Le mémoire de maîtrise présentée a comme but de faire ressortir la relation entre des rééditions des livres d’images de la République démocratique allemande (Bode 2002, Richter 2016) et l’ostalgie (Ahbe 2001/ 2013/2017/2018, Boyer 2006, Haage 2013), un phénomène de nostalgie de la RDA. À partir de la série Kindergeschichten der DDR (Beltz/KinderbuchVerlag; depuis 2009), une analyse paratextuelle (Genette 2001) a été effectuée. Les observations faites nous ont permis de distinguer les groupes commémoratifs affectés, de déterminer de quelle façon les réimpressions font référence à la mémoire collective de l’Allemagne de l’Est et de montrer de quelle manière cette mémoire influence les réimpressions. Avec cette contribution, l’auteure espère enrichir le domaine de recherche de la littérature enfantine germanophone., This Master thesis explores the relationship between the reeditions of picture books from the German Democratic Republic (Bode 2002, Richter 2016) and “Ostalgie” (Ahbe 2001/ 2013/2017/2018; Boyer 2006; Haage 2013), a unique and continually evolving brand of collective memory specific to the GDR. Analyzing the paratexts (Genette 2001) of the series Kindergeschichten der DDR (Beltz/KinderbuchVerlag; since 2009), we could distinguish the affected commemorative groups, determine in which way the reeditions refer to the collective memory of East Germany, and show in which way this memory influences the reeditions. With this contribution, the author hopes to enhance the field of research on German children’s literature., Das Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit war es, den Zusammenhang zwischen Neuauflagen ehemaliger DDR-Bilderbücher (Bode 2002, Richter 2016) und Ostalgie (Ahbe 2001/2013/2017/2018, Boyer 2006, Haage 2013), als Phänomen einer spezifischen ostdeutschen Erinnerungskultur, herauszuarbeiten. Von besonderem Interesse war, wie Neuauflagen von DDR-Kinderbüchern an der (Re)Konstruktion von DDRErinnerung beteiligt sind und an welchen Stellen dies explizit als auch implizit deutlich wird. Anhand einer paratextuellen Analyse (Genette 2001) der Reihe Kindergeschichten der DDR (Beltz/KinderbuchVerlag: seit 2009) wurde nachgezeichnet, auf welche Weise und bei welchen Gruppen die Bilderbücher Erinnerungen auslösen (können) und wie diese Erinnerungen wiederum auf die aktuellen Wiederauflagen zurückwirken bzw. diese steuern. Die Autorin erhofft sich mit diesem Beitrag das Forschungsfeld der deutschsprachigen Kinderliteratur zu bereichern.

The initial part of the article describes in brief the collection of approximately 2300 manuscripts from the National Museum in Cracow. However, the article’s goal is to put attention of the experts in the history of the book and book collections since the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century to several dozen of valuable archival sources from this range, from the same collection. The largest group of them includes inventories and catalogues from the 18th-19th centuries, from the Chodkiewicz family libraries in Mlynow, Czarnobyl, Konojad, Warszawa and Turzec. The others are inventories and catalogues of (among others) aristocratic and noble libraries, including those of Jan Fryderyk Sapieha, Tekla Roza Wiśniowiecka, the Branicki family in Bialymstok, Jozef Rzewuski, Aleksander Chodkiewicz, Jan Ansgary Czapski, Gustaw Olizar, Henryk Siemiradzki; monastery libraries of the Bernardine nouns in Slonim and Brześc Litewski, the Order of St Paul at Jasna Gora and the Marian Fathers in Puszcza Korabiewska; the Numismatic Society in Cracow, and unknown Warsaw theatre. In the other part the author presents chronologically ordered list of 41 inventories, catalogues and directories of books from the collection of manuscripts of the National Museum.

The article in the Materials section is the second part of the work of E. Truskolaska, published in the 15th volume of the "Studies into the History of the Book and Book Collections" of 1993 (pp. 121-154). This is the catalogue of the book collection of Karol Zabrzeski, the mayor of the seventeenth-century Warsaw. It consists of 466 units, stored in the majority in the University of Warsaw Library and the Library of the Metropolitan Seminar in Warsaw. Individual books of Zabrzeski were also found in the Hieronim Łopacinski Provincial Public Library in Lublin, the Library of the Ossolinski National Institute in Wroclaw, and in the Warsaw Public Library. The catalogue units consist of shortened bibliographic description, information about binding, and provenances. The catalogue is preceded with the List of abbreviations and the List of abbreviations of cited literature, and completed with the Index of provenances.

Artikelbeginn:[English title and abstract below] Die Verlags- und Buchhandelsgeschichte des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts ist sowohl »faszinierende Blütezeit des Buchhandels in Deutschland« (Raabe 1984, S. IX) als auch reich an Innovationen des Kinder- und Jugendbuchmarkts im Prozess der Institutionalisierung und der Modernisierung (vgl. Schmid 2018, S. 22 ff.; Ewers 1982, S. 13 u. a.). Zu Recht wurde betont, dass sich Verlage als »eigentlich bestimmende und dynamische« Instanz der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur herausstellten, weil sie »als erste die enorm gestiegenen Lese- und Bildungsbedürfnisse immer breiterer Schichten wahrnahmen« und darauf strategisch geschickt reagierten (vgl. Dettmar u. a. 2003, S. 128). »Books Particularly Suitable as Gifts for the Young«Books for Children and Youths by the Berlin Publishing House Carl Friedrich Amelang in the Early Nineteenth Century This article, a contribution to the history of the book, presents the publishing house Carl Friedrich Amelang as an important example of specialised children’s book production in early nineteenth-century Berlin and Germany. The focus is on strategies of production, distribution, the materiality of books and their reception with special attention paid to the importance of illustrations, specific book styles and authors such as Johann Heinrich Meynier and Amalia Schoppe. It shows how this publishing house continued the tradition of eighteenth-century children’s literature, while modernising it with new genres such as adventure novels and information books.

The article focuses on the history of the Book of Revelation of St. John the Theologian among Orthodox Slavs in the Middle Ages. The aim is to present its place among the other biblical books, related to Cyril and Methodius’ literary tradition and follow its origin, its way of life and spreading in the Slavia Orthodoxa . The two main versions of the distribution of the book are presented – without interpretations and with the interpretations of St. Andrew of Caesarea, while the specifics of the basic versions of the book are also presented (East Slavonic and South Slavic versions with commentaries, Bosnian Cyrillic version, the earliest Serbian transcript, Croatian Glagolitic fragments, Bulgarian calendar version). An opinion has been expressed that a common initial translation is at the root of all these versions of the book, which was accompanied by interpretations, and probably made in Bulgaria at the end of 9th–10th C. Subsequently, it has been edited at different Times and in different locations, placed in the composition of different collections, or as a separate book.

Subject to this study is the Neunfelsenbuch ('Book of the Nine Cliffs'), an account of a vision, which is assumed to have originated in Strasbourg after 1352. Initially written in the German vernacular, it was widely circulated in various German dialects and in Dutch and Latin translation. The text exists in two versions: a long version, which is thought to be the work of Rulman Merswin (1382), a citizen of Strasbourg and founder of the convent at the 'Gruner Worth' (1367); and a short version of unknown authorship. Previous scholars have considered the long version to be Merswin's reformulation of the shorter text, which was presumed - though not proven - to have been the original. By investigating the transmission and the textual history, this study aims to solve the questions of authorship and original form. It provides an overview of the entire transmission of both versions in prints and manuscripts, particularly focusing on the southern German short version. For the first time the short version is made available in a critical edition, as a basis for a systematic comparison with the long version. The comparison reveals that, in fact, the long version is the original and thus confirms Rulman Merswin as the true author. Written in 1352, the text not only belongs to the oldest works of the Tauler reception, but also stands at the beginning of the literary production at the 'Gruner Worth'. As a result, this text provides new insights into the spiritual development and the literary heritage of one of the most important centres of spiritual literature in the German vernacular of its time.

Th is article analyzes reports about the (alleged) dreadful torture and death of Sabbatai Zvi (Zwi, Sebi, Sevi, 1626-76), printed in contemporary periodical newspapers, pamphlets and broadsheets. In May 1665, Sabbatai Zvi of Smyrna, the most prominent of the modern Jewish pseudo-messiahs,proclaimed himself the new messiah. Supported by his prophet, the young and charismatic rabbi Nathan Ashkenazi of Gaza, he set out for Constantinople, where it was believed, he would take back the Holy Land from Ottoman Sultan. However, the Turkish authorities promptly arrested him. Given an ultimatum either to convert to Islam or die, Sabbatai chose to apostasize. Rumors about his arrest reached the printing houses in northern Europe along with news items about his purported execution (which never took place). Among the broadsides and pamphlets about the false messiah were ones illustrated with vivid engravings of the supposed tortures. On the basis of the engravings and certain textual details we conclude that the earliest illustrated broadside about the torture is Wunder über Wunder, known from one extant copy). The next broadside (with added details) is Verwunderlicher Anfang und schmählicher Ausgang (possibly printed in Augsburg), then a pamphlet with a folding plate, which we have attributed to D.F. Rhete, Danzig. Another rare pamphlet, known only from a single copy, contains the same text as the broadside, but no engravings. Finally the authors try to estimate the impact of those broadsides and pamphlets on their readers. Apparently the interest was very large. In the case of the Danzig pamphlet, there was even a second edition, from which we might estimate that about 12-14% of the population of Danzig either read or listened to the (invented) story about the execution of Sabbatai Zvi in 1666.
