Описание: Joseph ben Matthias, Jud an aristocrat and Jerusalem Temple priest of the first rank, steps out into the boundless, magnificent city of Rome. He's clever, handsome, f ted by his Jewish hosts, and on a righteous mission to free three venerable old Jews wrongfully imprisoned as rebels. Joseph secures an audience with Nero's beautiful young Empress, Popp a. Charmed by Joseph's zeal, she asks the Minister of Oriental Affairs to release the prisoners. The Minister seizes the opportunity to trade his assent for an edict guaranteed to outrage and mobilize the Jews of Jud a; Rome needs an excuse to comprehensively crush ongoing Jewish resistance. His scheme bears fruit. In the year 66 Jud a revolts. Led by canny old commander Vespasian, Roman forces prevail until only the fortified city of Jerusalem remains in the hands of Jewish rebels. Vespasian is acclaimed Emperor and returns to Rome, leaving the siege to his son Titus. Weeks drag by. Jerusalem, with its lofty, magnificent Temple, becomes to the besieging Romans a symbol of obdurate Jewish arrogance to be overthrown. Rebel commander, Roman captive and Flavian prot g , Josephus, long reviled as a traitor and Roman toady, is portrayed by Feuchtwanger with clear-eyed empathy as a complex, brilliant man whose desire to become a "citizen of the world" conflicts with his Jewish identity. It was Joseph's destiny, however, to become a fierce defender in Rome of the unique importance of Jewish contribution to humanity, and to become known as the first-century historian Flavius Josephus and the author of "The Jewish War." adapted from a review by Annis, HistoricalNovels.info]
The Nuremberg Miscellany [Germanisches Nationalmuseum Nurnberg, Bibliothek, 8° Hs. 7058 (Rl. 203)] is a unique work of scribal art and illumination. Its costly parchment leaves are richly adorned and illustrated with multicolour paint and powdered gold. It was penned and illustrated in southern Germany – probably Swabia – in 1589 and is signed by a certain Eliezer b. Mordechai the Martyr.
The Miscellany is a relatively thin manuscript. In its present state, it holds a total of 46 folios, 44 of which are part of the original codex and an additional bifolio that was attached to it immediately or soon after its production.
The book is a compilation of various Hebrew texts, most of which pertain to religious life. Others are home liturgies, Biblical exegeses, comments on rites and customs, moralistic texts, homiletic and ethical discourses, and an extensive collection of home liturgies, its major part being dedicated to the life cycle.
The unparalleled text compilation of the Nuremberg Miscellany on the one hand, and the naive, untrained illustrations on the other hand, are puzzling. Its illustrations are hardly mindful of volume, depth or perspective, and their folk-art nature suggests that an unprofessional artist, possibly even the scribe himself, may have executed them. Whoever the illustrator was, his vast knowledge of Jewish lore unfolds layer after layer in a most intricate way. His sharp eye for detail renders the images he executed a valid representation of contemporary visual culture.
The iconography of the Nuremberg Miscellany, with its 55 decorated leaves, featuring 25 text illustrations, falls into two main categories: biblical themes, and depictions of daily life, both sacred and mundane. While the biblical illustrations rely largely on artistic rendering and interpretation of texts, the depictions of daily life are founded mainly on current furnishings and accoutrements in Jewish homes. The customs and rituals portrayed in the miscellany attest not only to the local Jewish Minhag, but also to the influence and adaptation of local Germanic or Christian rites. They thus offer first-hand insights to the interrelations between the Jews and their neighbors.
Examined as historical documents, the images in the Nuremberg Miscellany are an invaluable resource for reconstructing Jewish daily life in Ashkenaz in the early modern period. In a period from which only scanty relics of Jewish material culture have survived, retrieving the pictorial data from images incorporated in literary sources is of vital importance in providing the missing link. Corroborated by similar objects from the host society and with descriptions in contemporary Jewish and Christian written sources, the household objects, as well as the ceremonial implements depicted in the manuscript can serve as effective mirrors for the material culture of an affluent German Jewish family in the Early Modern period.
The complete Nuremberg Miscellany is reproduced in the appendix of this book.

Der vorliegende Band vereint Forschungsbeitr?ge der 8. Konferenz der Internationalen Feuchtwanger-Gesellschaft, die im Herbst 2017 im Heinrich Heine Haus in Paris zum Thema «Frankreich als Gastland der deutschsprachigen, insbesondere der deutsch-j?dischen und ?sterreichisch-j?dischen Emigration zwischen 1933 und 1940: Formen und Medien ?ffentlicher Erinnerungskultur» stattfand. Die Erinnerung an vergangene Epochen sowie das Bild, das im R?ckblick von einer bestimmten Zeitspanne entsteht, wird von Gedenkst?tten, aber auch von Texten – ob juristischer, journalistischer oder literarischer Natur – und gegebenenfalls deren ?bersetzung und Archivierung gepr?gt. Auch politische Kampfschriften und Reden, Briefe, Tageb?cher, Ausstellungen, Filme, Gem?lde und Fotographien bewahren Zeitgeschehen f?r die Nachwelt auf.
Die Konferenz widmete sich der Frage, welche Erinnerungen an die deutschsprachige Emigration zwischen 1933 und 1940 in Frankreich noch heute pr?sent sind, inwieweit sie materialisiert, eventuell auch institutionalisiert wurden und welche Ereignisse der damaligen Zeit sich im kollektiven Ged?chtnis nicht verankern konnten. Die Beitr?ge des Bandes konzentrieren sich auf die unterschiedlichen Formen und Medien einer ?ffentlichen Erinnerungskultur im deutsch-franz?sischen Kontext. Der Band verbindet die wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten der Exilforschung mit den Erkenntnissen der Ged?chtnis- und Erinnerungsforschung und leistet somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur interdisziplin?ren Vernetzung der beiden Forschungsfelder sowie zur Erweiterung der theoretischen Ans?tze im Rahmen der Lion-Feuchtwanger-Forschung.

Описание: This collection of essays is devoted to the Jewish themes that ran through Lion Feuchtwanger’s life, works and worlds. Beginning with a selection of Feuchtwanger’s unpublished writings, speeches, and interviews, the volume examines the author’s approaches to Jewish history, Zionism, Judaism’s relationship to early Christianity and to eastern religions, and Jewish identity through his works, above all his historical fiction. Essays also trace translations of his works into English and Russian, and the meaning of his writing for various communities of Jewish and non-Jewish readers in Britain, North America, and the Soviet Union. A final section frames the issues around Feuchtwanger and Jewishness more broadly by considering the condition of exile and expanding the focus to communities of ?migr? writers and political figures in North America and beyond.
Описание: Emphasizes environmental policy, as well as the structure and details of the federal environmental statutes. This casebook focuses students` attention on how tradeoffs between environmental goals and social goals are resolved in different and difficult contexts. The book pays close attention to the political context in which regulation takes place.
