Although Antiquity itself has been intensively researched, together with its reception, to date this has largely happened in a compartmentalized fashion. This series presents for the first time an interdisciplinary contextualization of the productive acquisitions and transformations of the arts and sciences of Antiquity in the slow process of the European societies constructing a scientific system and their own cultural identity, a process which started in the Middle Ages and has continued up to the Modern Age.

"Medieval thinkers were convinced that they themselves were still citizens of the empire, which had been founded by Augustus." This book is devoted to substantiate this claim of William Heckscher. It does so by tracing Antiquity's afterlife in various genres on the Iberian Peninsula. The book is a manifest for a special transformation and, moreover, continuation of antiquity in the so-called Middle Ages in Spain, going against the commonly held view that only the European Renaissance did justice to and came to the rescue of Antiquity. It describes how the Visigoths preserved classical...

The 12 interdisciplinary essays in this volume investigate the role of the imagination in the rise of modernity during the process of antiquity s transformation. Two essential connections between imagination and transformation form the basis of inquiry. While it is possible to read today s understanding of imagination as the outcome of a transformation of antiquity, imagination also represents a key force in fueling the transformation process.

What role do rulers play in historical texts and what determines the way they are portrayed? More fundamentally, what qualifies a text as a work of history, and what functions do such writings have with regard to rulers? This volume explores these themes, considering the national or regional, personal, discursive, and generic parameters that influenced the writing of history and the way rulers were depicted in humanist texts.

In its analysis of German Roman tragedy, the study examines a genre now largely forgotten but once extremely popular in the German-speaking world from 1800 to 1900. Considering its functional transformations through time, Roman tragedy can be viewed not only as a theatrically effective mass spectacle but also with regard to its scholarly interplay with humanistic learning and its use as a medium for political reflection.
