"World conflagration, flood or a simple aging and decay of the world - ancient authors dealt with concepts of the end of the world in various contexts and adapted them to their specific argumentative or poetic intentions. In doing so, one encounters a wealth of different ideas that are closely linked to the real everyday experiences of the recipients. Using a diachronic approach, the work examines which doomsday scenarios occur in which contexts and how they have been received and updated over the centuries. She places a particular focus on the questions of how early Christianity dealt with the pagan concepts of the end of the world, which elements of knowledge were used for their own positions and which representation mechanisms were used to make the concepts plausible for an early Christian target group"--

In the Middle Ages more than in other periods, eschatology informed the way people understood humankind and the world. The papers in the present volume are devoted to the complexity and interconnectivty of the eschatological orientation of the Middle Ages. Central topics are questions of the influence and formation of eschatological themes in philosophy and the significance of ideas of the final end in medieval political thought. In addition, there is a consideration of further themes from history, theology, art and literature. The 29th volume of the Miscellanea Mediaevalia contains the papers delivered to the 32nd Cologne Medieval Studies Conference plus additional contributions. The volume includes five papers on the 50-year history of the Thomas Institute, which has been organising the Cologne Medieval Studies Conference for the last half century. Stärker als in anderen Epochen prägte im Mittelalter die Eschatologie das Verständnis vom Menschen und der Welt. Die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes widmen sich der eschatologischen Orientierung des Mittelalters in ihrer Vielschichtigkeit und ihren Wechselwirkungen. Schwerpunkte bilden hierbei Fragen nach dem Einfluß und der Gestaltung eschatologischer Motive in der Philosophie sowie nach der Bedeutung der Vorstellungen vom Ende im politischen Denken des Mittelalters. Daneben werden weitere Themen aus dem Bereich der Geschichtswissenschaft, der Theologie sowie der Kunst- und Literaturwissenschaften behandelt. Der 29. Band der Miscellanea Mediaevalia enthält die Vorträge der 32. Kölner Mediaevistentagung vom September 2000, erweitert um einige zusätzliche Beiträge. Fünf Aufsätze zur 50-jährigen Geschichte des Thomas-Instituts, seit einem halben Jahrhundert der Veranstalter der Kölner Mediaevistentagung, ergänzen diesen Band.
