Julius Caesar voerde zijn Gallische Oorlog voor een belangrijk deel langs de Rijn en de Maas en leed zijn grootste nederlaag bij de Belgisch-Nederlandse grens. Een reconstructie van de noordelijke veldtochten maakt Caesars soms opvallend moderne leiderschap en strategisch denken tastbaar, maar legt ook zijn bijna fatale inschattingsfouten bloot. Tom Buijtendorp presenteert op boeiende wijze een reeks nieuwe inzichten. Met onderzoek naar Caesarbustes in met name Leiden, biedt dit boek ook letterlijk een nieuw gezicht. Caesar is niet meer wie hij geweest is.

A study, edition, and translation of the story of two independent Upper Rhine women living a spiritual life together. Lady Gertrude Rickeldey of Ortenberg (d. 1335) was a noble widow who lived a spiritual, but secular life in her own household, first in Offenburg and later in Strasbourg, the economic and cultural heart of southern Germany. Her life story was written by a lay woman from Gertrude's entourage and was based on numerous stories told by Gertrude's lifelong companion, Heilke of Staufenberg (d. after 1335). The biographer gives us a view of the aristocratic household, reports the many conversations that the women held with fellow believers and learned mendicants, and shows how they led a life of devotion in their own home, but at the same time, operated as full citizens of the city, taking part in both the civic and religious politics of Strasbourg. The details of her account reveal that the women did not take vows or renounce their possessions. They did not abandon their own decision-making power. Instead, they were mistresses of their own lives and developed into 'ethicae' of stature.00Following historical investigations into Gertrude's and Heilke's life (Part I) is an edition and translation of the fourteenth-century text on which these studies are based (Part II).
