The Lucianic text of the Historical Books is demonstrably a late, recensional text, but it has numerous curious agreements with the earliest witnesses against B and the majority of the manuscripts. Tuukka Kauhanen aims at throwing light on this "proto-Lucianic problem" in 1 Samuel (1 Kingdoms) by taking a comprehensive view of all the relevant witnesses. Kauhanen concludes that there are significantly less of actual proto-Lucianic readings than has often been supposed and refutes the old theory of the "proto-Lucianic recension".

The Syrohexapla is widely believed to be a faithful witness to the Hexapla of Origen. This Syriac version was produced in the seventh century on the basis of Greek texts related to Origen's six-columned masterpiece of biblical scholarship. The signs used in Origen's Hexapla, as well as the readings of several Greek Jewish versions which are no longer fully extant, are preserved in this version. The present study evaluates the Syrohexapla as a witness to these hexaplaric materials in 3 Kingdoms (1 Kings).The nearly 600 signs preserved in the Syrohexapla are analysed, divided into correctly marked asterisks, correctly marked obeli, and inaccurately marked readings. The more than 300 readings attributed to the Greek Jewish versions are treated separately. Finally, by including a chapter which examines a portion of the many readings in the Syrohexapla for which no hexaplaric sign has been preserved, the author balances assessments of the reliability of the Syrohexapla for studying the remains of Origen's Hexapla.This study prepares the way for the author's new critical edition of the hexaplaric fragments of 3 Kingdoms.

This volume of the new DSI series is the most comprehensive investigation of Hebrew and Greek translation equivalents in Ps 42-43 in the Psalter and in the Septuagint as a whole currently available. This detailed study does not only include the translation equivalents in the Septuagint, the semantic meanings of the Hebrew and Greek words are also discussed and parallels in the LXX as well as in the Hebrew Bible are included. A systematic investigation of the translator's method must be carried out before one can use the manuscripts in a proper way. Accordingly, the extensive translation-technical emphasis and the discussion of text-critical matters make it possible to present a more accurate Old Greek text and this book may thus contribute to a new critical edition of the Greek Psalter. The book is also in some respects in itself a text-critical study, since all variants in Rahlfs' edition of the Septuagint Psalms, with the addition of Papyrus Bodmer XXIV (Rahlfs 2110), as well as Hebrew variants, are referred to and studied. This includes suggestions and evaluations of the Hebrew Vorlage behind the Septuagint text. It is also a commentary on the Hebrew and the Greek texts of Ps 42-43. Like other commentaries, it describes the position of the psalm, it presents the unity and form of the psalm, its structure and its relation to the close context. As a commentary on both the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint, it gives an overall interpretation of the psalm in Hebrew and in Greek separately. The book can be read by the specialist in Septuagint studies as well as all scholars interested in translation, textual criticism, and in the book of Psalms, not least its use of metaphors and the reflection of temple theology.

Art objects and pictures of the first millennium BC Chr. From the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean are viewed here from a perspective that sees art as a symbolic data carrier. Art conveys culturally shaped statements and thereby allows conclusions to be drawn about the culture, world view and religion of a people. In this book, it is examined in its triple function as an artifact, visual medium and reflection of cultural ideas.

Teamwork is expected to be a highly successful way to create synergies in organisations and companies. Yet all of us have had the experience of sitting through inefficient team meetings, spending too much time on organisational issues. Clearly collaborative consultation in its various forms is a common part of our daily work life. But does one organise working effectively in a team and as a team? On the basis of his long-standing experience as counsellor and supervisor Johannes Herwig-Lempp developed a systemic approach to team support. In this book he shows how to easily learn, adapt and practice this techniques.

The present work deals not only with the well-organized right extremism in modern Europe as well as with its function in proper political parties, but equally includes two additional, broader approaches: the militant branches and subcultures that exist, including some paramilitary phenomena in Eastern Europe; and the broad realm of their political ideas and cultural trends and the influence they exert on European political culture.

The Jewish history and culture of the Bohemian countries have been enjoying growing interest for around two decades. This places the region's historically multi-ethnic character at the center of attention. Against this background, it is all the more surprising that no innovative synthesis of this research has yet been available. For the first time, this book, written by an international team of authors, is taking up the challenge of telling and analyzing the Jewish experience in the Bohemian countries as an integral and inseparable part of the development of Central Europe from the 16th century to the present day. It is just as much about contacts of the Jewish population with their non-Jewish neighbors as it is about the view of the province, that is, of the rural regions and communities away from the major urban centers of Prague, Brno and Ostrava.

Debates about social modernization processes determined the public discourse of the Weimar Republic. The images of the USA and the Soviet Union that were produced in German newspapers and magazines, which were perceived as modernity projects, played a special role. This is where David Franz's study comes in, comparing conflicting depictions of both countries in the leading German print media of the time and embedding them in the social conditions of the interwar period. In addition to journalistic texts, visual representations were also examined. The study thus takes into account both the role of the Soviet Union, which has so far received little attention, as well as the power of visual representation in the debates of the Weimar Republic. As a result, it traces the lines of the interpretive struggles over modernization processes in society, economy and politics that were characteristic of the public debate of the Weimar Republic.

The essays in this volume present a nuanced analysis of the development of scientific fields and institutions in Eastern Europe during the "long 19th century" (1789-1914).In 19th century Western Europe science often developed in the context of emerging national states. In Eastern and East-Central Europe, however, until World War I science operated in the imperial framework of the Habsburg and Tsarist Empires. The imperial characteristics of these states (such as multinationality, linguistic diversity, and a pronounced polarity between centers and peripheries) created specific conditions for the sciences. Taking this observation as a starting point, this volume addresses the interplay of science and empire in Imperial Russia and the Habsburg Monarchy in a comparative framework.

Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts verwüsteten Epidemien der Schlafkrankheit weite Teile der europäischen Kolonialgebiete in Afrika. Diese akute Krise in den Krankheitsgebieten setzte eine ganze Reihe von Entwicklungen in Gang, deren Reichweite sich keineswegs auf den afrikanischen Kontinent beschränkte. Während in den Kolonien Zwangsuntersuchungen und -behandlungen der afrikanischen Bevölkerung eingeführt, Verkehrswege kontrolliert und ganze Landstriche evakuiert und umgestaltet wurden, formierte sich in Europa die Tropenmedizin als avantgardistisches Projekt an einer Schnittstelle von Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik. Stellte die Konfrontation mit der Krankheit die Kolonialmächte zwar vor massive Schwierigkeiten, so öffnete sie gleichzeitig ein koloniales Experimentierfeld für Biomedizin, Pharma-Industrie und Administrationen. Die Studie beschreibt die Entstehung dieses neuen Forschungs- und Interventionsfeldes als eine europäische Verflechtungsgeschichte. Was sagen die Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung der Krankheit über die imperiale Prägung moderner Biomedizin? Welche Dynamiken kolonialer Herrschaft und internationaler Politik lassen sich an ihnen ablesen? Anhand dieser Fragen öffnet die Studie das Thema nicht nur für medizinhistorische Zugriffe, sondern auch für aktuelle Fragen der Global- und Zeitgeschichte.

Von imperialen Utopien zu gelebten Wirklichkeiten: Imperiale Expansionsprozesse werden meist eurozentrisch und linear dargestellt. Europäische Großreiche, so die gängige Lesart, eigneten sich unter Rückgriff auf ambivalente Kulturmodelle und technologischen Fortschritt weite Teile der außereuropäischen Welt an. Die Studie der Kolonialgeschichte Alaskas im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert nimmt dagegen einen Perspektivwechsel vor. Die Positionen der Machtzentren Sankt Petersburg und Washington, D.C. werden ergänzt um die Erlebnis- und Vorstellungswelten der unmittelbaren Träger kolonialer Expansion: der russischen Kolonisten in Alaska. Das Bild des kolonialen Alaskas wird so neu interpretiert. An die Stelle von vermeintlicher zivilisatorischer Überlegenheit und imperialer Rhetorik treten Unsicherheit, Unterversorgung, Konkurrenz, Angst und Gefahr.

The number of eponymous female characters in Handel's work is remarkable, from the first opera Almira (1705) to the last melodramma Deidamia (1740), supplemented by Esther, Deborah and Athalia. In the contributions of the GHB 2016, the female figure is traced in the music of Handel's time, guided by the central aesthetic terms 'sensitive', 'heroic' and 'sublime'. In addition, there are studies by Hans Joachim Marx and Ton Koopman, in addition to the usual bibliography and communications from the Göttinger Handel Society. V.

Maciej Ptaszyński befasst sich mit der zweiten Generation lutherischer Pfarrer im Herzogtum Pommern des 16. Jahrhunderts. Dieser Zeitraum ist in der Kirchengeschichte Pommerns als Konsolidierungsphase zu bezeichnen: In der pommerschen Kirche, die sich bereits 1534 für die Reformation ausgesprochen hatte, beschleunigten sich die Prozesse der Konfessionsbildung während dieser Zeit. In den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren des 16. Jahrhunderts wurden ein Corpus Doctrinae (1565) gedruckt, eine neue Kirchenordnung und kirchliche Agende verabschiedet (1563/1569), das Synodalsystem geschaffen und Konsistorien in Greifswald und Stettin gegründet.Er beschäftigt sich mit den pommerschen Pastoren, einer Gruppe von über 2000 Männer, die seit den 1550ern Jahren ihre Posten übernahmen und bis zum Dreißigjährigen Krieg innehatten. In der Darstellung verfolgt er zwei Ziele: Zum einen erfasst er diese Gruppe deskriptiv, zum anderen geht er dem Zusammenhang der Paradigmen der Konfessionalisierung und Professionalisierung analytisch nach. Die Generations- und Lebenszyklenanalyse erweiterte dabei die bisherigen Forschungen zur evangelischen Geistlichkeit im 16. Jahrhundert.Seine Studie ist als prosopographische Untersuchung (Kollektivbiographie) konzipiert. Neben der sozialgeschichtlichen Herangehensweise spielen alltagsgeschichtliche und anthropologische Ansätze eine wichtige Rolle. Als Quellen für seine Arbeit dienten neben gedruckten Materialien zur pommerschen Geschichte vor allem Archivbestände in Greifswald (Landes-, Stadt- und Universitätsarchiv), Stralsund (Stadtarchiv) und Stettin (Archiwum Państwowe).

Seit der zweiten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts wird im politisch-gesellschaftlichen Kontext der eigentlich religios konnotierte Begriff "Versohnung" immer haufiger zur Beschreibung von Konfliktlosungsstrategien benutzt. Doch was bedeutet Versohnung bezogen auf Politik und Gesellschaft? Welche Faktoren sind relevant fur Versohnungsprozesse? Womit lassen sich Erfolge, aber auch Hindernisse und Ruckschlage auf dem Weg der Versohnung erklaren? In dem vorliegenden Band gehen internationale Forscherinnen und Forscher aus Geschichtswissenschaft, Politikwissenschaft, Soziologie und Theologie diesen Fragen nach. In ihren Beitragen wird Versohnung auf zwei Ebenen reflektiert. Auf der ersten Ebene handelt es sich um ubergreifende Analysen von Faktoren, die Versohnungsprozesse beeinflussen. Auf der zweiten Ebene werden bestimmte Aspekte von Versohnungsprozessen an einschlagigen Fallbeispielen aus dem Kontext des deutsch-franzosischen und russisch-finnischen Verhaltnisses, des ehemaligen Jugoslawiens, Sud- und Nordkorea, der DDR und Sudafrika veranschaulicht.Alle Beitrage machen deutlich, dass, obwohl unterschiedlichen Versohnungsprozessen bestimmte Elemente gemeinsam sind, Versohnung als ein sich dynamisch wandelnder, immer kontextgebundener Aushandlungsprozess erscheint, der multilateral von Akteuren aus Kirchen, Politik und Gesellschaft getragen wird.

The Trinity of Trauma: Ignorance, Fragility, and Control is structured as a trilogy. This book includes the first two parts: Volume I, The Evolving Concept of Trauma, and Volume II, The Concept and Facts of Dissociation in Trauma, which are predominantly conceptual, theoretical, and empirical in nature.Volume I aims to overcome conceptual flaws that have plagued the trauma field to date. It proposes new definitions of trauma and derivative concepts as well as a dimension of trauma-related disorders. It suggests that individuals and their environment constitute, depend on, and are relative to each other. Volume I unites two groups of trauma-related disorders that were previously contrasted in psychiatric history under various names such as melancholia versus hysteria, traumatic neurosis versus traumatic hysteria, and posttraumatic stress disorder versus dissociative disorders. It also mends the dissociation of dissociative and conversion disorders.Volume II analyzes and defines the concepts of personality, self, dissociation in trauma, and dissociative parts. It explores and documents the biopsychosocial features of different prototypical dissociative parts in traumatized individuals. Important features of these parts also characterize other players in traumatization, stretching from perpetrators to society at large.
