Keine ausführliche Beschreibung für "Eine volkssprachliche Laienbibel des 15. Jahrhunderts" verfügbar.

The present volume presents an annotated edition of 464 German and Latin inscriptions in the district (Landkreis) of Hildesheim from the early 13th century up to 1650. The vast majority of inscriptions can be found in rural village churches. Main emphasis is put on about 100 inscriptions on bells which allow us to gain an authentic insight into the bells of the Hildesheim area and its different bell foundries. The large number of epitaphs show the way rural aristocracy wanted to be remembered. In addition to the inscriptions on bells those on altar pieces, offertory boxes and chalices give important evidence how the interior of village churches had been changed by the reformation.

The volume contains 410 inscriptions of the Northeim area (Landkreis) up to the year 1650 including 79 that are originated from the Gandersheim monastery up to 1700. The precise edition of the inscriptions has been supplemented by commentaries and 10 indexes. Thus a vast stock of inscriptions on funeral monuments, on bells, buildings and church fittings is presented to research in local and regional history. Together with more than 90 volumes of the series „Die Deutschen Inschriften“ (German Inscriptions) researchers in the history of piety, erudition and mentalities, of arts, philology and other humanities will find rich and sometimes hitherto unknown materials.

The main themes of the volume are: Visual Representations of Religious Concepts; Early Modern Epigraphic Collections; Genealogy and Princely Self-Presentation; Language and Prestige in Inscriptions, from 1517 until 1648; Death and Burial Culture; The Culture of Funerary Monuments in the Rhine-Main-Moselle-Region. Each of these themes is explored in an interdisciplinary pair of essays (epigraphic plus either historical, art historical or philological), in which the transition, around 1500, from the Late Medieval to the Early Modern periods is the main focus. In addition, the volume includes individual studies on the following: Inscriptions on Weapons and Armoury; Languages used in Inscriptions in England, 1300 to 1700; The Monuments of the Old Jewish Cemetery in Worms; The Adaptation of Antique rhetorical conventions of prince-pleasing. Finally, several brief reports describe ongoing epigraphic research projects in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Latvia and Russia. English summaries of all contributions are included.
