Softcover. Condition: neu. 1. Auflage. - in englischer Sprache - Schriften zur Kulturgeschichte, Band 63 116 pages. Das Buch präsentiert Erkenntnisse zur mittelalterlichen und frühneuzeitlichen lateinischen Inschriftenkultur aus dem Gebiet der heutigen Slowakei. Die Autoren zeigen den multidisziplinären Charakter der Epigraphik, der nicht nur für die Geschichtsforschung als solche äuÃerst relevant ist. Die Epigraphik ist für die Kunstgeschichte von groÃer Bedeutung, da es sich bei den mit Inschriften versehenen Objekten sehr oft sowohl um immaterielle als auch um materielle Artefakte handelt. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass viele Inschriften mit sakralen Denkmälern und Architektur in Verbindung gebracht werden, hilft ihre Untersuchung Kirchenhistorikern, Religionswissenschaftlern und Theologen. In Quantität und Qualität dominieren die Inschriften auf verschiedenen Grabdenkmälern. Solche Texte sind aufgrund ihrer genealogischen und prosopografischen Dimension sehr nützlich. Und es gibt Texte literarischer Natur, die für Literaturhistoriker von Interesse sind.

Softcover. Condition: neu. 1. Auflage. Schriften zur Kulturgeschichte, Band 68 122 pages. This scholarly monograph presents a new perspective on the study of Latin inscriptions in Slovakia. Inscriptions are inseparable from the objects that bear them-whether monumental architecture, funerary monuments, or small everyday artefacts-and therefore preserve unique connections between text, material, and historical context. The publication highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between historians, epigraphers, and restorers. Modern restoration techniques and careful cleaning methods have recently revealed authentic inscription layers that remained hidden for centuries, significantly expanding our knowledge of epigraphic heritage. The book also explores the historical development of inscription culture, from the limited use of written texts in the medieval period to the remarkable growth of inscriptions during the Renaissance, Humanism, and the Reformation. In these periods, inscriptions evolved from traditional liturgical formulas into expressive elements of decoration, featuring classical maxims, humanistic poetry, and quotations reflecting the intellectual and religious debates of the time. Drawing on newly discovered material, the monograph demonstrates the exceptional value of inscriptions for research in cultural history, genealogy, linguistics, and the history of everyday life. Gravestones, epitaphs, and commemorative texts reveal information about individuals, family networks, education, and social mobility, while also documenting local events such as fires, epidemics, and economic changes. By integrating new epigraphic findings into the broader Central European context, this publication offers an important contribution to the understanding of historical memory, literacy, and cultural identity in the region.

Softcover. Condition: neu. 1. Auflage. - in englischer Sprache - THEOS - Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse, Band 136 384 pages. The book attempts to find the connection between Pannenberg"s theology and the tradition-historical context on which it is based. Scripture bears witness to different ideas concerning life and death. These notions have been modified and undergone changes throughout history. Thus, the idea that the life is fulfilled on the earth in the fellowship with God changed into the hope for a life fulfilled beyond the boundaries of death, in the world to come. The eschatological message of the Old Testament prophets changed into the apocalyptic ideas of the seers in Palestinian Judaism, which influenced the way of thinking of the early Church. But, the questions arise: Are these ideas of passed times still important for the believers today? To what extent can the message of eschatology address modern audience in the twenty-first century? Pannenberg presents the possible way of connecting the past and the present when arguing for the final unity and present anticipation of consummation of God"s plans in the future. The participation in God"s eternity, or as the Old Testament prophets proclaim - never ceasing community with God - is the aim as well as the goal of all creatures and of creation even nowadays.
