Franz Spina, der erste Bohemist an der Prager deutschen Universität, wirkte nicht nur im engeren akademischen Rahmen, sondern war als Politiker und mehrfacher Minister einer der führenden Repräsentanten des deutschböhmischen politischen Aktivismus in der ersten Tschechoslowakischen Republik. Sein Einfluss auf den intellektuell-wissenschaftlichen Diskurs in Böhmen bzw. später der Tschechoslowakei ist von nicht zu unterschätzender Bedeutung, doch fand eine umfassende Auseinandersetzung mit seinem Leben und Werk bisher nicht statt. Der vorliegende Sammelband unternimmt den Versuch einer breit angelegten Würdigung Spinas aus literatur-, kultur- und geschichtswissenschaftlicher Perspektive.

Prompted by renowned poet E.D. Blodgett's deep love for and intimate experience of Prague, Praha is a poetic homage to the legendary city's vital spirit. As they build on one another, the poems in the collection lift the reader over the threshold of purely mythic understanding and into the heart of one of Europe's loveliest and most venerable cities. Each poem is accompanied by a translation into Czech, encouraging even those who do not know the language to immerse themselves in its sound. Superbly complemented by the mysteriously eloquent paintings of Czech artist Robert Kessner, Praha offers

Der Prager Germanist August Sauer wirkte nicht nur im engeren akademischen Rahmen an der dortigen Karl-Ferdinand-Universität, sondern auch in kultur- und wissenschaftspolitischer Hinsicht. Sein Einfluss auf die intellektuellen und wissenschaftlichen Diskurse in Böhmen bzw. später der Tschechoslowakei, aber auch auf Habsburg-Österreich insgesamt ist von nicht zu unterschätzender Bedeutung. Der vorliegende Sammelband würdigt August Sauers Werk aus literatur-, kultur- und geschichtswissenschaftlicher Perspektive, bei der der kultur- und wissenschaftspolitische Kontext genauso in den Blick genommen wird wie der engere fachhistorische Rahmen.

Translated by Leon J. Weinberger with Dena Ordan ""This slender anonymous work, spanning 1389 to 1611, presents the priorities and concerns of a Jewish community straddling the late medieval and early modern periods. Ample footnotes and explanations provide the lay reader with sufficient background to understand the references to historical events and figures, to ideologies and to institutions. A comprehensive introduction presents the realities of Prague and Bohemia, as well as offering a helpful discussion of the chronicle and other contemporary Jewish accounts.""-Con

"This is the first modern edition and translation of the writings of the Neo-Latin poet Elizabeth Jane Weston (c. 1581-1612), the stepdaughter of Edward Kelley, court alchemist of Rudolf II of Prague. Weston became widely celebrated as the 'Virgo Angla' and was held in high esteem in the international republic of letters of her time. This collection of poems and letters written by her, to her, and, occasionally, about her, sheds new light on the possibilities of artistic self-representation available to women at the end of the sixteenth century."--Jacket

This book offers an examination of Jewish communal memory in Prague in the century and a half stretching from its position as cosmopolitan capital of the Holy Roman Empire (1583-1611) through Catholic reform and triumphalism in the later seventeenth century, to the eve of its encounter with Enlightenment in the early eighteenth. Rachel Greenblatt approaches the subject through the lens of the community's own stories-stories recovered from close readings of a wide range of documents as well as from gravestones and other treasured objects in which Prague's Jews recorded their history.
