The Emblem in Early Modern Europe
The emblem was big business in early-modern Europe, used extensively not only in printed books and broadsheets, but also to decorate pottery, metalware, furniture, glass and windows and numerous other domestic, devotional and political objects. At its most basic level simply a combination of symbolic visual image and texts, an emblem is a hybrid composed of words and picture. However, as this book demonstrates, understanding the precise and often multiple meaning, intention and message emblems conveyed can prove a remarkably slippery process. In this book, Peter Daly draws upon many years’ research to reflect upon the recent upsurge in scholarly interest in, and rediscovery of, emblems fol...
Early Modern European Diplomacy
New Diplomatic History has turned into one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of research – especially with regard to early modern history. It has shown that diplomacy was not as homogenous as previously thought. On the contrary, it was shaped by a multitude of actors, practices and places. The handbook aims to characterise these different manifestations of diplomacy and to contextualise them within ongoing scientific debates. It brings together scholars from different disciplines and historiographical traditions. The handbook deliberately focuses on European diplomacy – although non-European areas are taken into account for future research – in order to limit the framework and ensure precise definitions of diplomacy and its manifestations. This must be the prerequisite for potential future global historical perspectives including both the non-European and the European world.
Jeremias Gotthelf - Wege zu einer neuen Ausgabe
Im 150. Todesjahr von Jeremias Gotthelf begannen die Herausgeber mit der historisch-kritischen Edition seiner nicht-literarischen Schriften, die den ersten Baustein zu einer historisch-kritischen Gesamtausgabe von Gotthelfs Werken bilden. Über das Ziel und mögliche Wege, Gotthelfs Gesamtwerk in seinem historisch-politischen Kontext zu edieren und zu kommentieren, berieten sich die Herausgeber mit erfahrenen Editionsspezialisten und Gotthelf-Forschern. Die hier versammelten Beiträge öffnen Wege zu einem neuen Bild Gotthelfs, in dessen erzählerischem Werk seine Erfahrungen als streitbarer Pfarrer, Schulreformer, Journalist und Kalendermann eingegangen sind.

Mundus Emblematicus
The thirteen articles in this volume deal with the Neo-Latin emblem book after the birth of the genre with Andrea Alciato's Emblematum libellus (1531). While the interest in emblematics has grown considerably during the last decades, the seminal Neo-Latin production has received relatively little attention. In Mundus Emblematicus an international team of experts in the field makes this part of the emblem tradition accessible to a broad scholarly audience. The articles cover a variety of emblem books published at the time, ranging from influential humanist collections (for instance those by Achille Bocchi, Hadrianus Junius, or Joachim Camerarius) to alchemist (Michael Maier) or religious embl...

Jeremias Gotthelf, der Querdenker und Zeitkritiker
In der Ringvorlesung des Berner Collegium generale zum Gotthelfjahr 2004 präsentierten ein Kirchenhistoriker, ein Ethnologe und fünf Literaturwissenschaftler ihre neuen Einsichten in das Werk und die vielfältige berufliche Tätigkeit des Schweizer Literaturklassikers. Diese Vorträge sind für die Buchpublikation grundlegend erweitert und überarbeitet worden. Der Titel dieses Bandes deutet an, wie Gotthelf als Volks- und Kalenderschriftsteller, christlich-republikanischer Pfarrer, satirischer Zeitkommentator und streitbarer Kirchenmann auf seine Zeitgenossen wirkte. Berühmte Erzählungen wie Die schwarze Spinne und Elsi, die seltsame Magd werden ebenso interpretiert wie die politischen Grossromane Der Herr Esau und Zeitgeist und Berner Geist.
The Jesuit Series Part Three (F-L)
The Corpus Librorum Emblematum (CLE ) Series presents documentation relating to printed books belonging to the tradition of emblems and imprese. The individual catalogues provide comprehensive short-title information accompanied by facsimile reproductions of title-pages, and where possible also a sample emblem. The volumes also provide a representative selection of library locations and press marks. Finger prints and facsimile title-pages enhance the bibliographic description of the books so that the record provided by CLE contains sufficient information to identify the edition or issue of a given emblem book. The bibliography encompasses all extant books of emblems, works illustrated with emblems, and books dealing with the theory and practice of emblematics written by members of The Society of Jesus. Translations and adaptations of Jesuit works in all languages are also included. The complete Jesuit Series will comprise some 1,700 entries: about 500 first editions, and a further 1,200 subsequent editions, issues and translations.
