The present study shed some light on the socalled Türkenbüchlein (The Turks Booklet) by analyzing, in what extent, a literary work on the history, culture, and religion of the Turks a widely disseminated book in the 15th century, belonging to Georg from Hungary (also “Der Ungenannte Mühlbächer,” “Rumeser Student,” Captivus Septemcastrensis, c. 1422–3 July 1502), is still worth reading. Undoubtedly, it would be necessary to investigate what made the book so popular in the past and what could make it a bestseller today. The article reveals the story of the book`s creation and success, as well as, the multifaceted personality of the main character.
Mit Petrarcas literarischem Œuvre wird gemeinhin das Einsetzen einer spezifisch frühneuzeitlichen Konzeption selbstautorisierter Autorschaft verbunden, in der in Übereinstimmung mit Selbstaussagen einer über das Gesamtwerk hinweg konstruierten Autor-Persona ein zentrales Distinktionsmerkmal der Literatur der beginnenden Frühen Neuzeit gegenüber dem Mittelalter ausgemacht wird. Anhand des Dialogs "Secretum" versucht der Aufsatz aufzuzeigen, in welches Verhältnis sich Selbstautorisierung zu als vergangen inszenierten Denkmodellen setzt, die durch die Annahme eines zeichentheoretischen Analogismus fundiert sind, wie ihn Foucault beschreibt. Das Petrarkische Spiel mit 'auctoritas' und Zeichentheorie verdeutlicht dabei, wie sehr die vermeintlich getrennten Modelle des Vergangenen und des Neuen voneinander abhängen, um die komplexen Ermöglichungsstrukturen dargestellter Subjektivität zu gewährleisten, auf die eine klare Teleologie Mittelalter-Renaissance den Blick versperren könnte.
This chapter explores medieval exegetical and affective characterizations of the birthplace of Christ. It focuses in particular on evocations of this birthplace as an exposed, liminal location and argues that the radical exposure endured by Christ at the moment of his birth was crucial to medieval understandings of the significance of the Incarnation. But it also points out that its condition of openness is always in a dialectical relationship with its capacity to enclose and protect.
From opening books to read them, through the continuous effort at opening one's heart to God, to the eventual disclosure of God's mysteries to human beings, Augustine seems to trace an implicit conceptualization of openness in his "Confessions". The words of Matthew 7. 7–8 underlie Augustine's engagement with openness up to the very last sentence of the book, which ends with a sequence of verbs in the passive voice that culminates with the desired manifestation of the divine. The entire endeavour of opening oneself up undertaken in the "Confessions" aims at this final passive openness, which is (always) yet to come as much as human opera are (always) yet to come to completion.
