This insightful exploration delves into Middle English romances, which grapple with identity on both macro and micro levels, encompassing culture, religion, and the individual's societal role. Amidst the backdrop of political turmoil, war, and the ravages of plague, these romances probe the essence of Englishness, Christianity, gender roles, kingship, and knighthood. The encounters with the "Other," particularly Saracens, serve as a powerful lens through which to examine identity uncertainties and complexities. Saracens feature prominently in Middle English canon, from the crusade narratives involving Christian knights venturing to the Holy Land to the insular Arthurian tales. These Saracenic figures simultaneously shed light on and blur the boundaries of Middle English Christian identity. Moreover, these romances contemplate the historical context, including the series of failed crusades, prompting reflection on what it would take to achieve lasting victory in the Middle East.

Kaiser Ludwig IV. mit dem Beinamen "der Bayer" regierte mehr als eine Generation lang. Dabei stand er in vielen Konflikten mit konkurrierenden Dynastien und dem Papsttum. Zu seiner Strategie gehörte dabei, durch Privilegerteilung insbesondere im Bund mit aufstrebenden Städten im Reich (wie Nürnberg, Frankfurt am Main oder Augsburg) Verbündete und Finanzmittel zu erlangen. Adressatenspezifisch erfolgte in diesem Kontext die Ausstellung von Privilegien und Urkunden, nicht mehr in Latein, sondern zunehmend in der Volkssprache - und dies durchaus massenhaft. Die sehr zahlreichen (und bislang weitgehend unerforschten) deutschsprachigen Urkunden Ludwigs des Bayern stellen im Rahmen der Königs- und Kaiserurkunden ein Novum dar, das man bisher übersehen hatte. Der Sammelband beleuchtet daher erstmals unter interdisziplinärer Vorgehensweise systematisch Ludwig den Bayern als entscheidenden Beiträger für die Ausbildung der neuhochdeutschen Schriftsprache im europäischen Kontext.

Lorenzo Ghiberti's unfinished Commentaries is the earliest surviving writing by a great artist about theprinciples and goals of art, about his own art, and about the attributes and means necessary for the artist toproduce excellent art.Part I of this study reevaluates the character and purpose of Ghiberti's book and examines its content, structure and organization, sources, dating, literary quality and style, and its place in the literature ofItalian art. It describes each of the book's three commentaries and shows how they are interrelated andtogether form a coherent whole. It discusses Ghiberti's deliberate selection of the excerpts from Latinancient and medieval texts that comprise most of the first and third commentaries and his selection of theartists and works recorded in the second commentary, and it explores the rationale behind these choices. While all three commentaries contribute to understanding Ghiberti's interests and intent, the secondcommentary is the fulcrum of his book and can be fully appreciated only in the context of his writing as awhole. At the same time, it is important in its own right as a key source of information on late thirteenth-and fourteenth-century Tuscan and Roman painting and sculpture and Ghiberti's art. Unlike the poorlytranslated, defective, and often incomprehensible excerpts in the first and third commentaries, the secondcommentary was written almost entirely in Ghiberti's own words and is easily understood. Part II presents a new transcription and annotated English translation of this primary document for thehistory of early Renaissance art and the history of art criticism.
