Published: April 2022

O envelhecimento populacional caracteriza-se por um importante acontecimento nesse século no cenário mundial, impactando nos serviços de saúde. Evidencia-se, de forma acelerada, a transição demográfica atrelada à transição epidemiológica que impulsiona a necessidade de compreender esses fatos e desenvolver ações voltadas á assistência de saúde da população idosa. Os principais impactos da longevidade associados aos avanços científicos e tecnológicos proporcionam à pessoa idosa a manutenção da prática sexual. A sexualidade da pessoa idosa ainda é negligenciada por muitos serviços e equipes de saúde, ancorados em tabus e mitos que consideram esse segmento populacional como um grupo assexuado nessa fase da vida. As infecções sexualmente transmissíveis veem crescendo entre a população idosa, em especial o HIV, sífilis e as hepatites virais. Esse aumento na prevalência dessas infecções na população idosa está associado a fatores sócios culturais. Torna-se necessário conhecer e estratificar os fatores associados às infecções sexualmente transmissíveis na população idosa, para elaborar ações de educação em saúde com enfoque na prevenção e na elaboração das políticas públicas.  Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi contemplar estudos sobre esse tema no Brasil e na Argentina, através da realização de uma revisão de literatura. Os resultados mostram que é necessário inserir a pessoa idosa nas campanhas educativas de prevenção sobre as ISTs, com a finalidade de direcionar ações que possam levar a uma maior conscientização desta população. Novos estudos que tratem sobre esse assunto são imprescindíveis no subsídio de políticas públicas que possam atender a demanda da sexualidade e das infecções sexualmente transmitidas em idosos.
Down Regulation of Chemerin and Resistin in Type II Diabetic Rats Treated With Silver Nanoparticles Synthetized Using Eryngium thyrsoideum Boiss Extract
Authors: Poureskandar Souha Samad , Mahmoudi Fariba , Noorizadeh Ezzat , Panahi Alireza
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Diabetes is related to the higher production of inflammatory markers such as chemerin and resistin. Hypoglycemic influences of Eryngium thyrsoideum Boiss and silver nanoparticles (SNPs) have been established. The present study investigated the impacts of chemically or biologically synthesized SNPs using E. thyrsoideum extract on chemerin and resistin gene expressions in type II diabetic rats. Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats weighing 180-200 g were used. Type 2 diabetes was induced by nicotinamide and streptozotocin. Saline and 2.5 mg/kg chemically or biologically synthesized SNPs were injected to diabetic rats for two weeks. Five healthy rats received saline for two weeks. One day after the last injection, fasting blood samples were collected. Mean serum concentrations of glucose, creatinine, urea, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured by spectrophotometry. The gene expression of chemerin and resistin was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Mean serum concentrations of glucose, urea, ALT, AST, and mean relative gene expression of chemerin and resistin remarkably decreased in the diabetic group receiving SNPs prepared by either the chemical method or using Eryngium extract compared to the diabetic control group. Serum creatinine concentration did not change significantly in the control diabetic or diabetic groups receiving SNPs prepared either chemically or using the Eryngium extract. Conclusion: Chemically or green synthesized SNPs prevent liver hepatocyte damage. They reduced inflammatory factors via exerting hypoglycemic effects.
Dialogues of an Urban Population with the Presence of Solid Waste thrown in the Open Air
Authors: Alves João Batista , Contani Miguel Luiz
Published: April 2022

Solid waste treatment is an everyday, complex, and challenging issue. For this reason, it becomes a permanent research theme and generates a specific vocabulary. This study aims to clarify how an urban community deals with the domestic, organic, and non-organic waste and other undesirable or unpleasant materials in landfills, sidewalks, and streets. The research is of analytical, bibliographical, and field type, with data collected through structured and semi-structured questions, asked to people living around vacant land with large garbage dumps. The analyses are based on principles of environmental education. It becomes evident that the population copes with the phenomenon, although not adequately understanding the cycle of waste materials, their treatment, and their effects on the health. The lack of solution uses to be associated to the lack of punishment. On the other hand, the cultural habit of throwing garbage in the vicinity of the houses, is rooted in childhood.
Predicting Tourists’ Behaviour Towards Smart Tourism: The Case in Emerging Smart Destinations
Authors: Novianti Syifaa , Susanto Eko , Rafdinal Wahyu
Published: April 2022

This paper aims to investigate the tourist behaviour towards smart tourism in the case of emerging smart destinations. The extended model of theory of planned behaviour (TPB) is proposed as a tool to predict the relationship between applying smart tourism technology and tourist behaviour in selecting and visiting the destination. Using the city of Bandung, Indonesia as a case study, data was collected using a structured questionnaire from 524 domestic tourists in several emerging smart destinations. The confirmatory factor analysis was utilised to test the construct validity and reliability of the model, while Partial Least Squares (PLS) modelling was employed to assess the hypotheses developed. The results show that the extended TPB model can reasonably predict the tourist behaviour towards smart tourism, suggesting its applicability to emerging smart destinations. Smart tourism technology directly affects tourists’ attitude, subjective norms, and tourists perceived behavioural control, resulting in their travel intention. Also, their planned behaviour mediates the relationship between smart tourism technology and tourist decision in selecting and visiting destinations. Identifying predictors of tourist behaviour towards smart tourism provides a more accurate forecast of tourist demand, thereby enabling policymakers to tailor and implement a more comprehensive smart tourism planning and development

Bu çalışmada sık iş değiştirme davranışı, psikolojik güçlendirme ve örgütsel özdeşleme arasındaki ilişkiler incelenirken, bir kişilik özelliği olarak deneyime açıklığın bu ilişkideki düzenleyici rolü araştırılmıştır. İlk aşamada değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler literatür taraması ile incelenmiş ve araştırma hipotezleri oluşturulmuştur. İkinci aşamada kolayda örneklem yöntemiyle seçilen 315 beyaz yakalı çalışan üzerinde bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Üçüncü ve son aşamada ise değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler korelasyon analizleri ile incelenirken, araştırma hipotezleri düzenleyici regresyon analizleri ile test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, örgütsel özdeşleşme ve psikolojik güçlendirmenin çalışanların sık iş değiştirme davranışı üzerinde negatif ve anlamlı etkilere sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca bir kişilik özelliği olan deneyime açıklık ile sık iş değiştirme davranışı arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte deneyime açıklığın, psikolojik güçlendirme ve örgütsel özdeşleşme ile iş değiştirme davranışı arasındaki ilişkilerde düzenleyici rolünün olmadığı görülmüştür. Araştırma sonuçlarının sık iş değiştirme davranışını etkileyen bireysel ve örgütsel faktörlerinin anlaşılması açısından alan yazına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
TATARLI HÖYÜK KANDİLLERİNDE LEVANT ETKİSİ
Authors: GERÇEK Hakan
Published: April 2022

Hellenistik Dönem’de Anadolu’nun belli başlı kentlerinde ortaya çıkmaya başlayan kandillerin kısa sürede birçok merkezde görülmeye başlaması, uzmanları ticaret ya da yerel üretim konusunda çalışmaya zorlamıştır. Bunlardan biri olan Ephesos Tipi Kandiller’i yalnızca Batı Anadolu değil Levant ve Afrika, hatta Avrupa’nın içlerine kadar geniş bir alana yayılım göstermiştir. Tatarlı Höyük’ün Levant Bölgesini Batı ve İç Anadolu’ya bağlayan yollar üzerinde bulunması Anadolu, Pers ve Roma kültürlerine ait izlerin görülmesine olanak sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmada Tatarlı Höyük kazısının Hellenistik katmanlarında ortaya çıkarılmış kandillerin bir grubu ele alınmıştır. İki farklı alt grup altında toplanan bu kandillerden bazıları Levant Bölgesi kandillerinin özelliklerini göstermelerinin yanı sıra form olarak Ephesos Tipi Kandiller’ine oldukça yakındır. Diğer grup ise doğrudan Hellenistik Dönem’de Levant Bölgesinde meşhur olan kandiller grubundandır. Söz konusu kandiller Batı Anadolu ve Levant etkisinin Hellenistik Dönem’de bölgede olduğu gibi Tatarlı Höyük üzerindeki etkisini göstermektedir.
Indicators of upcoming electric breakdown in a pyroelectric accelerator
Authors: Karataev Pavel , Oleinik Andrei , Fedorov Kirill , Klenin Artemiy , Kubankin Alexander , Shchagin Alexander
Published: April 2022

This paper describes indicators that can be used to monitor the operating mode of a pyroelectric accelerator. It is shown that the ratio of the characteristic X-ray emission lines from the target and the vacuum chamber walls is very sensitive to the state of the accelerator. Also, the peak to total count rate ratio in the electron spectrum exhibits similar properties. These parameters change sharply ahead of the electric breakdown and are very sensitive to the residual gas pressure level. Monitoring these indicators during the accelerator operation provides a fine tool aiding the implementation of pyroelectric technology for stable and reliable charged particle generation and acceleration.
Mimicking of thermal spin dynamics by controlling sparsity of interactions in Ising spin computing with digital logic circuits
Authors: Yoshida Asaki , Miki Tsukasa , Shimada Moe , Yoneda Yuri , Shirakashi Jun-ichi
Published: April 2022

We introduce extraction-type majority voting logic (E-MVL) that explores the ground state of an Ising spin model. The spin dynamics of E-MVL approximately follow that of thermal spins based on the Boltzmann distribution, even though E-MVL intentionally reduces the information of the problem graph by controlling the sparsity of problem graphs to realize high-speed calculation. We solved the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass model using E-MVL and simulated annealing (SA). The probability of obtaining a solution with a 99% E-MVL accuracy is maintained at approximately 85% over the problem size, and E-MVL achieves a high accuracy compared to that of SA.

Motivation and Social Media as Drivers of Youth Entrepreneurship Programmes in Delta State, Nigeria
Authors: Guanah Jammy Seigha , Nwaebi Loveth Okowa
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences and perceptions of Delta State youth on the variables that affect their decision to become entrepreneurs, among other objectives. The basic framework of this study, which was on motivation theory, was to analyse how social media and motivation can boost youth’s participation in entrepreneurship programmes. To draw deductions and conclusions therefore, the research relied on survey research design by using a questionnaire and in-depth oral interview to collect data. This study concluded that the motivation theory has a great role to play in encouraging the youth to embrace various entrepreneurship programmes that are being offered by individuals, government, and organisation. Among the recommendations made are, that private organisations, as well as individual entrepreneurs, should train and empower, at least, one trainee or more every year; that for long-term sustainability, the Delta state government should follow up the various trained entrepreneurs to ensure they are practising what they are trained for, and given starters-pack to commence, and that the Delta state government should also support the trainees by patronising their products.

Pinholster's Hostility to Victims of Ineffective State Habeas Counsel
Authors: Utrecht Jennifer
Published: April 2022

Cullen v. Pinholster foreclosed federal courts from considering new evidence when reviewing 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d) petitions for claims previously adjudicated on the merits in state court. This decision has a particularly adverse effect on petitioners whose state habeas counsel left an incomplete or undeveloped record. This Note discusses strategies for victims of ineffective state habeas counsel to avoid the hostile mandate of Pinholster. It argues that, in light of Martinez v. Ryan’s recognition of the importance of counsel in initialreview collateral proceedings, courts should be wary of dismissing claims left un- or underdeveloped by ineffective state habeas counsel. It concludes that the course of action most consistent with the principles of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 and petitioners’ rights is to stay cases to give state courts the opportunity to further develop the record. This procedure allows petitioners to fully utilize the adversarial system and allows state courts the opportunity to correct any procedural errors. Should the state fail to allow for further record development, petitioners have a strong argument that the state procedures are systemically inadequate—a much-needed deterrent against hostility to federal claims.
Fighting Foreign-Corporate Political Access: Applying Corporate Veil-Piercing Doctrine to Domestic-Subsidiary Contributions
Authors: Rott Ryan
Published: April 2022

Campaign finance regulations limit speech. The laws preclude foreign nationals, including foreign corporations, from participating in U.S. politics via campaign contributions. The unusual characteristics of corporations, however, may allow foreign corporations to exploit a loophole in the regulatory regime. A foreign corporation may contribute to political campaigns by acquiring a domestic subsidiary and dominating it. This Note addresses how these unusual corporate behaviors enable foreign corporations to illegally corrupt the political process. This Note concludes that to close the loophole without violating the free speech rights of domestic subsidiaries, Congress should enact legislation which would apply corporate veil-piercing theory to the campaign finance system, reinforcing its legislation with qui tam provisions.
A Functional Theory of Congressional Standing
Authors: Nash Jonathan
Published: April 2022

The Supreme Court has offered scarce and inconsistent guidance on congressional standing—that is, when houses of Congress or members of Congress have Article III standing. The Court’s most recent foray into congressional standing has prompted lower courts to infuse analysis with separation-ofpowers concerns in order to erect a high standard for congressional standing. It has also invited the Department of Justice to argue that Congress lacks standing to enforce subpoenas against executive branch actors. Injury to congressional litigants should be defined by reference to Congress’s constitutional functions. Those functions include gathering relevant information, casting votes, and (even when no vote is ever cast) exercising bargaining power over the scope of legislation. Accordingly, congressional standing can extend not only to cases of actual vote nullification (as extant Supreme Court precedent suggests), but also to cases in which (1) congressional plaintiffs validly seek information from the executive branch, and (2) the limited circumstance in which the executive branch has acted so as to threaten permanent and substantial diminution in congressional bargaining power—provided that enough legislators join the suit to lay claim to the relevant institutional bargaining power.

Unheard Voices: Healing Stories of Reclamation and Rebuilding for Families of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people who have not been involved in the National Inquiry
Authors:   ,   University of Winnipeg Library, Wolfe Tammy
Published: April 2022

This work uncovers the stories of relatives who have been impacted by the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S) in Canada, who have not been involved in the National Inquiry into MMIWG2S. Utilizing Indigenous ways of knowing and Indigenous research methodologies in the form of land-based and ceremonial healing during the data collection phase was an integral aspect of this research project. The relatives’ stories focus on the actions of police in regard to the death or disappearance of their missing or murdered loved one, their collective and individual methods of healing, as well as their recommendations for policy change with regard to police actions in the cases of their loved ones. This collection of stories proposes and supports policy change for the families of MMIWG2S, through the reclamation of Indigenous ways of knowing and practicing healing in order to rebuild.
Mother Knows Best: The Empress Matilda in the Becket Controversy*
Authors: Nederman Cary J.
Published: April 2022

Abstract Matilda, the mother of King Henry II, was a formidable presence in mid-twelfth century England (and in the sprawling continental empire of which it was a part). Her father, Henry I of England, left with no legitimate male issue, arranged for his nobles to swear allegiance
to her claim to the English throne. Deprived of the crown as a result of its usurpation by her cousin Stephen of Blois, she eventually raised an army and invaded England to press her cause. After a period of fourteen years, the conflict was resolved by an agreement that Stephen would retain
the crown for the remainder of his life, after which the monarchy would be transferred to her son, Henry, which occurred in 1154. The new king would initially become close to his chancellor, Thomas Becket. But Henry’s selection of Becket to be archbishop of Canterbury would lead to a
monumental conflict between church and crown that culminated—as we all know—in the “murder in the cathedral.” For all that has been written about these myriad events, no systematic study has been undertaken of the relations (direct and indirect) between Henry II’s
mother and Becket. The paper brings together the available evidence concerning the linkages of Matilda with Becket. I examine the period of Becket’s exile from England up until Matilda’s death in 1167. In my view, surveying Becket’s world from the perspective of Matilda provides
unique insight into the volatile English ecclesiastical and secular politics during their respective lifetimes.
A War of Words Among Women: An Anonymous Bolognese Poem from 1282
Authors: Alfie Fabian
Published: April 2022

Abstract Not only do the city registers of medieval Bologna, the Memoriali Bolognesi, contain legal and economic transactions, but they also transmit poetry of the age. Across the decades, the scribes introduced poems between the transactions; over some one hundred
such poems have been preserved, many of them unica. Thus, the registers offer a glimpse into the popular entertainments of the times, providing valuable information about the culture of thirteenth-century Italy. One such poem is the ballata “Oi bona gente, oditi et endenditi”
(“Oh, good people, hear and understand”), an insulting dialogue between two women. Intended to provoke laughter, the poem traffics in traditional misogynistic stereotypes. Its two antagonists accuse one another of drunkenness, gluttony, but mostly sexual impropriety such as cuckolding
their husbands and attempting to pimp one another out to the parish priest. Through analysis of the poem, the anxieties provoked by the socio-economic changes of the Italian communes come into focus. The society was in flux, and the ballata employs the traditional insults of women to
address the concerns that it raised.

Abstract: The study of metaphysics in the medieval era most often evokes figures like thirteenth and fourteenth centuries luminaries such as Thomas Aquinas, William Ockham, or Duns Scotus. But even before that time, an important meeting of Western philosophy with Arabic ideology
established an early attempt to systematize Latin metaphysics. Such a project was enhanced by a team of translators working principally in peaceful Toledo, Spain, in the mid-twelfth century. The focus of the work to hand regarding the renewal of Latin metaphysics is on a groundbreaking figure
in this dizzying and far-reaching context, one Dominicus Gundissalinus, at once a reconciler and synthesizer of a stream of thought traceable to Plato and Boethius.

Published: April 2022

Abstract: Wie bereits der Titel andeutet, die Spannung zwischen dem heroischen Protagonisten und dem Verbrecher, zwischen dem verehrten Helden und dem verabscheuten Kriminellen liege so manchen Heldenepen des Mittelalters und anderen Werken der Neuzeit zugrunde. In ihrer
2017 in Göttingen eingereichten Dissertation bemüht sich Katharina Prinz darum, das Element der Ambivalenz in der Bewertung von heldenhaften Figuren in der deutschen Literatur des Mittelalters (Nibelungenlied) und der Klassik (Schiller, Verbrecher aus verlorener Ehre,
s. dazu eine Reihe seiner theoretischen Schriften, und auch Hegel) ins Zentrum ihrer Betrachtungen zu stellen. Dass Siegfried eine eher seltsame Gestalt ausmacht, die zwar physisch alle anderen überragt, aber ansonsten nicht viel davon begreift, was mit ihm geschieht, ist aber in der
Forschung längst kritisch beurteilt worden, was Prinz leider gänzlich unbekannt geblieben ist (A. Classen, “Das heroische Element im Nibelungenlied - Ideal oder Fluch?,” Ir sult sprechen willekomen. Grenzenlose Mediävistik. Festschrift für Helmut Birkhan

295-14). Vielleicht liegt das daran, dass die junge Generation an Mediävisten an deutschsprachigen Universitäten nur noch für ein deutschsprachiges Publikum schreibt und alles andere schlicht ignoriert, um irgendwie eigene Positionen zu beziehen. Warum sie aber dann englischsprachige
Untertitel wie “ethical criticism” benutzt (36), bleibt unerfindlich. Sollte sich eine Germanistin denn nicht mehr auf Deutsch ausdrücken können?

Published: April 2022

Abstract: St. Elizabeth of Hungary (1207‐1231), no less than her prototype St. Francis of Assisi, was an epoch-making spiritual figure who also served as a catalyst for the turn of the early modern era in the western visual arts. Unlike St. Francis, however, St. Elizabeth
‐ as princess, wife, widow, and hospital sister engaged in hands-on care for the poor ‐ is under-recognized as a driver of artistic expression, especially in English-language scholarship. This relative silence is likely due to the location of the earliest and possibly most remarkable
survivals from her complicated legacy in art: the Elizabeth Church in Marburg, Germany, and a range of works originating in historic Bohemia, even more a cultural terra incognita to the west.

Abstract: There is a lot to like in these two tomes, a fair amount to critique as well. The first, hitting nearly one thousand words, is the less approachable of the two. With its 100-page introduction, the volume does leave one breathless and exhausted, if not somewhat confused.
First up, to hand we have not only a translation and allegorization of Ovid’s classic, but also a reading that the late medieval commentators have left us ‐ dating from ca. 1270. This commentary on the first five books of Vat. Lat. 1479 provides precious access to how Ovid’s
work was understood at the time, and interpreted with linguistic, mythological, scientific, and moral glosses. The introduction covers early matters, such as the synthesizing fourth-century Narrationes, but after a Platonic phase, real interest in the Metamorphoses began in earnest
during the famous aetas ovidiana. As well, given the creation myth that opens the work, it became quickly assimilated to the Bible, with the poet absorbed into an Ovidius ethicus, theologus, et philologus.

Abstract: Lange haben wir auf eine solide Ausgabe von Hieronymus Münzers berühmtem Itinerarium warten müssen, die nicht nur die Spanienreise berücksichtigt, sondern das komplette Werk zur Verfügung stellt. Dies ist nun nach Jahrzehnten unter
der Leitung von Klaus Herbers endlich gelungen, der im Apparat unterhalb des eigentlichen Textes ausgiebig sachliche Erklärungen bietet und gelegentlich auch auf spezielle Bedingungen in der Handschrift aufmerksam macht.
Alexandra Kaar, Wirtschaft, Krieg und Seelenheil: Papst Martin V., Kaiser Sigismund und das Handelsverbot gegen die Hussiten in Böhmen. Beihefte zu J.F. Böhmer, Regesta Imperii, 46. Vienna: Böhlau Verlag, 2020, 387 pp.
Authors: Vanides Aaron
Published: April 2022

Abstract: In this thought-provoking study, Alexandra Kaar assembles an impressive dossier of diplomatic and other archival sources mentioning economic activity between Hussites and non-Hussites (referred to throughout as Catholics) to understand better the political and cultural
dynamics of trade restrictions in the later Middle Ages. Not a work of economic history in a traditional sense, her story spans some sixteen years, beginning in 1420 with Pope Martin V’s call to crusade against the Bohemian dissidents and ending around 1436, when the compacts were reached
in the Moravian city of Jihlava. Kaar’s main argument is that the embargo practices of the papacy and the empire against the Hussites took many different forms. These corresponded in turn to a vast array of strategic ends, not all of which necessarily had anything to do with moveable
goods. To be sure, wares of all types feature heavily in the sources. But those wares, the author argues, are better understood as part of a larger cultural and political discourse that drew on the language of economics and trade. To what degree and in what form could one interact with those
identified as Hussites, and who was responsible for articulating and regulating those strictures?
William Langland, Piers Plowman: The A Version. A New Translation with Introduction and Notes by Michael Calabrese. Washington, DC: The Catholic University of America Press, 2020, xlvii, 160 pp.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Abstract: One of the main criteria to determine the true status and quality of a literary work easily proves to be the number of translations into various languages. Of course, there are also some literary masterpieces both in the past and the present which remain in the
shadow of public awareness, tend to be forgotten, or are simply not understood. But when a work like William Langland’s Piers Plowman attracts ever new editors and translators, we can be certain that it is determined by considerable meaningfulness and relevance. Piers is a wanderer
in dream visions, and thus could easily be compared with the pilgrim Dante Alighieri in the Divina Commedia or Guillaume de Deguiville in his Le Pèlerinage de la Vie Humaine. As the translator Michael Calabrese beautifully formulates in the introduction, “The poem
asks eternal questions that pertain not only to Christians but to all communities. Readers of different world faiths, or no faith at all, will engage with its ethical challenges” (xvii).
A Replique to a Review in Vol. 33
Authors: Boyle Elizabeth
Published: April 2022

I write in response to the review by Andrew Breeze published in Mediaevistik 33 (2020) of The Chronicles of Medieval Wales and the March, ed. Ben Guy, Georgia Henley, Owain Wyn Jones, and Rebecca Thomas (Turnhout: Brepols, 2020). I am a member of the editorial board of
the Medieval Texts and Cultures of Northern Europe series at Brepols in which the volume was published, and I was responsible for liaising with the editors regarding the peer review process and revisions arising from both the external reader’s report and my own reading of the manuscript.
Given my inside perspective, from first proposal submission through to publication, on the very high standards that were upheld throughout, I feel an obligation to respond to Professor Breeze’s unfair criticism of the volume. Professor Breeze writes in his review that the chapters were
“apparently done to a high standard” (291); I can confirm that there is nothing “apparent” about it: this is scholarship of the greatest rigour. Although some of the contributors to the volume are senior, well-established figures, all four of the editors are relatively
junior scholars in the field. A critical review can have serious consequences for the careers and reputations of Early Career Researchers: this gives particular cause for concern when the basis for the negative review is largely irrelevant to the subject of the volume and is based on the idiosyncratic
interests of the reviewer himself.

Published: April 2022

Abstract: This book is dedicated to the fourteenth-century female peasant Cecilia Penifader, whose life Bennett traces through the manorial court records of Brigstock and medieval mentalities. Although certainly not the only woman to appear in these records (see the sidebar
in chapter 1), Cecilia’s activities are exceptionally well documented (16). This makes her a good case study “to approach, in an intimate way, the ordinary lives and communities of medieval peasants.” (17)

Were medieval people dirty? Averse to bathing? Oblivious to filth in their surroundings? Hostile to personal health and medical care? In general, not at all, as argued by experts from a range of disciplines across this vast and valuable collection.

The Irish are a nation of poets; they inhabit the Isle of Saints. So what Ireland’s early bards and teachers had to say on the Christian message makes a good book. In a monograph of five chapters, Dr Boyle (of NUI, Maynooth) hence tells us much, with the right combination of didactic
and lyrical.

We are certainly trying our hardest to develop transdisciplinary perspectives also in pre-modern studies. Of course, most of us are not trained enough to draw from pharmacy, mathematics, astronomy, etc., in order to understand medieval literature, for instance. But pharmacists, for
instance, also would not have a real training in reading and analyzing fictional texts. The challenge remains huge, and yet it is highly attractive and appealing for us. The contributors to the present volume try to take us one step further by investigating to what extent the latest research
on human cognition could be utilized to understand various medieval phenomena. The target audience are medieval scholars, but in most cases, the authors try their hand in neurosciences, which creates a bit of challenges because true transdisciplinarity would require closer collaboration of
at least two scholars from different fields. We also would have to raise the question why cognitive science would be the particularly appropriate research area to build bridges to medieval religion/mysticism or literature. But there is no disagreement, I think, that the study of the human
being in the historical and cultural context can be enriched with insights from modern science areas. The problem arises, however, with the fact that we have only very indirect access to people, their mind, and their creative works from the pre-modern era.
Die Historischen Grundwissenschaften heute. Tradition – Methodische Vielfalt – Neuorientierung, hrsg. von Étienne Doublier, Daniela Schulz und Dominik Trump. Köln, Weimar und Wien: Böhlau Verlag, 2021, 223 S.
Authors: Galle Christoph
Published: April 2022

Nachdem sich das ,Netzwerk Historische Grundwissenschaften’ an der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal am 7. und 8. März 2019 mit den “Grundwissenschaften im Spannungsfeld zwischen Interdisziplinarität und Profilierung” (vgl. den Tagungsbericht unter
http://www.hsozkult.de/conferencereport/id/tagungsberichte-8249) beschäftigt hatte, konnten nun neun der ursprünglich elf Vorträge in einer Publikation zugänglich gemacht werden.
Es handelt sich dabei um Beiträge, die fast ausschließlich von Mediävisten verfasst wurden und / oder aufgrund der ausgewählten Quellen das Mittelalter in seiner gesamten Breite repräsentieren. Anhand von Fallbeispielen findet darin jeweils eine Auseinandersetzung
mit einer bestimmten Historischen Hilfswissenschaft statt. Nach Auskunft der Herausgeber war es das erklärte Ziel, dass die Frage nach der Sinnhaftigkeit, die historischen Grundwissenschaften “voneinander sowie von benachbarten Disziplinen und Fächern abzugrenzen” (22),
das verbindende Merkmal der versammelten Beiträge darstelle, so dass man “eine Reflexion über das Wesen, das Profil und die Identität des Faches insgesamt sowie der dazugehörenden Einzeldisziplinen anregen” (14) könnte.
Christopher M. Flavin, Constructions of Feminine Identity in the Catholic Tradition: Inventing Women. Studies in Medieval Literature. London and New York: Lexington Books, 2020, pp. 193.
Authors: Beal Jane
Published: April 2022

Christopher M. Flavin, Associate Professor of English at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma, has written a study of medieval women’s writings, emphasizing that they are firmly grounded in medieval Catholic culture. As indicated in his introduction, Flavin sees his work
in relation to Constant Mews’ Listen, Daughter: The Speculum Virginum and the Formation of Religious Women in the Middle Ages (2002), the edited collection Virtue Ethics for Women 1250-1500 (2011), and Elizabeth Mégier’s Scripture and History in the Middle
Ages / Schriftsinn und Geschichte im Mittelalter (2018). While some medievalist feminist scholars have been devoted to recuperating a tradition of women’s writing, Flavin seeks to recuperate the value of these women’s religiosity, community, and partnerships with men in producing
the literary legacies that have come down to us.
Frauen │ Lyrik: Gedichte in deutscher Sprache, hrsg. von Anna Bers. Stuttgart: Philipp Reclam jun., 2020, 879 S.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Diese umfangreiche neue Anthologie strebt an, die Rolle der Frau in der Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Lyrik zu präsentieren, was nicht bedeutet, dass es speziell darum geht, die Werke von Dichterinnen vorzustellen, auch wenn der Buchtitel dies anzudeuten scheint. Anna Bers hat
hier mehr als 500 Gedichte vom frühen Mittelalter bis zur jüngsten Gegenwart zusammengestellt, die sie unkommentiert nach einem relativ vagen chronologischen Gerüst abdruckt, wobei sie vier thematische Schwerpunkte hervorhebt, die aber nicht im Inhaltsverzeichnis markiert sind,
sondern nur in der Einleitung und im Anhang angesprochen werden. Zuerst geht es um Gedichte, die bereits im Kanon enthalten sind, was an sich sehr problematisch wirkt, dann um solche, die spezielle von Frauen verfasst wurden, ebenfalls ein komplexes Thema, das hier einfach über einen
Kamm geschert wird. In der dritten Gruppe geht es um die Emanzipation von Frauen, und in der letzten um solche Texte, in denen ein weibliches Ich sich zu Wort meldet. Man sucht aber vergeblich nach den Abschnitten selbst und muss sich dafür mit einem recht mysteriösen Punktsystem
zufrieden geben, wonach jedes einzelne Gedicht mit einer entsprechenden Markierung einsetzt, die durch Fett- oder Schwachdruck – der Unterschied ist kaum wahrzunehmen – festgelegt ist. Zum Glück finden sich im Anhang Listen der einzelnen Gedichte nach Thema geordnet, so will
man meinen. Es existieren hier also keine echten Gruppen. In der ersten Kategorie jedoch sind sie weder alphabetisch noch chronologisch geordnet, sondern nach der Anzahl der Fundstellen, was ich etwas mysteriös finde. In der zweiten Kategorie kommt die Alphabetisierung zur Anwendung,
aber nur bezogen auf die Titel. Das Gleiche ist dann der Fall in der dritten und vierten Kategorie. Blättert man jedoch etwas zurück, entdeckt man ein alphabetisches Register der Namen, was freilich dann alle Texte unterschlägt, die anonym überliefert sind. Sucht man weiter
rückwärtsgehend, entdeckt man dann das Gesamtregister nach Titeln und Gedichtanfängen, das aber strikt so nach dem ersten Buchstaben geordnet ist, dass auch die Artikel der, die das das bestimmend sind.
