Printing the Event: The Press as Mass Medium in Italy and Germany in the First Age of Print, 2025
---
Printing the Event examines the use of print in the first decades after its invention. It analyzes how in this period print was used not only as a method to reproduce texts but also as a new medium to share news and ideas about current events. Focusing on the German-speaking territories in Italy, the volume aims to shed further light on the initial stages of a medium destined to have a wide-ranging impact on human history.

Das Interdikt in der europäischen Vormoderne (The Interdict in premodern Europe), 2021
enthielt diese häufig angewandte Form der kirchlichen Strafpraxis stets ein besonderes Konfliktpotential. Ein Interdikt beschwor für jeden einzelnen Gläubigen einen unheilvollen Gewissens- und Loyalitätstest herauf, der erwünschte (Druck auf die Obrigkeit) und unerwünschte (Häresien, religiöser ›Eigensinn‹) Reaktionsszenarien provozierte. Der Band erschließt erstmals europäisch vergleichend das analytische Potenzial des Interdikts als spezifisch vormodernes Querschnittsphänomen, das gleichermaßen
kirchen-, rechts- und sozialgeschichtliche Perspektiven eröffnet.
Band 33 enthält die ausgearbeiteten Beiträge eines gemeinsam mit dem Deutschen Historischen Instituts in Rom am 9. und 10. November in Rom veranstalteten Symposions, welches sich der für die spätere literarische Produktion bedeutsamen zweiten Italienreise (Herbst 1515 bis Sommer 1517) des streitbaren Humanisten Ulrich von Hutten widmete. Quellenfunde in römischen Archiven bringen Neues zu dessen mehrmonatigem Aufenthalt in der Ewigen Stadt, der bislang nur durch literarische Zeugnisse bekannt war. So konnte durch Zeugenlisten in Notariatsakten sein personales Umfeld erschlossen und sogar sein Quartier am Campo de‘ Fiori ausgemacht werden.

handliche Kurzversion längerer Sammlungen wurde diese Kompilation wahrscheinlich im Kontext der bischöflichen Gerichtsbarkeit in der Erzdiözese Salzburg genutzt.
This article undertakes an in-depth analysis and interpretation of the manuscript Perg. 23 in the Klagenfurt University Library, a compilation of legal texts from the second half of the 12th century, with regard to the reception of learned law north of the Alps in the High
Middle Ages. The results show that the Roman and canon law texts in this codex were substantially drawn from sources compiled in an early French law school. However, the compilation also contains a new textual witness of the so-called Collectio Augustana. As a handy short version of the more voluminous collections, this compilation was probably used in the context of episcopal jurisdiction in the archdiocese of Salzburg.

which made travels by sea seem less worthy of discussion. A historical survey reveals that there is sufficient source material for a study of papal ship travel in Late Antiquity, thereafter particularly in the 12th and 13th centuries, and then again after the Great Schism. In this period, popes generally chartered ships or were offered them for travel by naval powers; it
wasn’t until the 15th century that, in the context of their crusade plans, they considered building their own vessels. While travel by sea was far more comfortable and faster than by land, it had certain risks, such as storms and seasickness, and posed new challenges for the papal ceremonial, in particular regarding the adventus. The metaphorical aspects of nautical
travel were not only positive for popes, but also lent themselves to late-medieval and reformation criticism of the pope as poor steersman of the Ship of St Peter.

relationship between the Servites of Santissima Annunziata
in Florence and Cosimo and Piero de’ Medici, especially their
early patronage of the chapel of the Madonna della Nunziata.
Furthermore, the article draws attention to a significant but
little-known manuscript containing the works of the Servite
friar Paolo Attavanti, which provides crucial information
about the Servites in Florence, the promotion of their blessed
and their cults, the intellectual life of Santissima Annunziata,
its patronage network, and other topics. Attavanti’s hitherto
unknown correspondence with Cosimo the Elder not only
reveals new aspects of Medici patronage, but also sheds new
light on the author’s biography, the genesis of his works on
the history of the order (especially his Dialogus de origine Ordinis
Servorum ad Petrum Cosmae filium Medicem), and in particular the
cult of Santissima Annunziata in Early Renaissance Florence.
The article thus contributes to acknowledging the diversity of
religious orders and their attempts to encourage patronage of
their churches during the Renaissance.
