As yet, a good German translation does not exist of this pivotal work, nor is an introduction available whichexplains the central topics in a comprehensible yet authoritative manner. This gap is filled by the present work which uses key themes from Thomasian philosophy (and theology) to provide an introduction to the overall conception of the Summa theologiae.

The review of the present state of research on the Summa theologiae provides a comprehensive handbook particularly suited for university teaching. It is designed not only for the specialist reader but equally for...

Dieser Band wirft ein neues Licht auf Byzanz - als geographischen, aber vor allem als kulturellen Knotenpunkt. Denn wie kaum eine andere Region ist Byzantium uber gut ein Jahrtausend durch seine ebenso zentrale wie fragile geographische Lage, aber auch durch sein Prestige wichtigfur die Begegnung von Kulturen, Personen und Institutionen rund um das Mittelmeer. Hierbei stellt sich aus byzantinischer Perspektive die "antike" und "mittelalterliche" Welt als ein in wesentlichen Zugen kontinuierlicher Kulturraum dar, der bis an die Schwelle der Neuzeit reicht und sich vor allem durch seine groe...

This volume examines how the notion of law was transformed and reformulated during the Middle Ages. It focuses on encounters between ancient and local legal traditions and the three great revelation religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each of which understood the written word of God as law and formulated new cultures. The work thus furnishes interdisciplinary and intercultural insight into medieval legal discourse.

Meister Eckhart spent some twenty years in the Dominican convent in Erfurt, first as prior and then as first provincial of the order's province of Saxonia.

The present volume addresses the need for more research into Eckhart's time in Erfurt. The 27 papers address the most important trends in recent...

Dass die arabischsprachige Kultur, insbesondere die arabischsprachige Wissenschaft, auf das lateinische Mittelalter in vielfacher Hinsicht Einfluss genommen hat, gilt in der heutigen Mediavistik als unbestreitbare Tatsache. Die Bedingungen, Hintergrunde und Begleitumstande dieses 'Kulturaustausches' bedurfen jedoch noch einer genauen Erforschung. Dies unternimmt der vorliegende Band in 44 Einzeldarstellungen aus unterschiedlichen Fachbereichen.
