?The Lucidarius, a 12th century compendium of knowledge about God,
the universe and salvation, was one of the most successful German
books up into the modern age. Its origin is linked with the name of
Henry the Lion. This volume covers the medieval manuscript
transmission of the Lucidarius and explores its readership,
geographical impact and text reception. 46 illustrations and maps,
tables and manuscript stemmata are included in the work. Two essays
on the oldest world map in a German text and the prologues A and B?
so important for the history of the manuscript transmission? round
off the study.
This index of the subjects addressed in the journal Germanistik
between 2000 and 2004 is a pendant to the index of names published
last year. It facilitates comprehensive and convenient access to
the material discussed in the journal, given the fact that the
subjects addressed in the articles are frequently difficult to
identify on the basis of the titles. The five volumes covered here
contain 33,390 titles. The most important and wide-ranging concepts
(aesthetics, society/literature, critical editing, textual
criticism, etc.) are listed with explanations referring to
individual epochs or writers' names. Linguistic disciplines like
phonetics, syntax, phraseology, etc. are related to individual
languages or different stages of evolution in German. In the period
in question, the journal produced a substantial body of studies on
text genres and lexicology, special languages, genres, motifs, and
other aspects of research in German Studies.
The cumulative a oeSubject Index Germanistik 1990-1994a continues
the previously published cumulative indexes for 2000-2004 and
1995-1999. The indexes provide comprehensive and more user-friendly
access to the data. The volumes evaluated for the present index
contain 36,888 titles. The terms used, which have varied over the
years, have, as far as possible, been standardised and expanded.
Searching has been simplified through a system of cross-references
and the refined form of the column titles. In addition to the terms
distributed throughout the index, motifs, lexicological studies,
names, inscriptions, runes are grouped under the relevant term such
as a oemotif, a a oelexicology.a
This history of brief novella-type narratives in the European
literatures of the Middle Ages extends from the earliest beginnings
in the 12th century to the final ousting of the verse narrative by
the cyclical verse novella established by Boccaccio in the course
of the 16th century. The historical interrelations can only be
properly understood in their European dimensions. Accordingly, this
survey can serve as a model for a comparative history of the genre.
The Index gives ready access to the German vocabulary of the
edition of the "Vocabularius Ex quo." With its high contemporary
incidence and broad dissemination, the dictionary supplies a
representative picture of vocabulary organization and vocabulary
movement in the 15th century. The Index provides access to the
vocabulary via standardized Early High German forms. As such it can
stand in its own right as a dictionary of 15th century German.
The Latin-German AVocabularis Ex quoA was, to judge from the more
than 270 surviving manuscripts and some fifty incunabula editions,
the most commonly used late medieval alphabetical dictionary on
German soil. It was meant by its anonymous compiler-author to
enable pauperes scolares to read and literally understand the
Scriptures and other Latin texts. It dates from the late 14th
century and, spreading all over the then German speaking countries,
kept being copied until the last decades of the 15th century.
During that very productive tradition it was subject to continuous
change: almost every manuscript reveals different text. Yet, groups
of manuscripts can be classified as descendants of nine major and
most widely used revisions, eight of which are synoptically
represented in the present edition. The text itself is accompanied
by an introductory volume containing an up-to-date review of the
research done on that subject, the lists of manuscripts and 15th
century editions, an account of the A1/4berlieferungsgeschichtliche
(K. Ruh) editorial principles, the classification of the text's
tradition, and an alphabetical index of the more than 20.000 Latin
entries.
The Encyclopedia of German Literary Studies is the standard work of
German language and literature studies. It explains all of the
important terms of the field precisely and extensively. The
terminology of different genres (e.g. drama, poetry, short novel),
as well as those of methodology (e.g. hermeneutics, structuralism)
and literary theory (e.g. author, narrative perspective), are
exhaustively illustrated with regard to their etymology and subject
matter. Each article features an extensive bibliography. The
encyclopedia is now available for the first time in an affordable
paperback edition. The contents of this edition are identical to
those of the original hardback edition (1997-2003) and, just as the
original edition, provide the first source of information for all
questions about the basic concepts in the field of German language
and literature studies.
