reich a uniquely valuable site for studying the ordering of movement. The focus is on safe-conduct, an institution that was common throughout the early modern world but became a key framework for negotiating free movement and its restriction in the Old Reich. The study shows that attempts to escort travellers, issue letters of passage, or to criminalize the use of 'forbidden' roads served to transform rights of passage into excludable and fisca...
Witch Craze
A powerful account of witches, crones, and the societies that make them From the gruesome ogress in Hansel and Gretel to the hags at the sabbath in Faust, the witch has been a powerful figure of the Western imagination. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries thousands of women confessed to being witches--of making pacts with the Devil, causing babies to sicken, and killing animals and crops--and were put to death. This book is a gripping account of the pursuit, interrogation, torture, and burning of witches during this period and beyond. Drawing on hundreds of original trial transcripts and other rare sources in four areas of Southern Germany, where most of the witches were executed, Lyndal Roper paints a vivid picture of their lives, families, and tribulations. She also explores the psychology of witch-hunting, explaining why it was mostly older women that were the victims of witch crazes, why they confessed to crimes, and how the depiction of witches in art and literature has influenced the characterization of elderly women in our own culture.
