Abstract

This volume contains English translations of two important early French and German defences of freedom of the press. Almost unknown in the English-speaking world, these texts demonstrate that freedom of the press was an important issue in other parts of Europe in the early modern period, giving rise to articulate theories. Elie Luzac's Essay on Freedom of Expression (1749) defended freedom of the press for atheists on natural law and other grounds. Carl Friedrich Bahrdt's On Freedom of the Press and its Limits (1787) drew on natural law, religious rhetoric, and political journalism to make the case for understanding freedom of the press as a human right. Together, these texts show that the French and German traditions included their own intellectual resources for defending modern rights, before the American Bill of Rights and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man.

Abstract

Die vorliegende Studie, bei welcher es sich um eine leicht überarbeitete Dissertationsschrift (doc.CH-Projekt) handelt, untersucht die Editions- und Rezeptionsgeschichte des jüdischen Schriftstellers Flavius Josephus († ca. 100 n. Chr) in der Zeit des Basler Humanismus. Die ursprünglich auf griechisch verfassten Werke des Josephus, die von den Christen seit der Spätantike als zentrale Quelle für jüdische Religion und Geschichte intensiv rezipiert wurden, waren im westlichen Mittelalter nur noch in einer sehr weit verbreiteten, jedoch mangelhaften und unvollständigen lateinischen Übersetzung zugänglich. Dieser sog. Josephus Latinus konnte den philologischen und stilistischen Ansprüchen der humanistischen Gelehrten nicht mehr genügen. Das Wiederaufspüren des griechischen Originals sowie eine genauere und elegantere lateinische Übersetzung wurden daher im frühen 16. Jh. zu einem grossen Desiderat der respublica litteraria. Dieser Wiederentdeckungs- und Transformationsprozess der Werke des Josephus steht im Fokus der vorliegenden Arbeit. Erstens wird nachgezeichnet, wie die Basler Offizin Froben, u.a. mithilfe des transnationalen Netzwerks des Erasmus von Rotterdam, aus ganz Europa griechische Handschriften dieses Autors zusammensuchte. Zweitens werden anhand erhaltener Druckvorlagen, Paratexte und weiterer Quellen die Editions- und Übersetzungsmethoden von Frobens Korrektor Sigismund Gelenius rekonstruiert, mit welchen dieser nicht nur die griechische editio princeps (Basel 1544), sondern auch zwei lateinische Neufassungen (Basel 1534 u. 1548) des Josephus erstellte. Abschliessend wird anhand der Reaktionen zeitgenössischer und späterer Gelehrter dargelegt, wie diese veränderten Textgestalten die Editions- und Rezeptionsgeschichte des Josephus in der Frühen Neuzeit - und weit darüber hinaus - tiefgreifend beeinflusst haben. Diese Studie verbindet Methoden der klassisch-philologischen Textanalyse mit Ansätzen der Überlieferungs- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte sowie der "Book History". Die wegweisenden Josephus-Editionen aus der Offizin Froben werden daher nicht nur im Hinblick auf ihre Textgestalt untersucht, sondern auch im geistes- und kulturgeschichtlichen Kontext der Schweizer Reformation, des oberrheinischen Humanismus und des Basler Buchdrucks verortet. Damit entsteht eine Fallstudie, die für altphilologische wie auch frühneuzeitliche Forschungsfelder zahlreiche Vergleichs- und Anknüpfungspunkte bereithält.

Abstract

This volume tries to map out the intriguing amalgam of the different, partly conflicting approaches that shaped early modern zoology. Early modern reading of the “Book of Nature” comprised, among others, the description of species in the literary tradition of antiquity, as well as empirical observations, vivisection, and modern eyewitness accounts; the “translation” of zoological species into visual art for devotion, prayer, and religious education, but also scientific and scholarly curiosity; theoretical, philosophical, and theological thinking regarding God’s creation, the Flood, and the generation of animals; new attempts with respect to nomenclature and taxonomy; the discovery of unknown species in the New World; impressive Wunderkammer collections, and the keeping of exotic animals in princely menageries. The volume demonstrates that theology and philology played a pivotal role in the complex formation of this new science. Contributors include: Brian Ogilvie, Bernd Roling, Erik Jorink, Paul Smith, Sabine Kalff, Tamás Demeter, Amanda Herrin, Marrigje Rikken, Alexander Loose, Sophia Hendrikx, and Karl Enenkel.

Abstract

A varied collection of articles on early Hebrew printing, encompassing motifs on title pages such as lions, eagles, and fish as well as the entitling of Hebrew books. The next section is on authors and places of publication addressing such diverse topics as a much republished book opposed to gambling, authors of books on philology and on the massacres of tah-ve-tat (1648-49); of articles on diverse and disparate places of printing, Chierie, Hamburg, Offenbach, Verona, and Slavuta, generally small barely remembered publishers of interesting works, and in the last location properly identifying the printer of the highly regarded Slavuta press. Included is a section on Christian-Hebraism with articles on Altdorf where polemical books were published and another on William Wotten, a Christian vicar who published the first English translation of Mishnayot. The result is a wide-ranging series of articles highlighting the activities of early Hebrew presses and printers.

Abstract

For too long, the Earth has been used to ground thought instead of bending it; such grounding leaves the planet as nothing but a stage for phenomenology, deconstruction, or other forms of anthropocentric philosophy. In far too much continental philosophy, the Earth is a cold, dead place enlivened only by human thought—either as a thing to be exploited, or as an object of nostalgia. Geophilosophy seeks instead to question the ground of thinking itself, the relation of the inorganic to the capacities and limits of thought. This book constructs an eclectic variant of geophilosophy through engagements with digging machines, nuclear waste, cyclones and volcanoes, giant worms, secret vessels, decay, subterranean cities, hell, demon souls, black suns, and xenoarcheaology, via continental theory (Nietzsche, Schelling, Deleuze, et alia) and various cultural objects such as horror films, videogames, and weird Lovecraftian fictions, with special attention to Speculative Realism and the work of Reza Negarestani. In a time where the earth as a whole is threatened by ecological collapse, On an Ungrounded Earth generates a perversely realist account of the earth as a dynamic engine materially invading and upsetting our attempts to reduce it to merely the ground beneath our feet.
