This extensively annotated edition consists of 454 catalogue articles presenting the Latin and German inscriptions of Stralsund, next to Lübeck the most important Hanseatic city in the southern Baltic Sea area during the 14th and 15th century. It is mainly the furnishings of the parish churches St Nicolas, St Mary and St James, consisting of funeral monuments, portraits, communion vessels, chandeliers and more, which document forms of piety before and after the Reformation as well as the self-representation of individuals, families and the city itself. Various additions such as a large number of illustrations complement the edition. The introduction characterizes the Stralsund corpus of inscriptions and connects it with historical developments in the city and the surrounding western Pomeranian region.
