Jewish Given Names and Family Names
Presents over 3,000 bibliographic entries on the history and lore of Jewish family names and given names in all parts of the world from Biblical times to the present day. This work replaces the compiler's out-of-print JEWISH AND HEBREW ONOMASTICS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY (1977)
The Formation of a Modern Rabbi
An intellectual biography that critically engages Adolf Jellinek’s scholarship and communal activities Adolf Jellinek (1821–1893), the Czech-born, German-educated, liberal chief rabbi of Vienna, was the most famous Jewish preacher in Central Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century. As an innovative rhetorician, Jellinek helped mold and define the modern synagogue sermon into an instrument for expressing Jewish religious and ethical values for a new era. As a historian, he made groundbreaking contributions to the study of the Zohar and medieval Jewish mysticism. Jellinek was emblematic of rabbi-as-scholar-preacher during the earliest, formative years of communal synagogues as urban religious space. In a world that was rapidly losing the felt and remembered past of premodern Jewish society, the rabbi, with Jellinek as prime exemplar, took hold of the Sabbath sermon as an instrument to define and mold Judaism and Jewish values for a new world.
Processional Cultures of the Eucharist: Vienna and her Central European Counterparts
The main question addressed in this comparative analysis was how we should and/or could interpret the socio-cultural and political role of late medieval Eucharistic marches in the context of Central European, especially in both residential and capital urban communities. One might conclude in the case of Vienna that concerning the form of Eucharistic processions the regulations and orders of marches always involved acts of power from external authorities imposing their political, social and cultural agenda on non-individualized groups of people.
Priest and Parish in Vienna
"Priest and Parish in Vienna, 1780 to 1880" details the social, cultural, and political transformation of the Austrian Catholic priesthood in nineteenth-century Vienna. It shows how priests, a very important and influential group in Austria, were changed from servants of the state into political activists working for the contentious Christian Social Party in fin-de-siecle Vienna.

Dürer and Beyond
"This exhibition is the first to offer an extensive overview of the Museum's holdings of early Central European drawings, many of which were acquired in the last two decades. An emphasis on works by later sixteenth- and seventeenth-century artists is balanced by a selection of German drawings from the fifteenth and earlier sixteenth century, of which some of the most exceptional ones--including works by Albrecht Deurer--entered the Museum with The Robert Lehman Collection in 1975."--Publisher's website.
Symptoms of Modernity
In the 1990s, Vienna's Jews and queers abandoned their clandestine existence and emerged into the city's public sphere in unprecedented numbers. Symptoms of Modernity traces this development in the context of Central European history. Jews and homosexuals are signposts of an exclusionary process of nation-building. Cast in their modern roles in the late nineteenth century, they functioned as Others, allowing a national community to imagine itself as a site of ethnic and sexual purity. In Matti Bunzl's incisive historical and cultural analysis, the Holocaust appears as the catastrophic culmination of this violent project, an attempt to eradicate modernity's abject by-products from the body po...
Literatur und Bürgertum
Das Buch verbindet Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte mit Biographien aus funf Wiener Familien: Wertheimstein, Gomperz, Todesco, Auspitz und Lieben. Ihr Grossburgerstatus war in Wirtschaft, Bankwesen, Wissenschaft und parlamentarischer Politik verankert. Ihnen entstammten wichtige Trager der Modernisierungsprozesse in Osterreich, vor allem aber auch des zeitgenossischen Literatur- und Kulturlebens in Wien. Aufklarung und asthetische Bildung waren lebenspragend und sicherten die Assimilation. Am Beispiel dieser Familien werden, gleichsam in einer Nussschale, wesentliche ideen- und sozialgeschichtliche Stromungen und Phanomene nach 1848 dargestellt.
