Leben und Wundertaten der heiligen Elisabeth von Thüringen sind der Inhalt des 'Elisabethlebens' des Eisenacher Ratsschreibers Johannes Rothe (ca. 1360-1434). Rothe, der zuvor bereits geistliche Werke sowie drei umfangreiche Chroniken ('Eisenacher Stadtchronik', 'Thüringische Landeschronik' und 'Weltchronik) verfasst hat, bietet in der paargereimten Verslegende von über 4000 Versen die umfassende Wiedergabe der chronikalischen und legendarischen Überlieferung, wobei er neben den Chroniken besonders die lateinische Vita Dietrichs von Apolda auswertet. In dem formalen Anschluss an Heiligenlegenden und der inhaltlichen Orientierung an der Chronistik nimmt Rothe einen gattungsübergreifenden Standpunkt ein. Elisabeths Leben wird in die Genealogie des Landgrafengeschlechts eingebunden und damit zum Bestandteil der landgräflichen Memorialkultur. In der Rezeptionsgeschichte des Textes, mit zahlreichen Abschriften bis ins 18. Jh., sind entsprechende Schwerpunkte nachweisbar: das Werk wurde teils als Andachtsbuch genutzt, teils als Bestandteil der Dynastiememoria des thüringischen Herrscherhauses. Rothes Text wird hier erstmals auf der Grundlage der gesamten Überlieferung ediert. Im Parallelabdruck wird eine zweite Fassung geboten, sodass sich die Interessenverschiebungen gegenüber dem Text und die damit verbundenen Varianzen jeweils überschauen lassen.br›

Written around 1300, the Passional is the first major collection of legends in the German language and considered among the most significant and influential literary works of Middle High German spiritual epic poetry. Books I and II are now being published in an edition that documents the entire surviving literary record, the relationship to its sources, and the author's unique vocabulary. das um 1300 entstandene ‘Passional’ ist die erste große Legendensammlung in deutscher Sprache und gilt als eines der dichterisch bedeutsamsten und wirkungsmächtigsten Werke der mittelhochdeutschen geistlichen Epik. Der anonyme Autor hat den nach dem Fest- und Heiligenkalender geordneten Legendenstoff seiner Hauptquelle, der ‘Legenda aurea’ des Jacobus de Voragine, neu gegliedert und in drei Bücher aufgeteilt: Buch I fasst die auf die verschiedenen Marien- und Herrenfeste verteilten Stoffe zu einem Marienleben zusammen, Buch II enthält die Apostellegenden und Buch III 75 Heiligenleben. Im Gegensatz zu den Heiligenleben waren Buch I und II bislang nur als Abdruck einer unvollständigen Handschrift zugänglich. Sie liegen nun erstmals in einer Ausgabe vor, welche die Gesamtheit der Überlieferung, das Verhältnis zu den Quellen und den besonderen Wortschatz des Autors ausführlich dokumentiert.

The book addresses urban transformations towards sustainability in light of challenges of global urbanization processes and the consequences of global environmental change. The aim is to show that urban transformations only succeed if both innovative scientific solutions and practice-oriented governance approaches are developed. This assumption is addressed by providing theoretical insights and empirical evidence pointing particularly at 3 concepts or qualities which are determined here as being central for achieving urban sustainability: resource efficiency, quality of life and resilience. Urban case studies from several international research projects illustrate our conceptual approach of urban transformations towards sustainable development. Thus, the book reaches far beyond a mere additive description of single case studies. It incorporates the results of condensed synthesis, resulting from comparisons and evaluations. It provides, based on cross-cutting reflection of single cases and different scales and methods of analysis, general and transferable findings. They do not only consider the scientific sphere but deliberately go beyond it discussing transferability of knowledge into practice, governance options and the feasibility of policy strategies in order to pave the way for sustainable urban transformations to happen today and in the future.
