The Augustinian Monastery of Neustift, founded in 1142, houses 92 medieval manuscripts in its collection today. These have become accessible for the first time through the work of an interdisciplinary team of experts, in accordance with the guidelines of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The catalogue, which takes all codicological aspects into account, is supplemented by an extensive introduction, indices and appendices. Around 50 Neustift manuscripts have been kept at the University and State Library of Tyrol in Innsbruck since 1809. Therefore, the publication is an essential contribution to the virtual reconstruction of the former Neustift library as well as important basic work for further research. Das 1142 gegrundete Augustiner Chorherrenstift Neustift verwahrt heute 92 mittelalterliche Handschriften. Diese wurden von einem interdisziplinaren Expertenteam nach den Richtlinien der Osterreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften erstmalig umfassend erschlossen. Der samtliche kodikologische Aspekte berucksichtigende Katalog wird erganzt durch eine umfangreiche Einleitung, Register und Anhange. Zumal etwa 50 Handschriften seit 1809 an der Universitats- und Landesbibliothek Tirol in Innsbruck aufbewahrt werden, versteht sich die Publikation als wesentlicher Beitrag zur virtuellen Zusammenfuhrung des einstigen Neustifter Bestandes sowie als wichtige Grundlagenarbeit fur weiterfuhrende Forschungen.

Karl Valentin once asked: "How can it be that only as much happens as fits into the newspaper the next day?" He focussed on the problem that information of the past has to be organised, arranged and above all: selected and put into form in order to be perceived as a whole. In this sense, the process of selection must be seen as the fundamental moment - the "Urszene"--Of making History. This book shows selection as highly creative act. With the richness of early medieval material it can be demonstrated that creative selection was omnipresent and took place even in unexpected text genres. The book demonstrates the variety how premodern authors dealt with "unimportant", unpleasant or unwanted past. It provides a general overview for regions and text genres in early medieval Europe.

"An epic reappraisal of the medieval world--and the rich and complicated legacy left to us by the rise of the West--from the New York Times bestselling author of The Templars. When the once-mighty city of Rome was sacked by barbarians in 410 and lay in ruins, it signaled the end of an era--and the beginning of a thousand years of profound transformation. In a gripping narrative bursting with big names--from St Augustine and Attila the Hun to the Prophet Muhammad and Eleanor of Aquitaine--Dan Jones charges through the history of the Middle Ages. Powers and Thrones takes readers on a journey through an emerging Europe, the great capitals of late Antiquity, as well as the influential cities of the Islamic West, and culminates in the first contact between the old and new worlds in the sixteenth century. The medieval world was forged by the big forces that still occupy us today: climate change, pandemic disease, mass migration, and technological revolutions. This was the time when the great European nationalities were formed; when our basic Western systems of law and governance were codified; when the Christian Churches matured as both powerful institutions and the regulators of Western public morality; and when art, architecture, philosophical inquiry and scientific invention went through periods of massive, revolutionary change. At each stage in this story, successive western powers thrived by attracting--or stealing--the most valuable resources, ideas, and people from the rest of the world. The West was rebuilt on the ruins of an empire and emerged from a state of crisis and collapse to dominate the region and the world. Every sphere of human life and activity was transformed in the thousand years of Powers and Thrones. As we face a critical turning point in our own millennium, the legacy and lessons of how we got here matter more than ever"--
