This groundbreaking book focuses on Alfred Dreyfus the man, with emphasis placed on his own writings, including his recently published prison workbooks and his letters to his wife Lucie. Through close reading of these documents, a much more sensitive, intellectual, and Jewish man is revealed than was previously suspected. He and Lucie, through their family connections and mutual loyalty, were interested in and supported the artistic, scientific, philosophical and historical movements that formed their Parisian milieu. But as an Alsatian Jew, Alfred was also critical of many aspects of technological and ideological developments, making his mentality one of skepticism as well as idealism. Norman Simms addresses the way Dreyfus perceived the world, challenged many of its assumptions and contextualized it in the style of a rabbinical midrash, a process that created what Alfred called a “phantasmagoria” of the Affair that bears his name, and also interprets the man, his milieu and his mentality in the style of a midrash, a creative, transformative reading.

Jedes über einen längeren Zeitraum gewachsene Archiv stellt einen komplizierten und höchst individuellen Organismus dar. So erscheint es auch und gerade im digitalen Zeitalter nicht überflüssig, dem Benutzer eine Anleitung zur Verfügung zu stellen, um Geschichte und Aufbau des jeweiligen Archivs besser verstehen zu können. Uwe Czubatynski, Archivar des Domstifts Brandenburg, bietet einen Gesamtüberblick aller Teilbestände des Domstiftsarchivs - der "Schatzkammer" des Landes Brandenburg. Im Einzelnen beschrieben sind sowohl der eigene Bestand des Domstifts als auch die Deposita aus dem Land Brandenburg, ebenso alle größeren historischen Buchbestände, die Nachlässe und die archivischen Sammlungen. Der Forschung stehen auf diese Weise Angaben zur kirchlichen Verwaltungsgeschichte sowie zum sachlichen Inhalt der einzelnen Bestände (einschließlich der oft benutzten Kirchenbücher) zur Verfügung.
