Ermolao Barbaro's on Celibacy 1 and 2
This volume offers the first annotated English translation of the first two books of On Celibacy(1473) by the eminent Venetian humanist Ermolao Barbaro (1454-93); Books 3 and 4 of On Celibacy are presented, along with Barbaro's On the Duty of the Ambassador, in the companion piece to this first volume. Setting out the historical context that crucially conditions Barbaro's advocacy of the celibate life in Books 1 and 2, the introduction examines how On Celibacyseeks to justify a contemplative existence that rejects the career path expected of a figure of Barbaro's standing within the Venetian patrician class. Beyond setting out the essential facts of Ermolao Barbaro's life-story, Gareth Williams discusses how On Celibacy is set in counterpoise to the treatise On Marriage (1415) that was composed by Ermolao's eminent grandfather, Francesco Barbaro. If the latter's treatise was vitally concerned with the institution of marriage as a key factor in the safeguarding of family succession and the stability of patriciate participation in government at Venice, On Celibacy presents an alternative ideal whereby the celibate can proudly renounce civic life in the name of self-discovery and the pursuit of wisdom, his abilities simply unsuited to the rigors of civic life. On Celibacyis thus implicated in a much wider 15th-century debate about the claims of the contemplative as opposed to the active life - a debate that extends all the way back to Graeco-Roman antiquity.
Baroque Latinity
This volume addresses the idea of the Baroque in European literature in Latin. With contributions by scholars from various disciplines and countries, and by looking at a range of texts from across Europe, the volume offers case studies to deepen scholarly understanding of this important literary phenomenon and inspire future research. A key aim of the volume is to address the distinctiveness of these texts by interrogating the usefulness and specificity of the term 'Baroque', especially in relation to the classical rules it transgresses to produce effects of grandeur, richness, and exuberance in a range of secular and sacred arts (e.g. music, architecture, painting), as well as various forms of literature (e.g. prose, poetry, drama). The contributors consider how and why Latin writing mutated from earlier humanist paradigms, thus exploring how ideas of 'early modern' and 'Baroque' are related, and examine the interplay of the theory and practice of the 'Baroque', including its debts to and deviations from ancient models, and its limits and limitations.
Ermolao Barbaro's on Celibacy 3 and 4 and on the Duty of the Ambassador
This book offers the first annotated translation into English of two works of the eminent Venetian humanist, Ermolao Barbaro (1454-93). Books 3 and 4 of On Celibacy seek to justify a contemplative existence at a far remove from the active life and career-path expected of a figure of Barbaro's standing within the Venetian patriciate; Books 1 and 2 of On Celibacy are presented in the companion-piece to this second volume. The second work presented here is Barbaro's short treatise On the Duty of Ambassador (1488): based on Barbaro's own practical experience as a Venetian envoy abroad, this treatise outlines the conduct expected of the dedicated career diplomat. Viewed against each other, Barbaro's On Celibacy and On the Duty of the Ambassador offer contrasting perspectives on the wider 15th-century debate about the claims of the reflective as opposed to the active life - a debate that extends all the way back to Greco-Roman antiquity. In On Celibacy the young Barbaro is committed to a life that proudly renounces civic engagement in the name of self-discovery and inner fulfilment. Yet a different Barbaro asserts himself in On the Duty of the Ambassador: he now presents himself as a committed public servant in a work that is ahead if its time in theorizing the nature of 'modern' Renaissance diplomacy. On a personal level, these two works capture the profound dichotomy in Barbaro's life between his humanist devotion to scholarship on the one hand and, on the other, his call of duty to the Republic of Venice.

Roger Ascham's Themata Theologica
Roger Ascham is often classified as 'a great mid-Tudor humanist' and he is perhaps best known for his role as tutor to Elizabeth I. His most famous works, The Scholemaster and Toxophilus, have been extensively quarried and anthologised in studies on prose style and English humanism. By contrast, his Neo-Latin works that engaged with theology and key Reformation concerns have languished in the shadows of modern scholarship. Ascham's Themata Theologica('Theological Topics') is one of these, and its content has the potential to open up many an investigative avenue into the intellectual and religious culture of the sixteenth century. This is the first volume to offer a corresponding English translation. The Themata can be dated to the early to mid- 1540s, and was composed by Ascham while still at Cambridge University and serving as a senior fellow at St John's College. The work mainly comprises a compendium of relatively short commentaries on Scriptural verses (both Old and New Testament), many of which developed into expositions on difficult philosophical concepts, such as the notion of felix culpa(literally, 'happy fault') and some of the most intractable theological questions of the day, including the nature of sin, adiaphora ('matters of indifference'), justification and free will. This little-known text offers a rare opportunity to trace the course of Ascham's own religious maturation, but also offers fresh insights into the confessional climate at Cambridge University during one of the most turbulent periods of the Reformation in England.
G繹tz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand
G繹tz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand ist ein Schauspiel in f羹nf Aufz羹gen von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Das St羹ck gilt als das bekannteste Werk des Sturm und Drang. Als Vorbild der Hauptfigur galt der fr瓣nkisch-schw瓣bische Reichsritter Gottfried "G繹tz" von Berlichingen zu Hornberg (genannt "mit der Eisernen Hand"). G繹tz entstammt der mittelalterlichen Welt des Faust- und Fehderechts, agiert aber auch St瓣nde 羹bergreifend, indem er den Bauern hilft. Mit seiner Figur st繹?t das auf gewachsenem Naturrecht und Treue gegr羹ndete freie Rittertum auf die dem abstrakten r繹mischen Recht verpflichtete Welt des intriganten Adels. Goethes G繹tz beweist zwar einen die historischen Konventionen 羹berwindenden Charakter, seine auf individueller Unabh瓣ngigkeit einerseits und pers繹nlicher Loyalit瓣t andererseits basierende Utopie einer idealen Monarchie lassen ihn jedoch in Konflikt mit der gerade entstehenden b羹rgerlichen Gesellschaft geraten. So k瓣mpft G繹tz von vornherein auf verlorenem Posten. Resigniert muss er letztlich feststellen: Freiheit gibt es nur im Jenseits, die Welt aber ist ein Gef瓣ngnis.
Der einsame Weg
Das St羹ck spielt um 1900 in Wien. Nach Jahren begegnet der Maler Julian Fichtner wieder Gabriele. Einst hatte er sie verf羹hrt und verlassen, um seine Freiheit als K羹nstler nicht aufzugeben. Sie hat den Akademieprofessor Wegrat geheiratet, hat inzwischen in Felix und Johanna zwei erwachsene Kinder. Keiner ahnt, dass Felix in Wahrheit Julians Sohn ist. Gabriele, die todkrank ist und wei?, dass sie nicht mehr lange zu leben hat, offenbart den Kindern die Wahrheit. Julian hofft, f羹r Felix eine Vaterfigur sein zu k繹nnen, aber dieser bekennt sich zu Wegrat, dem falschen Vater und echten Menschen. Johanna indessen sperrt sich gegen die Zukunft, die ihre Mutter f羹r sie vorbereitet - sie verlobt sich nicht mit dem jungen Arzt Reumann, sondern liebt Herrn von Sala, einen alten Freund der Familie, den sie schon von Kindheit an kennt. Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) war ein 繹sterreichischer Erz瓣hler und Dramatiker. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Wiener Moderne.

A Grammatical Sketch of Cua
Cua is a Kalahari Khoe language spoken in southeastern Botswana (Kweneng District). It is closely related to languages such as Gana, Tshila and Tsua. The phonology chapter describes the consonant, tone and vowel inventories, as well as a system of depressed tones following aspirated and voiced consonants. Later chapters provide concise overviews of the morphology and syntax of the language. Cua is characterized by a complex system of person-gender-number markers (PGN markers), which play a role in the formation of the pronouns. The features defining pronouns include: singular, dual, and plural number; first, second, and third person; and masculine, feminine and neutral gender. There is also a distinction between inclusive and exclusive first-person plural pronouns.

The Latin Verse of Martin Luther
Martin Luther wrote a number of Latin poems, mostly using traditional classical metres, over the course of his career. He used them to praise friends, insult adversaries and express his faith in times of distress. Up until now, Luther's Neo-Latin poetry has largely fallen through the disciplinary cracks. Literary scholars have traditionally paid more attention to the Latin verse of more celebrated humanist poets such as Petrarch. Students of the Reformation have concentrated far more often on Luther's prose and his famous German hymns than on his Latin poems. Even scholars who are familiar with Luther's Neo-Latin poetry have dismissed it as of only marginal significance. As this book demonstrates, Luther's Latin verses are valuable cultural products that amply reward scholarly reconsideration. Springer's volume is the first to provide English translations of all of them. It also includes extensive introductions and line-by-line annotations for each of the poems, situating them within their literary traditions and contemporary contexts. As such, it enables readers to see that far from being a reformer who more or less repudiated the Classics, or someone who merely dabbled in them, Luther was a confident, even bold, Latin poet, who was serious about working out his own distinctive synthesis between Christianity and the language and literature of the ancient Romans.
German Phonology
Drawing on an optimality-theoretic framework, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the phonology of German, with its idiosyncratic array of sound patterns. It starts with the consonants and vowels and the distinctive features they consist of, moving on to account for allophonic changes in detail, as well as syllables and their weight units. Phonological processes are then explored in depth, with chapter-length explorations of feet, prosodic words, prosodic phrases, and intonation phrases, showing that the prosodic hierarchy provides the domains of most phonological processes. It also includes discussions of the interfaces of morphology and syntax with phonology, as well as prosodic phrasing and intonation. The constraint-based approach allows a new holistic perspective, simultaneously encompassing all aspects of German phonology. Wide-ranging yet accessible, it is essential reading for advanced students of both linguistics and German, as well as individual scholars seeking a one-stop resource on the topic.
