Erstmals seit ihrem Erscheinen 1778-80 und 1791 werden hier die Feengeschichten Klingers wieder vorgelegt. Enthalten sind Orpheus, eine Tragisch-Komische Geschichte und Bambino's sentimentalisch-politische, comisch-tragische Geschichte. Der Text der beiden Fassungen ist weithin identisch. Da innerhalb des Apparates der Seitenwechsel verzeichnet ist, kann der Leser sich darin wie im Originaldruck zurechtfinden.

The double volume makes autograph works of the poet Sigmund von Birken (1626-1681) accessible for the first time. The texts are part of the devotional literature of the Early Modern Era, and reveal the medial and thematic diversity of this genre in greater detail than ever before. The apparatus and commentary document text-critical information, elucidate historical places mentioned in the text, Biblical references, and the theological approach.

The Handbook of Greek Sculpture aims to provide a detailed examination of current research and directions in the field. Bringing together an international cast of contributors from Greece, Italy, France, Great Britain, Germany, and the United States, the volume incorporates new areas of research, such as the sculptures of Messene and Macedonia, sculpture in Roman Greece, and the contribution of Greek sculptors in Rome, as well as important aspects of Greek sculpture like techniques and patronage. The written sources (literary and epigraphical) are explored in dedicated chapters,...

In insgesamt 56 Briefen kommentiert Ernst Troeltsch zwischen Februar 1919 und November 1922 eindringlich die Zeitlage. Kritisch beobachtet er Revolution, Burgerkrieg und staatliche Neuordnung Deutschlands unter den Bedingungen der Weltpolitik und des Versailler Friedensvertrages. Alle Probleme ruckt er in einen Welthorizont . Engagiert liefert Troeltsch dem Burgertum eine Orientierung, um die demokratische Republik mit Leben zu erfullen.

Der Band ediert und kommentiert 151 geistliche Gedichte Sigmund von Birkens (1626-1681). Die Gedichte werden in den Apparaten textkritisch kommentiert, historisch verortet sowie in ihren biblischen Bezugnahmen und in ihren theologiegeschichtlichen Kontexten erschlossen. Die Edition ist mit verschiedenen Registern versehen (Verzeichnis der metrischen Formen, Titel- und Incipit-Register, Personenregister, Bibelstellenregister).

Das biographische Handbuch beinhaltet 3650 Kurzbiographien von Verwaltungs- und Justizbeamten, die zwischen 1740 und 1806/15 in den preussischen Provinzial- und Zentralbehorden tatig waren.

While the chemical aspects of igneous petrology have dominated research for many years, the physical processes associated with the generation, transport, and crystallization of magma have been somewhat neglected. Here a group of distinguished scientists, whose current research embraces both chemical and physical aspects of the field, illustrates these new directions in igneous petrology.

The Evolution of the Igneous Rocks, by N. L. Bowen, appeared in 1928 and had a profound influence on later generations of petrologists. Drawing on his series of lectures at Princeton University in the spring of 1927, Dr. Bowen identified, outlined, and applied the principles of physical chemistry relevant to petrological processes. Whereas the major petrochemical questions he discussed are still relevant today, the answers appear to change with time. The purpose of the present volume is to provide an updated view of those questions, in the light of almost fifty years of accumulated...
