Dieses interdisziplinäre Handbuch informiert umfassend über die mediävistische Forschung der letzten Jahrzehnte und ihre wichtigsten Ergebnisse. Es stellt ein Referenzwerk dar, das es ermöglicht, sich rasch und gezielt in wichtige Forschungsdiskurse einzuarbeiten und den Stand der Forschung zu rezipieren. Das englischsprachige, von einem internationalen Kollegium aus Fachgelehrten verfasste Handbuch ist vierteilig: Eine erste große Rubrik bietet Artikel zu allen wichtigen Wissensfeldern und -diskursen. Hier finden sich präzise Forschungsberichte etwa zu den Themen 'Arabische Literatur', 'Epigraphik', 'Kreuzzug' oder 'Deutsche Literatur'. Nicht die Sachen selbst werden erklärt, sondern es wird jeweils eine Perspektive auf die Forschung und ihre zentralen Fragestellungen und Kontroversen geboten. Eine zweite Rubrik bietet Artikel zu Leittermini der modernen Mediävistik und ihrer Debatten, z. B. 'Text', 'Performanz', 'Mündlichkeit/Schriftlichkeit' usw. Die dritte Rubrik ist ein Lexikon der wichtigsten Textgattungen des Mittelalters, z. B. 'Bibeldichtung', 'Chroniken', 'Visionsliteratur' usw. Die vierte Rubrik schließlich bietet ein internationales bio-bibliographisches Lexikon der wichtigsten Mediävisten aller Disziplinen von Guido Adler bis Paul Zumthor. Eine reichhaltige Gesamtbibliographie rundet das Kompendium ab. Damit liegt ein Referenzwerk vor, das den Stand der mediävistischen Forschung erschöpfend dokumentiert und die Disziplinen und Wissenschaftler des Faches zusammenführt. Das Lexikon ist unverzichtbar für jeden Mediävisten, der sich über die Forschung in seinem Arbeitsfeld zuverlässig und ausführlich informieren und einen Einstieg in die Fachliteratur gewinnen will.

Despite popular opinions of the 'dark Middle Ages' and a 'gloomy early modern age,' many people laughed, smiled, giggled, chuckled, entertained and ridiculed each other. This volume demonstrates how important laughter had been at times and how diverse the situations proved to be in which people laughed, and this from late antiquity to the eighteenth century. The contributions examine a wide gamut of significant cases of laughter in literary texts, historical documents, and art works where laughter determined the relationship among people. In fact, laughter emerges as a kaleidoscopic phenomenon reflecting divine joy, bitter hatred and contempt, satirical perspectives and parodic intentions. In some examples protagonists laughed out of sheer happiness and delight, in others because they felt anxiety and insecurity. It is much more difficult to detect premodern sculptures of laughing figures, but they also existed. Laughter reflected a variety of concerns, interests, and intentions, and the collective approach in this volume to laughter in the past opens many new windows to the history of mentality, social and religious conditions, gender relationships, and power structures.

Finite geometry and combinatorics is the art of counting any phenomena that can be described by a diagram. Everyday life is full of applications; from telephones to compact disc players, from the transmission of confidential information to the codes on any item on supermarket shelves. This is a collection of thirty-five articles on covering topics such as finite projective spaces, generalized polygons, strongly regular graphs, diagram geometries and polar spaces. Included here are articles from many of the leading practitioners in the field including, for the first time, several distinguished Russian mathematicians. Many of the papers contain important new results and the growing use of computer algebra packages in this area is also demonstrated.

Earlier theses on the history of childhood can now be laid to rest and a fundamental paradigm shift initiated, as there is an overwhelming body of evidence to show that in medieval and early modern times too there were close emotional relations between parents and children. The contributors to this volume demonstrate conclusively on the one hand how intensively parents concerned themselves with their children in the pre-modern era, and on the other which social, political and religious conditions shaped these relationships. These studies in emotional history demonstrate how easy it is for a subjective choice of sources, coupled with faulty interpretations - caused mainly by modern prejudices toward the Middle Ages in particular - to lead to the view that in the past children were regarded as small adults. The contributors demonstrate convincingly that intense feelings - admittedly often different in nature - shaped the relationship between adults and children. Frühere Thesen zur Kindheitsgeschichte können mittlerweile zu den Akten gelegt werden, denn die Masse der Beweise dafür, dass auch im Mittelalter und in der Frühneuzeit enge emotionale Beziehungen zwischen Eltern und Kindern bestanden, erweist sich als erdrückend und ermöglicht einen fundamentalen Paradigmenwechsel. Die Beiträger zu diesem Band weisen einerseits zwingend nach, wie intensiv Eltern in der Vormoderne sich um ihre Kinder gekümmert haben, andererseits führen sie auch vor Augen, welche sozialen, politischen und religiösen Bedingungen diese Beziehungen gestalteten. Diese emotionsgeschichtlichen Untersuchungen demonstrieren, wie leicht eine subjektive Quellenauswahl und Fehlinterpretationen, meist bedingt durch moderne Vorurteile besonders gegen das Mittelalter, zu der Meinung führen können, dass Kinder in der Vergangenheit als kleine Erwachsene angesehen wurden. Die Beiträger weisen überzeugend nach, dass intensive, wenngleich oftmals anders gelagerte Gefühle das Verhältnis zwischen Erwachsenen und Kindern prägten.
