In The Account Books of the Reimarus Family of Hamburg, 1728-1780, Almut Spalding and Paul S. Spalding offer a two-volume critical edition of domestic records that open windows onto early modern Europe and the Enlightenment. They detail economic realities, social circles, cultural and educational pursuits, leisure activities, religious communities, and institutions in the life of a great city and a distinguished family. Volume one consists of the transcription, with an introduction and illustrations. Volume two is an extensive index. Hermann Samuel Reimarus and his daughter Margareta Elisabeth (Elise) Reimarus carefully maintained these records over fifty years. The former was a notable classicist, biblical scholar, animal behaviorist, and freethinker; the latter, leader of a literary salon, educator, translator, and author.

Inventar zur Geschichte der deutschen Arbeiterbewegung in den staatlichen Archiven der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
Bruderschaften im Mittelalter waren der Kitt, der die städtische Gesellschaft zusammenhielt. Die vorliegende Edition gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in drei der wichtigsten Bruderschaften der Kaufleuteeliten Lübecks sowie in ein kleinbürgerliches Pendant. Sie zeigt zum einen durch einen nahezu vollständigen Katalog der Bruderschaftsmitglieder die Vernetzung der Kaufleute und Bürger in der Stadt auf, zeugt zum anderen aber auch von der allumfassenden Vorsorge für das eigene Seelenheil einer Stadtgesellschaft im Mittelalter. Durch diese Listen ist es möglich, die Entwicklung städtischer Bruderschaften von ihrer Gründung bis zur Reformation umfassend zu verfolgen.
