During the Middle Ages, the Papal Curia was the most important addressee for learned Latin poetry within Europe. Much of it was unsolicited; authors address their works to the Apostolic See, they dedicate their writings to individual popes and glorify them in panegyrics. The study examines the expectations and aims associated with such poetry and to what extent the Curia responded to these poetic offerings a " perhaps with material sponsorship for the authors. For this, it develops the paths of communication, the places of performance and modes of presenting this panegyric poetry.

This volume combines a number of approaches to the history of the conflict between religions and cultures. Contributions from history, art and legal history, as well as Judaistic studies deal with new conceptual considerations on the history of perceptions in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period; above all interpretations of non-European religions, of paganism in their own European tradition, and how ecclesiastic law treated a oenon-believersa in relation to the heretics. The second volume is in preparation.

Die Studie untersucht Gebrauch und Funktion der lateinischen Sprache in der mundlichen Kommunikation des Mittelalters. Wahrend die Forschung uber die Verwendung des Lateinischen in der mittelalterlichen Schriftsprache gut unterrichtet ist, ist das mundliche Latein weit gehend unerforscht, was u. a. an der Quellenlage liegt. Das Buch untersucht die Anlasse fur lateinische Gesprache, die Inhalte der gelehrten Kommunikation und die Art des Erlernens und Lehrens der oralen Latinitat. Neben einer Rekonstruktion der kommunikativen Standardsituationen, in denen Latein gesprochen wurde, untersucht die Studie die Normen sprechsprachlicher Kommunikation z. B. im Gerichtswesen, im Klerus, in der Diplomatie, im kloesterlichen Alltag und an den Universitaten. Historische Einzelstudien, u. a. zu Petrarca, zum Konzil von Sens und dem Becket-Streit von 1164 sowie zum Regensburger Reichstag von 1471, zeigen exemplarisch auf, in welchen Zusammenhangen und von welchen Gesprachsteilnehmern Latein fur die mundliche Kommunikation genutzt wurde und uber welche Sprachkompetenz die Sprecher jeweils verfugten. Der Autor kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die orale Latinitat des Mittelalters u. a. durch ein hohes Mass an Standardisierung und Formalisierung gekennzeichnet war, die in bestimmten Standardsituationen das Abrufen fester Textbausteine ermoeglichte. Es handelte sich nicht um eine spontane, sondern um eine professionelle, rhetorisch weit gehend fixierte Kommunikation in wiederkehrenden Gesprachskonstellationen, die die volkssprachige Mundlichkeit nicht ersetzte, sondern erganzte. Der Autor liefert mit dieser Studie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung der mittelalterlichen Latinitat und Kommunikationsgeschichte.
