Flaming as a speech conflict inciting tool in Internet-discourse
Authors: Babuk Alexander
Published: April 2022

The article analyzes flaming as a tool for a speech conflict inciting. The author backs up the idea that flaming as a mean of speech aggression appeared on the threshold of a new era due to the development of the mass media and computer-mediated communication in the Internet discourse. It is shown that flaming is actively used in combination with other forms of speech aggression in Internet discourse, such as trolling and cyberbullying. Phenomenon of «hate speech» is assigned a special role in flamewars. This term as the international legal practice shows, denotes the opposition of the subjects described in the text based on certain characteristics (race, language, religion, nationality, or belonging to any group) and inducement to violent actions that are carried out based on them. Using specific examples, the author attempts to classify flaming to reveal their strategic goals and to describe the tactics of discreditation illustrating the intent of the content creator. The work emphasizes the need to reveal the communicating tactics in the framework of forensic linguistics examination as well as deanonymization of the flaming content creators via forensic authorship examination.

Use of Community Relations in Compensation Payment Process in Estate Management Practice: A Case Study of Kwale Industrial Park Acquisition
Authors: Guanah Jammy Seigha , Guanah Paul Oyinkepreye , Dalung Rhoda
Published: April 2022

The engagement of a community in any project to be sited in it has always been recommended as the ideal step to take by government and organisations. However, bickering still ensues due to the non-diligent application of community relations, an arm of public relations, that guarantees a cordial relationship between an organisatio n/government and its host communities. Therefore, the principal intention of this conceptual study is on the relationship between Estate Management Practice and Community Relations. This study was conducted to examine what community relations activities are, and to investigate if community relations was applied in the compensation payment process in the case of Kwale Industrial Park Acquisition in Delta State, Nigeria. Persuasion theory served as the theoretical framework of the study. The researchers adopted the library research design and participant observation methods. Results indicate that community relations were partially applied in the compensation payment process. It was concluded that the Land Use Act, which prescribed the method of valuation to be used in acquisition and compensation, did not foresee the problem of gross inadequacies of compensation, and the pre-payment and post-payment disputes associated with it. The researchers, therefore, recommended, amongst others, that there should be public enlightenment from time to time to make the public understand the roles of estate surveyors and valuers, for this will, to a great extent, make the public cease patronising quacks in compensation exercises. Also, Government ministries, specifically the Ministry of Information, Ministry of Land, Surveys and Urban Development, Ministry of Housing, and other Ministries that have anything to do with communities, should have community relations department as an arm to handle community relations issues.
Iron Sucrose vs Iron Ferric Carboxymaltose-Which is better in Anemia in Pregnancy
Authors: Saini Neha , Sharma Archana
Published: April 2022

Background: Anemia during pregnancy is commonly caused by iron deficiency anemia. It can cause severe consequences for both the fetus and the mother. This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy of IV iron sucrose and IV iron ferric carboxy maltose in pregnant patients with anemia. Material and Methods: This is a prospective observational study; all women treated with iron sucrose & FCM for anemia during pregnancy between January 2021 to June 2021 at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Ganesh Hospital, Ghaziabad. Total 36 women were selected. Each study group consisted of 18 women receiving FCM which was group A and 19 in group B receiving Injection Iron Sucrose between 30 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. Treatment effectiveness was assessed by repeat Hemoglobin and Serum Ferritin level measurement after 4 weeks of completion of therapy. Safety was assessed by analysis of adverse drug reactions during infusion and 2 hours after infusion. Results: Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose infusion significantly increased Hemoglobin values compared to Intravenous ferrous sucrose. None of the women developed serious adverse reaction in FCM group whereas 3 drug reactions were noted in patients treated with Iron sucrose. Conclusion: Ferric carboxymaltose can be used safely in Iron defciency anemia complicatinin pregnancy and has shown to have better results.
Are Unions a Constitutional Anomaly?
Authors: Estlund Cynthia
Published: April 2022

This term in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Ass’n, the Supreme Court will consider whether ordinary public employees may constitutionally be required to pay an “agency fee,” as a condition of employment, to the union that represents them in collective bargaining. The Court established the terms of engagement in the 2014 decision Harris v. Quinn, which struck down an agency fee on narrower grounds while describing the current doctrine approving agency fees, blessed many times by the Court itself, as an “anomaly.” This Article asks whether labor unions are themselves anomalies in our legal system, particularly in their constitutional entitlements. Its answer is a qualified and complicated “yes.” Unions are indeed distinct in our legal system—distinct even among private entities with public regulatory functions, which have frequently provoked constitutional controversy. On the one hand, unions are voluntary associations of workers with constitutional entitlements to freedom of expression and associational autonomy. On the other hand, unions are both regulated and regulatory actors within a statutory scheme that sets them far apart from other voluntary associations. They are subject to a sui generis constellation of rights, powers, restrictions, and duties—a quid pro quo that both constrains and empowers unions, and that is embodied in the paradigmatic case that is the central focus here, in the National Labor Relations Act, the Taft-Hartley Act, and the Landrum-Griffin Act. Whatever the wisdom of that quid pro quo— and it has been criticized from both ends of the political spectrum—it provides an essential context for adjudicating constitutional claims by and against unions. This Article calls for reframing those constitutional claims to include both the quid and the quo of labor law—not only the alleged burdens that the labor laws impose on unions or individuals, but also any logically linked benefits or powers it confers on the claimant. If the alleged burden is logically linked to some corresponding benefit or power, the latter may offset or justify the former, and lower the level of constitutional scrutiny required. Rigorous attention to both the additions to and subtractions from unions’ entitlements under the labor laws, along with a cautious approach to the threshold question of state action, is necessary to preserve the residual yet fundamental autonomy interests of unions. The proposed analysis recasts not only the agency fee controversy and the related puzzle posed by state “right-to-work” laws, but also recurring challenges to the constitutionality of restrictions on union expression and recent efforts to bring “worker centers” under the umbrella of labor law. At the same time, it offers clues to the future of unions and labor law if the Court continues down the path foreshadowed in Harris.
Emergency Takings
Authors: Lee Brian
Published: April 2022

Takings law has long contained a puzzle. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires the government to pay “just compensation” to owners of private property that the government “takes.” In ordinary circumstances, this requirement applies equally whether the property is confiscated or destroyed, and it also applies to property confiscated in emergencies. Remarkably, however, courts have repeatedly held that if the government destroys property to address an emergency, then a “necessity exception” relieves the government of any obligation to compensate the owner of the property that was sacrificed for the public good. Although the roots of this startling principle stretch back for centuries, existing literature offers neither a systematic analysis of the justifications that have been offered for the principle nor a developed normative account of what the correct approach should be. This Article seeks to remedy both of these significant gaps in the current understanding of takings law. The Article identifies three pivotal but commonly overlooked distinctions and explains how they interact to provide a general theory of compensation for emergency takings. First is a distinction among different roles that compensation may play in any given situation. Second is a distinction between two different types of “necessity,” each of which has a different normative implication. Third is a distinction among amounts of compensation that might be owed. Recognizing these distinctions in turn reveals why the main justifications of the necessity exception are unpersuasive, why courts nevertheless so often have been inclined to endorse that exception, and what the correct approach to emergency takings actually is: when the need to destroy property in an emergency is accompanied by grave constraints on the ability to pay compensation, then an obligation to pay “just compensation” for the destroyed property remains, but the amount of that compensation changes. Under such circumstances, what justice requires is partial compensation.

Making Treaty Implementation More Like Statutory Implementation
Authors: Galbraith Jean
Published: April 2022

Both statutes and treaties are the “supreme law of the land,” and yet quite different practices have developed with respect to their implementation. For statutes, all three branches have embraced the development of administrative law, which allows the executive branch to translate broad statutory directives into enforceable obligations. But for treaties, there is a far more cumbersome process. Unless a treaty provision contains language that courts interpret to be directly enforceable, they will deem it to require implementing legislation from Congress. This Article explores and challenges the perplexing disparity between the administration of statutes and treaties. It shows that the conventional assumption that Congress must implement treaties that are not directly enforceable by courts stems from an unduly narrow historical perspective. Instead, largely forgotten nineteenth-century practice and cases reveal that the executive branch can implement treaties so as to make them enforceable in the courts. Drawing on this past practice, this Article argues that it is time to reconfigure the administration of treaties. In at least some circumstances, the executive branch should be able to translate treaty provisions into court-enforceable obligations in a manner comparable to the statutory context, including through rulemaking by administrative agencies. This approach is particularly desirable for multilateral regulatory treaties, which have come to play an increasingly important role in global governance.

Published: April 2022

Background: Canadian specialist residency training programs are implementing a form of competency-based medical education (CBME) that requires the assessment of entrustable professional activities (EPAs). Dashboards could be used to track the completion of EPAs to support program evaluation.
Methods: Using a design-based research process, we identified program evaluation needs related to CBME assessments and designed a dashboard containing elements (data, analytics, and visualizations) meeting these needs. We interviewed leaders from the emergency medicine program and postgraduate medical education office at the University of Saskatchewan. Two investigators thematically analyzed interview transcripts to identify program evaluation needs that were audited by two additional investigators. Identified needs were described using quotes, analytics, and visualizations.
Results: Between July 1, 2019 and April 6, 2021 we conducted 17 interviews with six participants (two program leaders and four institutional leaders). Four needs emerged as themes: tracking changes in overall assessment metrics, comparing metrics to the assessment plan, evaluating rotation performance, and engagement with the assessment metrics. We addressed these needs by presenting analytics and visualizations within a dashboard.
Conclusions: We identified program evaluation needs related to EPA assessments and designed dashboard elements to meet them. This work will inform the development of other CBME assessment dashboards designed to support program evaluation.

The survey was carried out as an effort to improve the quality of public services in accordance with PERMENPAN RB RI Number 14 of 2017 concerning Guidelines for Compiling a Satisfaction Survey Community Public Service Implementation Unit. SKM is one of the tools used by the public service unit to evaluate the performance of the services carried out by the unit, in this case the Jambi Province Investment and One Stop Service (DPMPTSP). This study uses a descriptive approach with mixed methods and research instruments, namely the distribution of online and offline questionnaires, review of documentation and observations. The population is people who have received licensing services in Jambi Province and data analysis using univariate and bivariate analysis. The survey was conducted based on Permenpan RB Number 14 of 2017 concerning Guidelines for Compiling a Community Satisfaction Survey using 9 indicators in the Likert scale interval range of 1-4. The results obtained that the average value of the Community Satisfaction Survey in the Jambi Province DPMPTSP in 2021 for the second semester period was the Very category. Good (A) with a score of 91.64. Most of the relationships between elements have been correlated, from 36 relationships there were 27 relationships or 75% had correlations while 9 (nine) relationships were not significant so they had no correlation. The priority scale for service improvement is contained in elements of systems, mechanisms, and procedures, elements of completion time, elements of implementing behavior, elements of handling complaints, suggestions and inputs, as well as elements of product specifications for types of services.
“Only for Specialist” Medical Charms: Holistic Therapy in the German Medieval and Early Modern Tradition
Authors: Benati Chiara

Abstract In this study, a corpus of almost unknown medieval and early modern healing-related charms is presented and discussed as being part of a holistic practical therapy combining conventional medical and surgical remedies with verbal formulas aimed at reinforcing the
practitioner-patient-relationship and at propitiating the good outcome of the healing process. In this respect, these texts constitute a specific category of charms specifically addressing physicians and surgeons who recited them before or during a procedure.
Favorable Criticism of Music and Lyrics in the Occitan Troubadour Vidas

Abstract An analysis of positive critical vocabulary found in the Occitan Vidas or mini- biographies of the troubadours. Of the 117 troubadours and trobairitz described in 101 Vidas and in accompanying razos, roughly three-quarter receive a positive evaluation,
though the aesthetic value of these judgments is very limited. The Vidas offer some insights into the discriminating judgments of Uc de Saint Circ and confirm negativity bias in critical descriptions.
Did Burning Mirrors Cause Body Marks on St. Francis of Assisi? : A Material View on Medieval Stigmata.
Authors: Lewy Mordechay
Published: April 2022

Abstract The present paper aims to question the textual narratives and the visual means which were employed by the Franciscans to increase the credibility of St. Francis’s stigmata. Following the doubts and skepticism which accompanied the Franciscan efforts to monopolize
the saintly status of its stigmatized founder through a Seraphic vision, an urgent need to increase credibility has emerged. The study suggests that the Florentine Giotto di Bondone and the Sienese Pietro Lorenzetti employed widely disseminated optical knowledge about burning mirrors to invent
a durable and credible iconographic formula of Francis’s stigmatization.

Authors: Rouillard Linda Marie
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Anne Rochebouet offers here a valuable edition of an important medieval French work, a prose version of one of the foundational romans d’antiquité, the story of Troy as it was contained in the Histoire ancienne jusqu’à César.
The narrative poem Le Roman de Troie, as recounted by Benoît de Sainte-Maure in the late twelfth century, inspired the prose version edited here (along with 4 other versions) in the following two centuries. The base manuscript used for this edition is ms. London, BL, Royal 20
D.I., the Histoire ancienne jusqu’à César, copied in Naples at the Angevin court, sometime between 1335‐1340 with illustrations by Cristoforo Orimina. This version, known as Prose 5, forming one part of the Histoire ancienne, circulated at least
until the sixteenth century. It exists in seventeen manuscripts described by Rochebouet in her most thorough introduction. Her linguistic analysis of ms. Royal 20 D.I. addresses the evolution of medieval French into Middle French as used in an Angevin Italian region during the reign of Robert
I.

Reisende Frauen im Mittelalter. Literarische Reflexionen europaweit, historisch belegte Reisende (Margery Kempe) und Reiseberichte für Frauen (Felix Fabri)
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Abstract This study examines what we know about traveling women primarily in the Middle Ages. As we know already, many female aristocrats were forced to travel extensively for the purpose of marriage; other women went on long or short pilgrimages; women were certainly involved
in wars as support staff and as the warriors’ wives. But we do not have many actual travelogues by women, except by the late medieval mystic Margery Kemp. Her Book thus becomes an important document of a traveling woman. The analysis of her work is then accompanied by a close
reading of Felix Fabri’s Sionpilger in which the author creates a mental pilgrimage account for nuns who could not travel but wanted to visit the pilgrimage sites in their minds. There is, in addition, much evidence of traveling women throughout all of medieval literature, whether
they journey voluntarily or are forced to do so.

Abstract: However we might think today about medieval mysticism, it certainly provided many late women with unique opportunities to turn to writing and thus to gain authority and respect, if they were not persecuted and executed by the male superiors, such as Marguerite de
Porète (1310). Christina of Hane (1269‐ca. 1292; previously identified as Christina of Retters), whom Racha Kirakosian has focused on much in her previous edition and study (2017), left a remarkable ego-document, her Life, which Kirakosian has now translated into English,
accompanying it with an excellent and in-depth introduction. She might have been the sister of the German King Adolf of Nassau (r. 1292‐1298).
Christine de Pizan, Le Livre des fais d’armes et de chevalierie, ed. critique par Lucien Dugaz. Textes Littéraires du Moyen Âge, 64. Paris: Classiques Garnier, 2021, 631 pp.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Although it was one of the most unusual topics for a female writer, Christine de Pizan’s Le Livre des fais d’armes et de chevalerie from 1410 was a major success and can be counted among her masterpieces, although research has not yet paid enough
attention to it. Written in the midst of the Hundred Years’ War between England and France, Christine emerges as a genius author on the principles of waging a war and on the ideals of knighthood, drawing extensively from classical sources, as was typical in the pre-modern world, and
also from oral accounts, maybe by military captains. Christine Moneera Laennec had produced a brief edition of Ms. A6 in her Ph.D. thesis from 1988, and Summer Willard and Charity Cannon Willard had already published an English translation of the Livre in 1999, but Lucien Dugaz now
finally presents a very solid historical-critical edition which immediately proves to be of the finest quality. The extensive introduction does not only present the large number of available manuscript copies (25 altogether), but also situates Christine’s text within the cultural-historical
context, discussing, for example, whom the poet probably addressed, how she used her classical sources, and the major themes and concepts pursued by her.

now in private hands (XL‐XLII). Two of the manuscripts used in this edition are presentation copies supervised by Christine: the editors’ base manuscript P, Paris, BnF, nafr. 4792, dedicatee unknown; and manuscript B, Brussels, KBR, 10987, produced for Jean Sans Peur/John the
Fearless, Duke of Burgundy. As a work commissioned by Charles III “the Noble” of Navarre, the Sept Psaumes provides a fascinating complement to Deborah McGrady’s study published at about the same time, The Writer’s Gift or the Patron’s Pleasure,
on late medieval French literary patronage and its turbulent political context.

Abstract: Edited by Julia Frick and Coralie Rippl, this slim volume, titled Dynamics of Literary Form in the Middle Ages, emanated from a research colloquium in October 2019, organized by Susanne Köbele in Frauenwörth/Chiemsee, Germany. Through the essays
in this volume, the scholars attempt to demonstrate how concepts of form and content create dynamic textual formations that can be examined according to discursive, generic, and poetic/rhetorical principles in historical contexts. Is form a phenomenon of the aesthetics of production or aesthetics
of reception? While the title sounds general and encompassing, the book specializes primarily in the rich thirteenth-century Middle High German literature. The six essays are grouped under five thematic aspects. The brief preface of the volume does not provide a summary of the essays.

Authors: Scarborough Connie L.
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Although there is much research on women’s writing and religious practices in the medieval and early modern periods, there are few studies on the place of exemplarity in hagiographies and secular biographies written about or by women. This book addresses this
lacuna and presents eight chapters on issues of female exemplary textuality. It is divided into two sections. Part I, “Rewriting Models,” reflects the power and dangers of exemplarity that led to writing and rewriting the lives of St. Mary of Egypt, Mary Magdalene, Angela of Foligno,
and Catherine of Siena. These women were saintly examples whose narratives were mostly composed by men. Part 2, “Inscribing Models,” treats the writings of Leonor de Córdoba, Teresa de Cartagena, Isabel de Villena, and St. Teresa de Ávila. Life accounts by these women
writers are examples of women constructing their own identity and their roles as authors. Exemplarity is thus treated in a broad sense, one that includes the secular and the sacred by analyzing texts from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries in which women are subjects and authors.

Quellen enthalten sind, desto größeres Interesse haben sie noch in der Gegenwart erregt, ob sie sich verifizieren lassen oder nicht. Diese Einsicht in globale Sensationslust, die oftmals das Interesse an Geschichte wachgehalten hat, mag ernüchternd wirken, ja enttäuschend,
denn wo bleibt denn dann die Wahrheit hinter den Quellenaussagen verborgen? Allerdings trifft zugleich zu, dass diese Berichte selbst als historische Fakten anzusehen sind, ob sie an erster Stelle fiktional waren oder nicht. Ob die Mongolen etwa tatsächlich so gewütet haben, wie
wir es oftmals hören, spielt letztlich nur eine zweitrangige Bedeutung, denn an erster Stelle steht die Reaktion der mittelalterlichen Zuhörer/Leser, weil sonst ja diese Berichte nicht aufgezeichnet worden wären.
The Parish and Town on Tour in Medieval and Early Modern England: 1323–1624

Published: April 2022

Abstract Published data concerning various performance activities in medieval and early modern England is extensive. Not only does the data reveal a rich heritage of such activity occurring locally in parishes and towns, but also that there were many instances when parishes
and towns actually took their performances on tour. By the end of the reign of Elizabeth such activity had almost ceased. Reasons for this seem tied to various policies enacted during the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth. Most of those policies in one way or another are
linked to what we now term the English Reformations

in the Wycliffite Bible, based on Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Bodley 554. The commentary consists of glosses, which are so extensive that they turn into chain-like series. The manuscript, however, is in critical conditions, so we are indeed in desperate need for a modern printed edition, especially
since a digitization will not be forthcoming soon, if ever.

Abstract: Laura Kalas, a faculty member at Swansea University and a specialist in medieval women’s literature, has produced a book squarely in the emerging tradition of medical humanities scholarship. It opens with two epigrams: a harsh, painful-yet-powerful poem from
Sylvia Plath about a dead woman’s body, called “Edge,” which is immediately juxtaposed with the proverbial reassurance of Julian of Norwich, “al shal be wele, and al shall be wele, and all manner thing shal be wele.” From the beginning of this insightful volume,
the reader has the sense that the book will be about a woman’s body in pain but that the woman will nevertheless experience healing and redemption. For those already familiar with The Book of Margery Kempe, such a sense rightly resonates with past readings of the primary text
and related secondary criticism.

Abstract: Ob in der Gegenwart oder im Mittelalter, alle fürstlichen oder staatlichen Selbstinszenierungen, besonders auf Reisen, erweisen sich als höchst kostspielig für die Untertanen bzw. Steuerzahler, aber sie bieten sich auch gut für die Gastgeber
an, ihr Selbstwertgefühl, ihre öffentliche Anerkennung und ihren politischen Rang zu steigern. In seiner Studie, die auf seiner Doktorarbeit, eingereicht im Wintersemester 2019/2020 an der Universität Bonn, beruht, widmet sich Steffen Kremer nicht so sehr diesen Herrscherreisen,
sondern deren visuellen Reflexionen, denn gerade in spätmittelalterlichen Städten und Adelssitzen regte sich oftmals das Interesse zumindest auf bildlichem Wege von der Einkehr eines reisenden Fürsten zu profitieren. Dass hierbei Propaganda, Projektion, Idealisierung u.a.m.
eine bestimmte Rolle spielten, wird nicht überraschen, aber genau die Gründe und Bedingungen für die Umsetzung solcher Aspekte in visuelle Dokumente herauszuarbeiten ist ja die Aufgabe eines Kunst- und Kulturhistorikers.
Raymond Lulle, Contes et fables. Trans. with an introduction by Patrick Gifreu. Perpignan: Editions de la Merci, 2020, 205 pp.
Authors: Clark Robert L. A.
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Patrick Gifreu is a prolific translator of the works of Raymond Llull or Raymond Lulle (1232–1315), and this selection of tales and fables, translated into French from the Catalan, is a welcome addition to the bibliography of the European moral tale. Gifreu
has culled fifty-seven short texts from three romances by Llull: the Romanç d’Evast e Blaquerna (ca. 1283), the Llibre de Meravelles (1289), and the Arbre de Ciència (1295–1296). Gifreu provides a very informative introduction, placing Llull and
his tales in their historical context and giving a detailed chronology of Llull’s long life. A hugely prolific author of philosophical, theological, and scientific works written in Latin, Arabic, and Catalan, Llull intended the vernacular romances to illustrate and disseminate ideas
developed as part of his larger project, the Ars magna, conceived as a compendium of all knowledge and universal truth. More specifically, Llull’s goal was the propagation of the Christian faith which, in his historical and geographic context, meant the refutation of Christianity’s
great rival, Islam, and the conversion of its practitioners.
Kathleen B. Neal, The Letters of Edward I: Political Communication in the Thirteenth Century, Boydell Press, Woodbridge, 2021, pp. xvii, 240.
Authors: Bachrach David S.
Published: April 2022

Abstract: The government of Edward I of England (1272‐1307) issued tens of thousands of letters in his name, thousands of which have been preserved in a variety of formats, including as stand-alone documents, as enrolled texts, and as reported in contemporary narrative
works. Despite the vast number of royal letters, however, they have received surprisingly little scholarly attention as a literary genre, although many of Edward’s letters have been mined for information about a wide range of topics. Moreover, until very recently, the vast corpus of
royal letters has not been used in a systematic way to gain insights regarding the thinking and character of Edward, himself. The present study by Kathleen B. Neal, lecturer in history at Monash University, goes a long way toward rectifying this substantial lacuna in the critical analysis
of a key genre of source materials for Edward’s reign. Neal also succeeds in shedding light on King Edward’s approach to and conception of the practice of royal rule.
Petitions from Lincolnshire c. 1200‐c. 1500, ed. Gwilym Dodd and Alison K. McHardy. Publications of the Lincoln Record Society 108. Woodbridge, UK: Boydell Press, 2020, pp. lxvi, 375.
Authors: Jordan William Chester
Published: April 2022

Abstract: The editors’ intention in publishing this selection of 190 petitions to the English royal government from the county of Lincolnshire is to reveal the range of problems the king’s subjects faced in the region. They provide a fine introduction that discusses
the characteristics of the records, including the rhetorical strategies employed in petitioning, and the political and economic background of life in the county. Lincolnshire was a large region, mostly agricultural in nature but there were a few mid-sized towns, notably the county seat, Lincoln,
and the port of Boston. Their problems were rather different from those of the villages, and the editors devote a section of the introduction to these urban issues. Another section of the introduction addresses ecclesiastical matters, and a brief conclusion lays out the editorial protocols
the editors have followed. The editors attempt to date each petition, offer a transcription and translation of each and provide copious and very helpful notes as well as other pertinent records to allow for the identification of parties and witnesses and the proper understanding of the disputes
that led men and women – mostly men – of all stations to seek the aid of the crown. There is an excellent index, which will facilitate use of the volume.
Ricoldus de Monte Crucis, Epistole ad Ecclesiam Triumphantem. Quellen und Untersuchungen zur Lateinischen Philologie des Mittelalters, 24. Stuttgart: Hiersemann 2021, VIII, 249 S.
Authors: Lützelschwab Ralf
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Der Dominikaner Ricoldus de Monte Crucis (ca. 1240‐1320) war in den vergangenen Jahren immer wieder Gegenstand der Forschung. Mit seinen vier um 1300 entstandenen Werken (Liber peregrinationis; Epistole ad Ecclesiam triumphantem; Contra legem Sarracenorum
und Ad nationes Orientales) profitierte er von aktuellen Forschungskonjunkturen – weg von der Kreuzzugsforschung im engeren Sinne hin zu den Beziehungen zwischen Orient und Okzident im Allgemeinen.
Schloss Maienfeld und seine Fresken, hrsg. von Horst E. Rupp. Lindenberg i. Allgäu: Kunstverlag Josef Fink, 2020, 128 S., viele farbige Abb., Skizzen

Published: April 2022

Abstract: Südlich von Vaduz liegt das Schloss Maienfeld, das bisher von Kunsthistorikern nur weniger beachtet wurde, obgleich dort eine Menge wertvoller spätmittelalterliche Fresken des Waltensburger Meisters (?) vorhanden sind. Erst in jüngster Zeit hat man
sich diesem Künstler mit größerer Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet, dokumentiert in dem beachtlichen Sammelband Der Waltensburger Meister in seiner Zeit, hrsg. von Horst F. Rupp (2015; cf. dazu meine Rez. in Mediaevistik 28 [2015]: 629-31), wo vor allem die wunderbaren
Fresken in der kleinen Dorfkirche von Waltensburg (westlich von Chur) behandelt wurden. Im vorliegenden Band, ebenfalls von Rupp herausgegeben, ist der Fokus auf Maienfeld gerichtet, d.h. auf das weitere Wirken dieses beachtlichen Künstlers oder seiner Schule, nun aber in einem weitgehend
‘säkularen’ Kontext, auch wenn die Besitzer der Burg geistliche Herren gewesen sein dürften.

Abstract: In ihrer für den Druck aufbereiteten Dissertation (Freiburg i.Br.; Jahr nicht angegeben) konzentriert sich Ina Serif auf die sehr hohe Verbreitung der Straßburger Chronik des Jakob Twinger von Königshofen und fragt nach den Bedingungen dafür
bzw. erkundigt sich, welche Funktion gerade diese Chronik für so unterschiedliche städtische Leserkreise besessen haben mochte. Leider verbrannte die Originalhandschrift im Preussisch-Französischen Krieg von 1870/71, aber eine Edition war vorher bereits erschienen, und seitdem
sind uns insgesamt 128 Codices (davon fast vierzig vollständige Abschriften) bekannt geworden, die aber keineswegs nur im südwestdeutschen Bereich verbreitet waren.

Abstract: In der jüngsten mediävistischen Forschung hat sich zunehmend herausgestellt, dass wir nun doch globalere Perspektiven in den Blick nehmen müssen. Global kann sehr viel bedeuten, und oftmals hat es leider bisher nur als ein Feigenblatt gedient, indem
man einfach Werke, Dichter, Ereignisse etc. von Ost und West nebeneinander stellte, was natürlich letztlich praktisch gar nichts bedeutet. Globale Konzepte sind nur dann sinnvoll, wenn sie transdisziplinär getragen sind und darauf basieren, dass echte Formen des Austausches oder
der gegenseitigen Kenntnisnahme stattfanden. Marco Polos Reise nach China dürfte als ein sehr bekanntes Beispiel dafür dienen. Das europäische Mittelalter kann generell gut dafür dienen, das Verständnis von globalen Beziehungen oder Kontakten zu verfolgen, wie sie
sich im Laufe der Zeit entwickelten (vgl. dazu jetzt A. Classen, “The Global World in the Pre-Modern Era: Lessons from the Past for Our Future. With a Focus on the Early Modern Novel Fortunatus (1509),” Current Research Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities 3.2
