Xenophon’s Virtues
While Plato’s and Aristotle’s theories of virtue have received extensive scholarly attention, less work has been done on Xenophon’s portraits of virtue and on his attitude towards the theoretical issues connected with it. And yet, Xenophon offers one of the best sources we have for thinking about virtue in ancient Greece, because he combines the analytical interests of a Socratic with a historian’s interest in real life. Until recently, scholars …

This volume constitutes the first large-scale collaborative reflection on Xenophon’s Anabasis , gathering experts on Greek historiography and Xenophon. It is structured in three sections: the first section provides a linear reading of the Anabasis through chapters on select episodes (from Book 1 through Book 7), including the opening, Cyrus’ characterisation, the meeting of Socrates and Xenophon, Xenophon’s leadership, the marches through Armenia…

Praxis - Handeln und Handelnde in Antiker Philosophie
Die DDR-Literatur und die Wissenschaften
What is the relationship between literature and the sciences? What scientific insights has it adopted and which knowledge has it produced in the process? These are the kinds of research questions that this volume is the first to discuss in relation to the previously neglected field of GDR literature, which had a productive, critical relationship to the societally central "productive power of science," which was seen as "revolutionary."
Medical Understandings of Emotions in Antiquity
This volume focuses on the under-explored topic of emotions' implications for ancient medical theory and practice, while it also raises questions about patients' sentiments. Ancient medicine, along with philosophy, offer unique windows to professional and scientific explanatory models of emotions. Thus, the contributions included in this volume offer comparative ground that helps readers and researchers interested in ancient emotions pin down pos…

The Orators and Their Treatment of the Recent Past
This volume focuses on the representation of the recent past in classical Athenian oratory and investigates the ability of the orators to interpret it according to their interests; the inability of the Athenians to make an objective assessment of it; and the unwillingness of the citizens to hear the truth, make self-criticism and take responsibility for bad results. Twenty-eight scholars have written chapters to this end, dealing with a wide rang…
The Good Christian Ruler in the First Millennium
The late antique and early medieval Mediterranean was characterized by wide-ranging cultural and linguistic diversity. Yet, under the influence of Christianity, communities in the Mediterranean world were bound together by common concepts of good rulership, which were also shaped by Greco-Roman, Persian, Caucasian, and other traditions. This collection of essays examines ideas of good Christian rulership and the debates surrounding them in divers…
The Study of Islamic Origins
The study of Islam’s origins from a rigorous historical and social science perspective is still wanting. At the same time, a renewed attention is being paid to the very plausible pre-canonical redactional and editorial stages of the Qur'an, a book whose core many contemporary scholars agree to be formed by various independent writings in which encrypted passages from the OT Pseudepigrapha, the NT Apocrypha, and other ancient writings of Jewish, C…
Eugenio Coseriu
The volume is published on the occasion of the birth centennial of Eugenio Coseriu (1921–2002). It is the first collective volume to appear in English in which various scholars present a variety of perspectives on Coseriu’s scholarly work and discuss its continuing relevance for the language sciences. Coseriu’s international reputation has suffered from his commitment to publish in languages such as Spanish, German, French, Italian, Romanian and …
Prosa
“Prose” refers to a largely free mode of speaking and writing that is not tethered to any normative form, and which permits a wide range of composition styles due to the openness of its content and form. In 18 chapters, this volume makes “prose” – an important but thus far insufficiently examined category of literary studies – the subject of historical, methodological, and theoretical investigations.

Germanische Altertumskunde im Wandel
The 100 th volume of the series Reallexikon der Germanischen Altertumskunde – Ergänzungsbände presents 18 papers from over 150 years of research on the history and culture of the Germanic peoples. The selected papers had a considerable influence on future academic debate, and thus mark watershed moments in the discipline. This first part comprises six historiographical and six archaeological contributions
Freedom, Imprisonment, and Slavery in the Pre-Modern World Cultural-Historical, Social-Literary, and Theoretical Reflections
Contrary to common assumptions, medieval and early modern writers and poets often addressed the high value of freedom, whether we think of such fable authors as Marie de France or Ulrich Bonerius. Similarly, medieval history knows of numerous struggles by various peoples to maintain their own freedom or political independence. Nevertheless, as this study illustrates, throughout the pre-modern period, the loss of freedom could happen quite easily,…

Defining Authorship, Debating Authenticity
Walter-Kempowski-Handbuch
Until now, literary researchers on Walter Kempowski (1929–2007) have lacked a comprehensive reference work that considered both the life and work of Germany’s most important author of the post-war period. The Kempowski Handbook fills this gap – in the book, leading scholars elucidate Kempowski’s biography, artistic oeuvre, and the current state of research.
Interrogating the ‘Germanic’
Any reader of scholarship on the ancient and early medieval world will be familiar with the term 'Germanic', which is frequently used as a linguistic category, ethnonym, or descriptive identifier for a range of forms of cultural and literary material. But is the term meaningful, useful, or legitimate? The term, frequently applied to peoples, languages, and material culture found in non-Roman north-western and central Europe in classical antiquity…
Encountering Buddhism and Islam in Premodern Central and South Asia
This volume brings together a variety of historians, epigraphists, philologists, art historians and archaeologists to address the understanding of the encounter between Buddhist and Muslim communities in South and Central Asia during the medieval period. The articles collected here provoke a fresh look at the relevant sources. The main areas touched by this new research can be divided into five broad categories: deconstructing scholarship on Budd…
Intratextuality and Latin Literature
Recent years have witnessed an increased interest in classical studies in the ways meaning is generated through the medium of intertextuality, namely how different texts of the same or different authors communicate and interact with each other. Attention (although on a lesser scale) has also been paid to the manner in which meaning is produced through interaction between various parts of the same text or body of texts within the overall productio…

Ambiguität im Mittelalter
The importance of ambiguity has received little attention until now in the reception of medieval culture and literature or as a focus of research. These proceedings of an interdisciplinary conference evoke the broad range of discourses and intellectual contexts relevant to ambiguity. The authors examine phenomena of ambiguity and polysemy in their literary and cultural contexts to question the supposed absence of ambiguity in medieval culture.

Die ,,Kategorien der Freiheit in Kants Praktischer Philosophie
For several years, the doctrine of the “Categories of Freedom”, which Kant delivers in a highly condensed fashion in his “Critique of Practical Reason”, has been drawing the attention of the scholars more and more. The present volume is the first to gather contributions which take this central lesson of Kant’s moral philosophy into account, while varying the emphasis both historically as well as systematically

Finite but Unbounded
World-leading anthropologists and philosophers pursue the perplexing question fundamental to both disciplines: What is it to think of ourselves as human? A common theme is the open-ended and context-dependent nature of our notion of the human, one upshot of which is that perplexities over that notion can only be dealt with in a piecemeal fashion, and in relation to concrete real-life circumstances. Philosophical anthropology, understood as the ex…

Handbuch Literatur & Materielle Kultur
This book offers an overview of the multifaceted field of material culture as it relates to literature. Beyond introducing basic theories and models for researching objects in the literary and cultural sciences, it undertakes analyses that demonstrate the manifestations and functions of material culture in literary texts from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Das Politische in der Literatur der Gegenwart
In contrast to the littérature engagée popularized after the Second World War, literature since 1995 makes use of innovative aesthetic and political techniques. The study asks how contemporary literature thematizes politics, and explores literature’s ability to create fictional spaces for imagination and reflection by way of recent developments in political philosophy, literary studies, and political science.

Disputed Memory
The world wars, genocides and extremist ideologies of the 20th century are remembered very differently across Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, resulting sometimes in fierce memory disputes. This book investigates the complexity and contention of the layers of memory of the troubled 20th century in the region. Written by an international group of scholars from a diversity of disciplines, the chapters approach memory disputes in methodolog…
Xenophanes Von Kolophon
Griechische Kleinepik
Greek short epic poetry is among the most diverse and richest sub-genres of the epic. Epyllia were created since the earliest times in a colorful diversity of forms and compositions. Some of them retell far-flung myths, often working in mixed genres, tending to humorously rework or even undermine established versions. The volume compiles six of the most important and historically influential short epics.
