Spirituality Of The Premonstratensians

Frana§ois Petit's study of the spirituality of the medieval Premonstratensians (Norbertines), published in the aftermath of the Second World War, remains the definitive treatment of the early centuries of the order of canons founded by Norbert of Xanten in 1121. Petit's attention to the texts, community life, and devotional practice of this Order of Pramontra anticipates recent scholarship in emphasizing the nexus of theology and lived religious experience. It demonstrates both the grandeur of Philip of Harvengt and Adam Scot as spiritual authors and the distinctiveness they share with others in the Norbertine tradition. This English translation renders Petit's magisterial work, long out of print, accessible to a wide international audience.

Die Welt von Heute

Wie begegnet uns die heutige Welt? Auf jeden Fall wesentlich schneller und intensiver, als unsere Eltern und Großeltern es erlebten. Man fragt sich, woran das liegen mag, alle jüngeren Menschen versuchen immer mehr Erleben in ihre Lebenszeit hineinzupressen. Sie sprechen schneller, schreiben schneller, tauschen schneller Informationen aus und bewegen sich mit dem Auto, Bus, Bahn, Schiffen und Flugzeugen, mit einer atemberaubenden Geschwindigkeit rund um den ganzen Globus. Hat dieses Verhalten der Übergang von der Pferdekutsche zu technischen Systemen bewirkt? Das ist kaum nachzuvollziehen. Es ist meiner Ansicht nach, der Konkurrenzkampf der Menschen-Massen untereinander, um den Lebensstan...

Was sind Zwillingsformeln? Wie werden sie verwendet? Was macht sie so beliebt? Ein Beispiel ist 'Mann und Maus'. Man kann mit Mann und Maus untergehen, aber auch etwas angehen, eine Arbeit anpacken, eine Bastion verteidigen und beim Fußball mit Mann und Maus «hinten drinne stehen». Wie kommen solche Zwillingsformeln zustande, und gibt es Regeln oder Tendenzen, nach denen sie gebildet werden? Warum sagt man nicht umgekehrt 'Maus und Mann'? All diesen Fragen wird hier nachgegangen und zwar bei etwa zweitausend Formeln, die der Autor sorgfältig gesammelt, tabellarisch geordnet, erläutert und wissenschaftlich analysiert hat. Diese Abhandlung ist nicht nur ein übersichtliches Nachschlagewerk und eine unterhaltsame Fundgrube, sondern schließt zugleich eine sprachwissenschaftliche Lücke.
