"Constantine was the first Christian emperor in the Roman empire. Before his victory in 312 at the battle of the Milvian Bridge outside Rome, he claimed to have seen a vision of a cross in the sky. The book analyzes the legends about the battle and the vision, from the later Roman empire to the later medieval period. By rehabilitating the significance of Maxentius, the losing emperor, this book also emphasizes the competing ideas at stake about Roman emperorship, the contours of the empire,and the place of Rome"--

Die Konstantinische Schenkung ist die ungeheuerlichste, wirkmächtigste Fälschung der Weltgeschichte. Allein die Frage nach ihrer Entstehungszeit beschäftigte Generationen von Wissenschaftlern. Was aber genau ist die Konstantinische Schenkung? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage ist die Unterscheidung zweier semantischer Ebenen unerlässlich: zum einen das Constitutum Constantini, ein fiktives Privileg, in dem u.a. die der römischen Kirche von Kaiser Konstantin aus Dankbarkeit gewährten Rechte und Geschenke aufgeführt werden, zum anderen die Konstantinische Schenkung als ein sich seit der Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts ausformendes Erinnerungsbild und Jedermannswissen. Nicht nur die Entstehung des Constitutum Constantini wird vom Autor völlig neu interpretiert, nämlich der fränkischen Opposition gegen Kaiser Ludwig den Frommen zugeschrieben, sondern auch die Geschichte seines bis in die Textimplantationen reichenden Missverständnisses seit dem Hohen Mittelalter dargestellt. Der Band enthält im Anhang alle relevanten Texte im Original und in englischer Übersetzung. The Donation of Constantine is the most outrageous and powerful forgery in world history. The question of its precise time of origin alone kept generations of researchers occupied. But, what exactly is the Donation of Constantine? To find the answer, it is necessary to approach the question on two different semantic levels: First, as the Constitutum Constantini, a fictitious privilege, in which, among other things, rights and presents were bestowed on the catholic church by a grateful Emperor Konstantin. Secondly, as a reflection of the Middle Age mindset, becoming part of the culture landscape midway through 11th century A.D. The author not only reinterprets the origin of this forgery (i.e. puts it down to the Franks' opposition of Emperor Louis the Pious), but retells, as well, the history of its misinterpretation since the High Middle Ages. In an appendix, all relevant texts are printed in the original language, an English translation is provided.

Rom unterlag zwischen dem 3. und 5. Jh. n. Chr. einem tief greifenden Transformationsprozess, der die urbane, soziale und religiöse Struktur der Stadt in gleicher Weise erfasste. Die vorliegende Studie nimmt mit der Heiligenerinnerung ein zentrales Feld dieses Wandels in den Blick. Ausgehend vom kulturwissenschaftlichen Paradigma kollektiver Identitätsstiftung durch Erinnerung, wird die Funktion der Heiligenmemoria im Hinblick auf unterschiedliche kollektiver Identitäten untersucht: die Gemeinschaft der Lebenden und Toten, die städtische Gemeinde der urbs Roma; die römische Kirche und schismastische Gemeindebildungen; der private Raum der domus; die durch die römischen Heiligenlegenden konstituierte literarische Öffentlichkeit. Angesichts der bedeutenden Rolle von Erinnerung für die antike Stadtkultur eröffnet die Heiligenmemoria zugleich eine neue Perspektive auf die städtische Entwicklung Roms im Übergang von der Spätantike zum Frühmittelalter insgesamt. Dabei ist Memoria selbst - so die abschließende These - mehr als nur ein Indikator von Veränderung: Die spezifisch christliche Konzeptualisierung von Erinnerung bildete eine der Voraussetzungen, die im Verein mit anderen Faktoren die Auflösung der spätantiken Stadt entscheidend beförderte.

The “Letter of Love and Concord” is a unique source, which allows us a glimpse into the political and religious aspirations of the Armenian Cilician elite at the end of the twelfth century, alluding to its hopes and expectations from the Crusades and the Church of Rome, as well as its uneasy relationship with the Byzantine Empire. The “Letter” is especially valuable for the wealth of information it contains on the royal ideology nurtured within the highest circles of the ruling Rubenid dynasty. The study provides an analysis of the sources used by its anonymous author, placing them within a historical context. Moreover, this marks the first time that a text based on the study of surviving sixty nine manuscripts along with its English translation has been made available for scholars.
