Auf sie stützte fast jeder europäische Fürst im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert seine Macht: jüdische Finanziers und Logistiker, politische Berater und Diplomaten, sogenannte "Hofjuden". Das jüdische Hoffaktorentum wurde zur Institution im Dreieck von Politik, Wirtschafts- und Kulturgeschichte. Klangvolle Namen sind mit ihm verbunden. Joseph Süß Oppenheimer, genannt "Jud Süß", wurde zum Inbegriff des deutschen Hofjuden und beschäftigt Historiker, Theatermacher und Komponisten bis in die Gegenwart. Wie real aber ist das Bild, das die deutsche Gesellschaft von ihm und anderen Hoffaktoren entwickelte, nicht zuletzt unter dem Einfluß der antisemitischen Propaganda der Nationalsozialisten? Wie einflußreich waren die Hofjuden wirklich? Die deutsch-jüdische Historikerin Selma Stern (1890-1981) ging diesen Fragen nach, untersuchte Mythos und Wirklichkeit. Begonnen im Deutschland der zwanziger Jahre, erschien ihre Untersuchung erst 1950 im amerikanischen Exil unter dem Titel The Court Jew. Erstmals lag damit ein interdisziplinäres Standardwerk vor. Selma Stern beschreibt darin den Aufstieg und Niedergang von Hoffaktorendynastien wie Behrens, Ephraim, Gumperts, Itzig, Kann oder Wertheimer. Sie arbeitet die wechselseitige Abhängigkeit zwischen Herrschern und Hofjuden heraus und richtet zugleich den Blick auf wirtschaftliche, politische, soziale, kulturelle und historische Zusammenhänge und Entwicklungen im absolutistischen Europa. Mehr als 50 Jahre nach seinem Erscheinen liegt der Band nun als deutsche Erstveröffentlichung vor.

Domestic Devotions in Early Modern Italy illuminates the vibrancy of spiritual beliefs and practices which profoundly shaped family life in this era. Scholarship on Catholicism has tended to focus on institutions, but the home was the site of religious instruction and reading, prayer and meditation, communal worship, multi-sensory devotions, contemplation of religious images and the performance of rituals, as well as extraordinary events such as miracles. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this volume affirms the central place of the household to spiritual life and reveals the myriad ways in which devotion met domestic needs. The seventeen essays encompass religious history, the histories of art and architecture, material culture, musicology, literary history, and social and cultural history. Contributors are Erminia Ardissino, Michele Bacci, Michael J. Brody, Giorgio Caravale, Maya Corry, Remi Chiu, Sabrina Corbellini, Stefano Dall'Aglio, Marco Faini, Iain Fenlon, Irene Galandra Cooper, Jane Garnett, Joanna Kostylo, Alessia Meneghin, Margaret A. Morse, Elisa Novi Chavarria, Gervase Rosser, Zuzanna Sarnecka, Katherine Tycz, and Valeria Viola.

Timothy J. Reiss perceives a new mode of discourse emerging in early seventeenth-century Europe; he believes that this form of thought, still our own, may itself soon be giving way. In The Discourse of Modernism, Reiss sets up a theoretical model to describe the process by which one dominant class of discourse is replaced by another. He seeks to demonstrate that each new mode does not constitute a radical break from the past but in fact develops directly from its predecessor.

Why, asks Daniel Rancour-Laferriere in this controversial book, has Russia been a country of suffering? Russian history, religion, folklore, and literature are rife with suffering. The plight of Anna Karenina, the submissiveness of serfs in the 16th and 17th centuries, ancient religious tracts emphasizing humility as the mother of virtues, the trauma of the Bolshevik revolution, the current economic upheavals wracking the country-- these are only a few of the symptoms of what The Slave Soul of Russia identifies as a veritable cult of suffering that has been centuries in the making. Bringing to light dozens of examples of self-defeating activities and behaviors that have become an integral component of the Russian psyche, Rancour-Laferriere convincingly illustrates how masochism has become a fact of everyday life in Russia. Until now, much attention has been paid to the psychology of Russia's leaders and their impact on the country's condition. Here, for the first time, is a compelling portrait of the Russian people's psychology.
