Ernst Paraquin war Generalstabsoffizier im deutschen Heer des Ersten Weltkriegs. 1917 wurde er dem türkischen Heer attachiert und tat Dienst zunächst an der Front gegen die Engländer in Mesopotamien (Irak) und 1918 bei der türkischen Armee im Kaukasus. In den 1940er Jahren hat er seine Erinnerungen daran aufgeschrieben, die jedoch unveröffentlicht blieben. Das Manuskript gelangte 1945 als Beutegut in die Sowjetunion und liegt heute in der Lomonossow-Universität Moskau. Die Erinnerungen werden 2023 in russischer Übersetzung in Moskau erscheinen. Das deutsche Original erscheint gleichzeitig, aber separat, in Deutschland.

Erinnerungsorte zwischen Weser und Lippe
Ein Buch von 1670 hat uns gelehrt, Landschaften und Orte mit historischen Erinnerungen zu verbinden. Die „Monumenta Paderbornensia“ des Fürstbischofs Ferdinand von Fürstenberg sind ein wegweisendes Werk für die westfälische Landesgeschichte. Es erlebte mehrere Auflagen, darunter eine reich bebilderte Ausgabe, gedruckt 1672 in Amsterdam. Im Zentrum des Buchs stehen erinnerungswürdige Orte, Landschaften und Ereignisse zwischen Weser und Lippe, denen Fürstenberg ein literarisches Denkmal setzte. Experten verschiedener Disziplinen lesen das ungewöhnliche Werk neu und gehen seiner Wirkung bis heute nach. Eine Fotografin wagt zudem den Versuch, den Ortsansichten der „Monumenta“ aktuelle Ansichten gegenüber zu stellen.

Akteure, Modelle, Wahrnehmungen (1786-1918)
Der vorliegende Sammelband vereinigt Vorträge einer internationalen Tagung an der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften im Herbst 2021, die ausgehend von der preußischen Monarchie in vergleichender Perspektive europäische Monarchien auf dem Weg in die Moderne beleuchten. Die Beiträge widmen sich vornehmlich dem Hof als Institution unter den Aspekten der Funktion und symbolischen Kommunikation. Neben dem preußischen Beispiel geht es um Höfe der multinationalen Habsburgermonarchie, der Königreiche Bayern, Italien und Schweden sowie um den Hof Napoleons III. und den Kaiserhof in Japan. Ebenfalls kritisch diskutiert werden eventuelle Integrationsleistungen der Monarchien, wie sie sich unter anderem in Konzepten neugestalteter Schlösserlandschaften bzw. in der Reisetätigkeit von Monarchen und Prinzen zeigten. Dem allen vorangestellt sind, eingebettet in die Hofforschung seit Norbert Elias, empirisch basierte Aussagen der althistorischen und frühneuzeitlichen Hofforschung.

Studies in Honour of Claudia Römer
This book is dedicated to Claudia Römer and brings together 33 contributions spanning a period from the 15th to the 20th century and covering the wide range of topics with which the honouree is engaged. The volume is divided into six parts that present current research on language, literature, and style as well as newer approaches and perspectives in dealing with sources and terminologies. Aspects such as conquest, administration, and financing of provinces are found as well as problems of endowments and the circulation of goods in the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Another main topic is dedicated to minorities and their role and situation in various provinces and cities of the Ottoman Empire, as represented by various sources. But also topics like conversion, morality and control are illuminated. Finally, the volume provides an insight into the late Ottoman and early republican period, in which some previously unpublished sources (such as travel letters, memoirs) are presented and (re)discussed. The book is not only aimed at scholars and students of the Ottoman Empire; the thematic range is also of interest to linguists, historians, and cultural historians.

The Far Right from ‘Post-Fascism’ to Trumpism
In this second volume of Capital, Race and Space, Richard Saull offers an international historical sociology of the Western far-right from the end of World War II to its contemporary manifestations in Trumpism and Brexit. Focusing on its international causal dimensions, Saull draws on the theory of uneven and combined development to provide a distinct and original explanation of the evolution and mutations of the ‘post-fascist’ far-right.
Despite the transformed geopolitical context of capitalist development after 1945 – with decolonization and the end inter-imperial rivalry – the far-right continued to be intimately connected to the consolidation of the anti-communist liberal order. Thereafter, the far-right also formed an important, if contradictory, element within the neoliberal historical bloc that emerged in the 1980s and has been the main ideo-political beneficiary of the 2007-8 neoliberal crisis.

It is a well-established fact nowadays that modernity impacts Islam, but there has not been much focus on how modernity impacts the Qur’ān, the foundational text of Islam and the verbatim word of God. This book argues that the early Muslim Qur’ān translations into English are attempts to reconcile the Qur’ān with modernity by producing translations that encompass modern concepts and interpretations of the Qur’ān. Are these modern concepts and interpretations valid or they alter the word of God? This is the main question that the book attempts to answer, particularly that these early translations have affected and still affect Qur’ān translation.

The publication of this outstanding book marks the beginning of the Brill book series Roma History and Culture. The core of the present volume is an until now unpublished manuscript by Shakir Pashov (1898-1981), a Bulgarian Roma activist whose name continues to be surrounded by rumours and myths. The volume includes the original manuscript of Shakir Pashov on the history of the Gypsies in Europe, followed by archival documents highlighting his life and work, and the text of the first booklet devoted to him, which was the first attempt to create a Roma historical narrative. There is also included an extended biography of Shakir Pashov as known by now. The book contributes to identifying and highlighting the numerous inputs Roma have had to shape their activism and popularise their historical knowledge. Pashov's manuscript is a prominent example of these efforts.
