Love, Sex and Marriage in the Jewish Magic of Late Antiquity and the Early Islamic Period
This article attempts to characterize Jewish magic activity pursued for the sake of »love« during Late Antiquity and the early Islamic period. It relies largely on the magic sources themselves – incantation bowls, amulets and magic recipes, dating from the 5th to the 13th centuries. My focus is on three main aspects that Jewish love magic offered assistance with: gaining love; creating, preserving and restoring marriage; and achieving sexual inte…

“Practical Kabbalah” and the Jewish Tradition of Magic
This article deals with the Jewish tradition of magic and its relationship with Kabbalah.1 It begins by clarifying internal and external views of magic in Judaism, the place of “Kabbalah” and “kabbalists” in the traditional Jewish discourse of ritual power, and the role of “practical Kabbalah” in Israel’s market of New Age spiritual therapies. The focus is on the mutual relationships between the conceptual and performative foundations of Jewish m…

Homo Deus
In seinem Kultbuch „Eine kurze Geschichte der Menschheit“ erklärte Yuval Noah Harari, wie unsere Spezies die Erde erobern konnte. In „Homo Deus“ stößt er vor in eine noch verborgene Welt: die Zukunft. Was wird mit uns und unserem Planeten passieren, wenn die neuen Technologien dem Menschen gottgleiche Fähigkeiten verleihen – schöpferische wie zerstörerische – und das Leben selbst auf eine völlig neue Stufe der Evolution heben? Wie wird es dem Hom…

The article opens with a discussion of the tradition of practical Kabbalah and the rol…

MATTHEW BENNETT, SANDHURST. Alongside the familiar pitched battles, regular sieges, and large-scale manoeuvres, medieval and early modern wars also involved assassination, abduction, treason and sabotage. These undercover operations…

The Concept of "Decisive Battles" in World History
This article discusses the historiography of the concept of "decisive battles" and tries to explain both its popularity and its present eclipse, focusing in particular on the ideological and aesthetic foundations of the concept. The article further considers whether the concept might still be useful for the writing of world history. It concludes that there is some merit in the traditional view of decisive battles as events that change the course …
Military Memoirs
The article surveys the history of military memoirs in the west from the Middle Ages to the late modern era. It examines the relation of military memoirs to other literary and historiographical genres, such as conversion narratives, service records, and oral life-stories. It focuses in particular on the rising visibility of memoirs composed by common soldiers and junior officers. The article then analyses the historiographical importance of this …

Moses, the Sword, and The Sword of Moses
»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes.

The Wars of Edward III
When Edward III came to the throne of England in 1327, England's military reputation had reached a low ebb. The young king's first campaign against the Scots was a complete failure, and the next year the 'shameful peace' set the seal on Robert Bruce's victory in the First Scottish War of Independence. Twenty-two years later, however, King Jean II of France and King David II of Scotland were both prisoners in London, an English army was camped out…
Strategy and Supply in Fourteenth-Century Western European Invasion Campaigns
Inter-frontal Cooperation in the Fourteenth Century and Edward III's 1346 Campaign
T spatial scale of medieval wars was often as extensive as that of modern ones, and could involve fighting on several fronts hundreds of kilometres apart. For example, during the first two decades of the Hundred Years War the fighting was never limited to a single front, and in 1346 fighting took place in Northern England, Artois, Brittany, Normandy and Gascony. However, it is far from clear whether such simultaneous operations were conducted as …
