This book is the product of an eponymous workshop, which took place in Erfurt in May, 2012, and which has since then been supplemented with four further contributions. The topics  focus on the potential mapping of perceived urban space and spatial hierarchies as a consequence of social usage (undertaken by a variety of active participants) together with spatio-temporal changes as a result of factors such as demographic urban growth and decline. Historians, cartographers and geographers are brought together to present and discuss different models, ideas and new methods of spatial analysis and modes of representing changes in perceptions. The two main subjects are: the epistemology of spatial change and the question of (historical) media and adequate presentation. This work represents a first step toward the development of a new model for mapping urban changes and spatial relations concerning the past, present and future.

"Spaces, too, have a history. And history always takes place in spaces. But what do historians mean when they use the word "spaces"? And how can spaces be historically investigated? Susanne Rau provides a survey of the history of Western concepts of space, opens up interdisciplinary approaches to the phenomenon of space in fields ranging from physics and geography to philosophy and sociology, and explains how historical spatial analysis can be methodologically and conceptually conceived and carried out in practice. The case studies presented in the book come from the fields of urban history, the history of trade, and global history including the history of cartography, but its analysis is equally relevant to other fields of inquiry. This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to the theory and methodology of historical spatial analysis"--

Wie schreibt man Geschichte? Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es, sich mit Geschichte zu beschäftigen, sie darzustellen und an andere zu vermitteln? Das gemeinsame Interesse, diese Fragen aus der Perspektive des Spätmittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit zu beantworten, hat eine internationale Forschergruppe zusammengeführt. Dabei eint sie sowohl die Einsicht, dass Historiografie in dieser Epoche im pluralistischen Sinne zu begreifen ist, als auch der Wunsch, diese Vielfalt in einem praxisnahen Lehrbuch anhand von Quellentexten und Kommentaren nach dem neuesten Stand der Forschung zu vermitteln. Die spätmittelalterliche und frühneuzeitliche Geschichtsschreibung ist ein zentrales Experimentierfeld der Historiografie, in das die hier ausgewählten und präsentierten Beispiele Einblicke vermitteln. Die damit angebotene Neustrukturierung des historiografischen Feldes geht weit über das hinaus, was die Historiografiegeschichtsschreibung des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts herausgestellt hat, und erweitert den Horizont über die Konstrukte moderner Geschichtswissenschaft hinaus erheblich. Eine zusammenfassende Synthese dieses bislang vernachlässigten Forschungsfeldes steht jedoch bislang aus und stellt ein wichtiges Desiderat der Historiografiegeschichtsforschung dar. Das Quellenhandbuch richtet sich an ein interdisziplinäres, universitäres Publikum: das heißt zum einen an fortgeschrittene Studierende und Promovierende und andererseits an Lehrende für die Verwendung im Unterricht oder an Forscher/innen, die sich über die neueren Tendenzen auf dem Gebiet der Historiografiegeschichte informieren wollen. Der Einsatz des Handbuchs bietet sich vor allem für neue Masterstudiengänge mit historischem oder kulturwissenschaftlichem Schwerpunkt an (Geschichte des Spätmittelalters, der Renaissance, der Frühen Neuzeit, Kultur-, Literatur-, Kirchen-, Wissensgeschichte etc.), weil damit Grundlagenwissen der Historiografiegeschichte quellennah und auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung vermittelt werden kann.

History is one of the most important cultural tools to make sense of one’s situation, to establish identity, define otherness, and explain change. This is the first systematic scholarly study that analyses the complex relationship between history and religion, taking into account religious groups both as producers of historical narratives as well as distinct topics of historiography. Coming from different disciplines, the authors of this volume ask under which conditions and with what consequences religions are historicised. How do religious groups employ historical narratives in the construction of their identities? What are the biases and elisions of current analytical and descriptive frames in the History of Religion? The volume aims at initiating a comparative historiography of religion and combines disciplinary competences of Religious Studies and the History of Religion, Confessional Theologies, History, History of Science, and Literary Studies. By applying literary comparison and historical contextualization to those texts that have been used as central documents for histories of individual religions, their historiographic themes, tools and strategies are analysed. The comparative approach addresses circum-Mediterranean and European as well as Asian religious traditions from the first millennium BCE to the present and deals with topics such as the origins of religious historiography, the practices of writing and the transformation of narratives.
