Familie und Vermögen
Author:
Immenses Vermögen, transnationale Mobilität, ein globales Familiennetzwerk und erbitterte Konflikte sind die Kennzeichen der Familie Thyssen im 20. Jahrhundert. Ihr Vermögen bietet den zentralen Schlüssel für das Leben der Thyssens seit dem letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts. Es ermöglichte extravagante Lebensweisen in Europa, den USA und Südamerika. Es stand im Zentrum heftiger Konflikte innerhalb der Familie, ihm galt in Kriegs - und Krisenzeiten aber auch die gemeinsame Sorge. Um es zu erhalten und zu mehren, entwickelten die Thyssens Strategien, ihr Vermögen international möglichst unsichtbar zu streuen. Sie nahmen dabei Praktiken vorweg, die in manchem dem globalen Finanzkapitalismus der Gegenwart nahe kamen. Erstmals nimmt die Studie das ganze Spektrum der Beteiligten im Zusammenspiel von Familie und Vermögen in den Blick – von den männlichen und weiblichen Thyssens über ihre Hausangestellten bis hin zu ihren zahlreichen Rechts - und Finanzberatern.

Templars, Hospitallers, and Teutonic Knights in Medieval Epic and Romance, 1150-1500
Author:
The Knights Templar, Knights Hospitaller, and Teutonic Knights frequently appear in the French, German, and English epic and romance literature of the Middle Ages. Love, War, and the Grail examines the religious roles of the military orders, such as caring for the sick, their warrior role of fighting Muslims, and the role of Templars in the Grail romances. It traces how these roles developed over time and looks at the role of these military religious orders in fiction of the Middle Ages. Nicholson’s analysis of the military orders in medieval fictional literature is of interest both to historians and to literary specialists. This is the first in-depth study to consider the subject throughout the medieval period.

German Lay Propaganda Pamphlets, 1519-1530
Author:
Cultural, historical and textual analysis of 300 propaganda pamphlets written by 166 German laymen and women reveals that each social class heard the Reformation message differently. The writers enthusiastically interpreted the Bible for themselves, finding justification for social and economic changes which suited the aims of their own class. The new ideology deepened the existing divisions in rural and urban society. The book presents, for the first time, a comprehensive selection of 166 lay authors.
Knights, rural civil servants, technicians, patricians, lawyers and artisans describe the existing social order, their new beliefs and their hopes for change. They are eloquent and immensely human.

Spain, Portugal and France. Descriptive Catalogue of Volumes 1-8 of the Atlas
A complete descriptive and illustrated catalogue of one of the largest and finest atlases ever assembled. Now housed in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, the 46-volume atlas is an expanded version of Joan Blaeu's Atlas Maior or 'Great Atlas', published in Amsterdam between 1660 and 1663. Though the core of the atlas consists of the several hundred maps issued by Blaeu, the original owner of the atlas, Laurens van der Hem (1621-1678), added other maps, views, and drawings of his own choice, including four volumes of manuscript maps of Africa and Asia made for the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The practice of augmenting atlases was common in the seventeenth century, but few of these personalized atlases have survived the centuries. The catalogue in 7 volumes (plus a volume about the making of the facsimile) will include all the sheets in the atlas reproduced in black-and-white, with cartographical historical and arthistorical descriptions by P. van der Krogt and E. de Groot. Each volume will contain approximately 16 full-colour illustrations.

De Rotterdamsche Hermes (1720-1721) van Jacob Campo Weyerman: Cultuurhistorische verkenningen in een achttiende-eeuwse periodiek
Series:
Atlantis, Volume: 8
Author:
13 september 1720... aan de Kralingse Oudedijk, in Leeuwenburg, resideert 'kasteelheer' Jacob Campo Weyerman als Rotterdamsche Hermes. Dit 'Monster aan de Maze', kwelgeest van professie, beheerst met een scherpe pen zijn omgeving en bespot mens en wereld. Hij voert ons door Kralingen en Rotterdam, door de Republiek en de buurlanden, kwistig strooiend met schimpscheuten. Maar wie bereid is tot nader vorsen, treft daaronder een schat aan feiten en meningen.
Over die rijkdommen gaat dit boek. Het geeft een beeld van wat Weyermans eerste periodiek, de Rotterdamsche Hermes, oproept én verbergt. We zien zijn alter ego, Hermes, in Rotterdamse kroegen en koffiehuizen, schimpend op kooplieden, windhandelaars en kunstenaars. Niets en niemand ontkomt aan zijn venijnige satire: Rooms-katholieken noch quakers, orthodoxen noch vrijdenkers, artsen noch kwakzalvers, dichters noch acteurs, immigranten noch autochtonen. Dit boek ontmaskert de Rotterdamsche Hermes als een rijke bron van kennis over het verleden en een kleurrijk vuurwerk van taal. Het boek is geïllustreerd en telt 597 pagina's, ontsloten door een uitvoerige index van 31 bladzijden.
