Practices of Reading, Use, and Interaction in Early Modern Dutch Bibles (1522-1546)
Author:
This volume explores how and by whom early modern Dutch Bibles were used. Through a detailed analysis of paratextual features and readers’ traces in over 180 surviving Bible copies, Renske Hoff displays how individuals manifested their faith in owning, reading, and personalising the Bible, in a period characterised by religious turmoil.
From nuns and countesses to tailors and merchants: Bibles were read by a diverse public. Printer-publishers shaped the contents and paratextual features of their Bible editions to suit the varied wishes of the reading public. Readers themselves added marginalia, corrected the text, or pasted texts and images in their books, displaying their creativity as users as well as stressing the malleability of the material Bible.

Das Journal Thornische Nachrichten von gelehrten Sachen (1762–1766) im preußisch-polnischen Kulturraum
Author:
Die „gelehrten Journale“ des 18. Jahrhunderts ermöglichen es, Einblicke in den europäischen Informations- und Ideentransfer während der Zeit der Aufklärung zu gewinnen. Die „Thornischen Nachrichten von gelehrten Sachen“ (1762-1766) tun dies – dank ihrer Prägung durch mehrere Kulturräume – auf eine ganz besondere Weise. Konzipiert in deutscher Sprache und nach dem Muster der deutschen Rezensionszeitschriften, herausgegeben auf dem Gebiet Polen-Litauens, aber in einer Region (Königliches Preußen) deren Bewohner sich als Preußen identifizierten, hatte sich das Journal Informationsvermittlung über Neuerscheinungen aus Polen und Preußen auf die Fahne geschrieben. Katarzyna Chlewicka erschließt ihrer Leserschaft den komplexen Charakter dieser Publikationen, indem sie darstellt, wie sich regionale preußische Identität, Konzepte der Literaturkritik sowie die Rezeption der polnischen und preußischen Aufklärung in den Journalen niederschlugen.

Military Entrepreneurs in the Early Modern World
Series:
History of Warfare, Volume: 145
“Money, money, and more money.” In the eyes of early modern warlords, these were the three essential prerequisites for waging war. The transnational studies presented here describe and explain how belligerent powers did indeed rely on thriving markets where military entrepreneurs provided mercenaries, weapons, money, credit, food, expertise, and other services. In a fresh and comprehensive examination of pre-national military entrepreneurship – its actors, structures and economic logic – this volume shows how readily business relationships for supplying armies in the 17th and 18th centuries crossed territorial and confessional boundaries.
By outlining and explicating early modern military entrepreneurial fields of action, this new transnational perspective transcends the limits of national historical approaches to the business of war.
Contributors are Astrid Ackermann, John Condren, Jasmina Cornut, Michael Depreter, Sébastien Dupuis, Marian Füssel, Julien Grand, André Holenstein, Katrin Keller, Michael Paul Martoccio, Tim Neu, David Parrott, Alexander Querengässer, Philippe Rogger, Guy Rowlands, Benjamin Ryser, Regula Schmid, and Peter H. Wilson.
