Italy, seat of the Pope and Vatican City, has a long and difficult relationship with religious freedom. Often identified as a Catholic nation par excellence, Italy owes its unification to a political class that advocated the separation of Church and State. Home of the Concordat, contemporary Italy recognises a peculiar notion of legal secularism (laicità) as the supreme principle of its constitutional order. Through the glasses of law, tracing the history of the right to religious freedom from the Unification to the present day, the nine chapters of the book allow an insight on paradoxes and contradictions of a complex system made of unresolved stratifications where a strong constitutional recognition of religious freedom is accompanied by a weak legislative protection of religious pluralism and, at the same time, a vigorous religious agency in the public space. Religious freedom in Italy offers an interpretation of a model of religious freedom that is not only a paradigm for many European experiences but also a possible interpretative parameter to better understand the dynamics of religious freedom between the two shores of the Mediterranean.

Band 23 der Sämtlichen Werke Christian Weises ist der erste der "politischen Schriften"; darunter ist im Verständnis des 17. Jahrhunderts Informationsliteratur zu verstehen, die auf das Leben und das Verhalten von Bürgern, in diesem Falle von Jugendlichen, Einfluss nehmen will. "Der Kluge Hoff-Meister" ist keine Darstellung des Berufsbildes eines Hofmeisters, der als Erzieher in Adels- und Bürgerhäusern des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts tätig war, sondern vielmehr eine Darstellung der Geschichte der Staaten Europas von ihren Anfängen bis hin in die unmittelbare Gegenwart des Autors. Weise liefert das Material, das der Hofmeister seinen Schülern vermitteln soll - eine einfache Aneinanderreihung von Namen, Jahreszahlen und kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen, ohne auf größere Zusammenhänge einzugehen. Das zweite Werk, "Der politische Academicus", zielt dagegen auf angehende Studenten; Weise erklärt, welche Verhaltensregeln diese beachten sollten, um in einer fremden Stadt in einer fremden Umgebung als 'klug' und 'manierlich' zu gelten, was für die berufliche Zukunft unumgänglich ist.

Despite its relevance to the subsequent development of Western Islamic studies, the intellectual contribution of early modern Catholicism is still an under-researched area. The aim of this volume is to fill this gap, offering a series of essays dealing with the study of the Qur'an and Arabic language in early modern Catholic Europe. Focusing on the circulation of manuscripts, translations and printed books, the essays highlight how Catholic Orientalism contributed to the birth and spread of Western Islamic studies, although sometimes it was still directed towards religious polemics. Among the protagonists of this period of Islamic studies, the volume will focus on Catholic priests, missionaries, religious orders (Jesuits, Franciscans, Carmelites) Eastern Christians, converts, and other prominent figures in the Catholic culture of the time. Special attention will be given to the work of Ludovico Marracci, author of a fundamental edition of the Arabic text and Latin translation of the Qur'an with an introduction, notes, refutations and religious and linguistic insights. The volume is of interest to an audience of specialists and non-specialists interested both in Islamic and Qur'anic studies and in the history of modern Catholicism, missions, and Orientalism

What cities were there in early 16th-century Spain? With how many inhabitants? Were they fortified? And how many leagues apart were they? Those are the questions that Ferdinand Columbus tried to answer in his Vocabulary containing the names of the places and kingdoms of Spain. The present edition reconstructs the "cosmographic" endeavor of Christopher Columbus' youngest son based on two codices from the Biblioteca Capitular y Colombina of Seville.

The book explores ancient interpretations and usages of the famous Delphic maxim "know yourself". The primary emphasis is on Jewish, Christian and Greco-Roman sources from the first four centuries CE. The individual contributions examine both direct quotations of the maxim as well as more distant echoes. Most of the sources included in the book have never previously been studied in any detail with a view to their use and interpretation of the Delphic maxim. Thus, the book contributes significantly to the origin and different interpretations of the maxim in antiquity as well as to its reception history in ancient philosophical and theological discourses. The chapters of the book are linked to each other by numerous cross-references which makes it possible to compare the different views of the maxim with each other. It also helps readers to notice relationships and trajectories within the material. The explorations of the relevant sources are also set in the context of ongoing debates about the shape and nature of ancient conceptions of self and self-knowledge. The book thus demonstrates the wide variety of philosophical and theological approaches in that the injunction to know oneself could be viewed and how these interpretations provide windows into ancient discourses about self and self-knowledge.

Raro, excéntrico, monstruo: el uruguayo Mario Levrero y el argentino Alberto Laiseca permanecieron largo tiempo escritores de culto, marginales tanto en el mercado literario globalizado como en el campo de la investigación universitaria. Para acercarse a estos autores e intentar elucidar sus poéticas idiosincrásicas, el presente estudio propone el concepto original de de/lirio: la articulación productiva de una serie de trastornos en la enunciación literaria en primera persona, por un lado, que hacen oscilar el estatuto genérico del texto entre ficción y lírica, y la caracterización de este yo lírico-ficcional, por otro lado, dentro de un vasto espectro de psicopatologías cuyos síntomas múltiples refuerzan, a su vez, la inestabilidad enunciativa del texto. «Patografía» (Libertella), «neurosis del escribir» (Masiello), el de/lirio genera en Levrero y Laiseca formas de lírica desviada en las cuales un yo patético y patógeno intenta, al (auto)ficcionalizarse, abrirse de nuevo a la relacionalidad. Conectando la escritura del yo hoy en día casi ubicua con la tradición prolífica de las malas escrituras rioplatenses, el de/lirio interroga y subvierte nuestra contemporaneidad solipsista.

Sebastian Brant, Basler Jurist und (ab 1501) Syndikus, Diplomat und Kanzler der Freien Reichsstadt Straßburg, gehört zu den einflussreichen Akteuren seiner Zeit. Gewirkt hat er als Jurist und Hrsg. zentraler Rechtstexte, als Bearbeiter von Werken der Patristik, Mitarbeiter an einer sechsbändigen Vulgata-Ausgabe, der ersten europäischen Petrarca-Edition, als engagierter Verteidiger des Dogmas der Unbefleckten Empfängnis Mariens, als Dichter in lateinischer und deutscher Sprache, als Concepteur umfangreicher Holzschnittserien, als Verfasser tagesaktueller Gelegenheitsdichtungen, schließlich auch des "Narrenschiffs", das europaweite Verbreitung bis ins 18.

The Bibliotheca of Pseudo-Apollodorus, perhaps the best-known mythographic text, stands out for its comprehensive aim and state of preservation. The handbook has regularly been disregarded as a repository of 'standard' myths or as a primary witness to archaic stories, a reductive view at once underestimating and romanticizing the merits of the Bibliotheca. This monograph unlocks the Bibliotheca as a literary work in its own right by offering the first systematic commentary on an essential selection, the Cretan and Theban myths in Bibl. III.1-56, and by presenting an in-depth analysis of the text. In so doing, this volume closes a gap in current research, from which a philological commentary is entirely missing. The main part of the study focuses on various aspects of composition and organization by addressing structuring principles, narratorial interventions, and the author's method and sources. It lays to rest persistent misconceptions about the representative character of the Bibliotheca's myths, the author's merits, and his source use, all of which have divided the scholarship to this date. In addition, it provides an update on the author, date, purpose and readership, text history, and book division of the Bibliotheca.

The Unknown History of Jewish Women-On Learning and Illiteracy: On Slavery and Liberty is a comprehensive study on the history of Jewish women, which discusses their absence from the Jewish Hebrew library of the "People of the Book" and interprets their social condition in relation to their imposed ignorance and exclusion from public literacy.The book begins with a chapter on communal education for Jewish boys, which was compulsory and free of charge for the first ten years in all traditional Jewish communities. The discussion continues with the striking absence of any communal Jewish education for girls until the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and the implications of this fact for twentieth-century immigration to Israel (1949-1959)The following chapters discuss the social, cultural and legal contexts of this reality of female illiteracy in the Jewish community-a community that placed a supreme value on male education. The discussion focuses on the patriarchal order and the postulations, rules, norms, sanctions and mythologies that, in antiquity and the Middle Ages, laid the religious foundations of this discriminatory reality.

How are the resurrection appearances of Luke's Gospel shaped to offer a climax to the narrative? How does this narrative conclusion compare to the wider ancient literary milieu? Recognition and the Resurrection Appearances of Luke 24 proposes that the ancient literary technique of recognition offers a compelling lens through which to understand the climatic role of the resurrection appearances of Jesus as depicted in Luke 24. After presenting the development of recognition in ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman literature, Thompson demonstrates how Luke 24 deploys the recognition tradition to shape the form and function of the resurrection appearances. The ancient recognition tradition not only casts light on various literary and theological features of the chapter but also shapes the way the appearances function in the wider narrative. By utilizing recognition, Luke 24 generates cognitive, affective, commissive, and hermeneutical functions for the characters internal to the narrative and for the audience. The result is a compelling climax to Luke's Gospel that resonates with Luke's wider literary and theological themes. This work offers a compelling analysis of the Luke's Gospel in the ancient literary context in light of the ancient technique of recognition that will appeal to those interested in narrative approaches to the New Testament or the interpretation of the New Testament in the wider literary milieu.

There is a long-standing debate over the relation of historical linguistics and classical philology, especially within the purview of the renewed interest in it during the last decades and the recent trends that characterize philological and linguistic studies. Ever since its appearance in the nineteenth century, the history of this debate testifies to a turbulent coexistence and fertile collaboration of the two disciplines, but at times also moving along centrifugal paths. The essays in this volume address this debate and cover various aspects of linguistic and philological research of Greek and Latin, moving in the middle ground where language, linguistics and philology crosscut and cross-fertilize each other highlighting the application of linguistic theory to the study of classical texts and drawing on fields such as syntactic theory and pragmatics, historical semantics and the lexicon, reconstruction and etymology, dialectology, editorial practices, the use of corpora, and other interdisciplinary approaches that function as hinges between philology and linguistics.

This volume considers the Prabodhacandrodaya Nāṭaka (c. 1760 CE), an allegorical drama composed by Brajvāsīdās in Brajbhāṣā. It contributes to the study of vernacular nāṭakas with its first complete English translation. Moreover, the critical analysis shows that the foundational Sanskrit texts for Vedānta and those for Bhakti play a part in the Prabodhacandrodaya Nāṭaka's philosophical and religious edifice. At the same time, the investigation demonstrates that Brajvāsīdās expresses several philosophical ideas by adaptively reusing the Rāmcaritmānas by Tulsīdās (c. 1574 CE). Brajvāsīdās composes a dohā by combining one line of his invention with a line from the Mānas. This method is employed throughout all the personified metaphysical concepts. That Brajvāsī not only read Bhakti but also Vedānta through the Rāmcaritmānas highlights the philosophical and literary creativity in 18th c. North India. It points to the necessity to rethink the sources of Vedānta philosophies, by including works non-conventional for language and genre, because not in Sanskrit and not śāstras. Such sources may not be original in their contribution per se but are essential to understand how early modern philosophy was done, conceived and transmitted.

In den letzten Jahren ist die Konstruktionsgrammatik zu einem zentralen Forschungsparadigma geworden. Sie hat das Ziel, eine allgemeine Theorie der Verarbeitung und Repräsentation sprachlichen Wissens zu entwerfen, die auch (vermeintliche) Randphänomene einer Sprache einbezieht. Ausgangspunkt bildet die Auffassung der Irreduzibilität von (grammatischen) Konstruktionen als Einheiten von Form und Bedeutung. Konstruktionen, ihre Beziehungen zueinander, ihr Entstehen und Verblassen im Sprachgebrauch sowie ihre Relevanz und kognitive Realität für Sprecher und Sprecherinnen sind Gegenstand der konstruktionsgrammatischen Forschung. Der Band ist als Einführung in gebrauchsbasierte Ansätze der Konstruktionsgrammatik konzipiert. Er stellt zentrale Konzepte und Grundlagen sowie "Schulbildungen" und den aktuellen Forschungsstand in der germanistischen Linguistik vor. Daneben macht der Band Vorschläge zur Weiterentwicklung. Um die Tragfähigkeit des konstruktionsgrammatischen Beschreibungsmodells aufzuzeigen, werden anhand exemplarischer Analysen verschiedene Anwendungsbereiche diskutiert.

The study analyzes differentiated concepts of truth in Dutch prints of the 16th and 17th centuries. Against the backdrop of religious and political crises of the time, it elaborates on how copperplate engravings and etchings not only represent veritas but, by problematizing their own medial status, reflect on visual forms of evidence generation and art's specific capacity for truth.

While the contemporary era has witnessed a series of spectacular failures with severe and widespread global consequences, failure is still broadly understood on an individual level, while its broader causes and consequences receive little attention. This book reconceptualises failure as a method for characterising and critiquing systems and institutions on both a global and a local level. It defines global failure as comprising global inequality, economic crisis, and ecological disaster, and as a condition which informs and is informed by localised failure. It examines the negotiation between global and local failure in narratives of failed quests by four contemporary authors: Cormac McCarthy, Julia Kristeva, Michael Ondaatje, and Basma Abdel Aziz. As a genre, the quest narrative is associated with the idea of hard-won success. The failed quest narrative, or the narrative of the failed quest, is therefore the ideal vehicle through which to examine the socio-political and institutional conditions of failure. Primarily a contribution to the field of world literature, this book is also relevant to those with an interest in the contemporary novel, failure studies, and the quest narrative.
