Lanka, Ceylon, Sarandib: merely three disparate names for a single island? Perhaps. Yet the three diverge in the historical echoes, literary cultures, maps and memories they evoke. Names that have intersected and overlapped - in a treatise, a poem, a document - only to go their own ways. But despite different trajectories, all three are tied to narratives of banishment and exile. Ronit Ricci suggests that the island served as a concrete exilic site as well as a metaphor for imagining exile across religions, languages, space and time: Sarandib, where Adam was banished from Paradise; Lanka, where Sita languished in captivity; and Ceylon, faraway island of exile for Indonesian royalty under colonialism. Utilising Malay manuscripts and documents from Sri Lanka, Javanese chronicles, and Dutch and British sources, Ricci explores histories and imaginings of displacement related to the island through a study of the Sri Lankan Malays and their connections to an exilic past.

Die Emigration aus politischen, wirtschaftlichen oder beruflichen Gründen und Auslandsaufenthalte aufgrund von Studienreisen oder aus Abenteuerlust bilden einen breiten, bis heute von vielen Intellektuellen geteilten Erfahrungsschatz, der zu Anfang der Frühen Neuzeit in vielfältiger und oft paradigmatischer Weise reflektiert wurde. Der vorliegende Band konzentriert sich daher auf Autoren der frühen Renaissance von Petrarca bis um ca. 1530, wobei weniger die historisch-biographische Rekonstruktion individueller Schicksale im Vordergrund stehen soll, sondern die literarische Vorstellungswelt und die verschiedenen Formen, in denen Exil und Heimatferne im Spannungsfeld zwischen ‚Realität‘, self-fashioning und antiker Tradition thematisiert wurden.
