The term 'cityscaping' is here introduced to characterise the
creative process through which the image of the city is created and
represented in various media - text, film and artefacts. It thus
turns attention away from built urban spaces and onto mental images
of cities. One focus is on the question of which literary, visual
and acoustic means prompt their recipients' spatial imagination;
another is to inquire into the semantics and functions that are
ascribed to the image of a city as constructed in various media.
The examples of ancient texts and works of art, and modern
literature and films, are used to elucidate the artistic potential
of images of the city and the techniques by which they are
semanticised. With its interdisciplinary approach, the volume for
the first time makes clear how strongly mental images of urban
space, both ancient and modern, have been shaped by the techniques
of their representation in media.
Wilhelm Dilthey and Hans-Georg Gadamer were probably the last great
scholars who had taken Philipp Melanchthon seriously as a
philosopher. In the 20th century interest was almost exclusively
restricted to his role in the history of the Reformation. However,
in recent decades the situation has changed greatly. Melanchthon
has aroused general interest in the field of the history of science
and education, as well as in individual disciplines such as
research on dialectics and rhetoric. In this volume Melanchthon is
presented for the first time as a universal scholar and so made
accessible to a broader public.
Until 1531, Rhenanus (1485a "1547) had been known almost
exclusively as a philologist and editor. Then he produced Res
Germanicae, an historical work superior in both its methodology and
reliability to anything similar from Germany. The present edition,
which includes Sturma (TM)s life of Rhenanus, explicates the text
with its translation, list of sources and indexes. The studies in
the commentary take account of the authora (TM)s correspondence,
explain his methodology and examine the text for influences from
15th and 16th century Italian and German humanists.
