Abstract:

AbstractComparative research focused on medieval literature continues to be characterized by many desiderata, especially with regard to the fruitful relationships between late medieval verse narratives, mæren, and the famous Italian storyteller Boccaccio and his Decameron. This paper brings to light four significant Middle High German verse narratives from the 13th or early-14th century that demonstrate remarkable similarities with stories contained in Boccaccio’s Decameron. While the study of Boccaccio’s sources has traditionally been focused primarily on Old French (fabliaux) or Latin source

Abstract:

In the study of mediaeval European literature, especially that of France and Germany, the terms chanson de femme and Frauenlied have come to be conventional designations for a distinct type of poem—more broadly defined than a genre: a female-voice love-lyric in a popular rather than a courtly mode. To use the language of Pierre Bec, femininity here is “textual” rather than “genetic.” Most of these “women’s songs” are attributed to male authors, although there has been a tendency to trace the type back to preliterate songs actually composed by women. Goethe, Jakob Grimm, and others saw in the e

Abstract:

With these seventeen retrospective essays (all dating from 1988–2015) peerless medieval Latinist Peter Dronke unearths certain links between sacred and profane notions and images, as well as Christian-Platonic motifs, particularly from the early Middle Ages. The first two parts of the book dwell on aspects (in the widest sense) of Christian Platonism, focusing on themes like sensuality, allegory, and the theme of silence, whether in the Latin tradition or in the vernacular (Old French or Middle High German, for example). The second (middle) segment touches on some of the greatest thinkers in t

Abstract-. The development of the adverbs from Latin to the Romance languages raises the question of morphologization vs demorphologization. It also challenges the relevance of the category of adverb as a distinct part of speech. After a first part dedicated to a reassessment of the status of the Latin adverb and of its ties with the nominal system, this article analyses the innovations that brought to the emergence of new adverbial formations in Late Latin and Romance languages. One of those innovations is the spreading of the adverbs in -mente in the Romance languages and especially in Gallo

Abstract:

Where is the research on the Renaissance being done in Germany? Is it true that “European history is still firmly divided among antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern era,” and that therefore “the Renaissance occupies no space of its own in the history curriculum [of German universities]” as Professor Karant-Nunn has argued? The problem, it seems, is that German historians have largely abandoned the term “Renaissance” to denote the period between the Middle Ages and the modern era, using instead the term “early modern period” (Friihe Neuzeit), a term whose perimeters are variously defined

On the Influence of Latin on Old High German In this article I have given a historical overview of the influence of Latin on the German language at the different stages of its development. But, a special attention was given to Old High German, because both have common roots. At the beginning I explained the most important background about Latin and Old High German to better understand the development of the German language gradually. Then, I have explained the influence of Latin on Old High German through the relationship between Latin and Old High German from a religious perspective. At

Abstract:

Abstract The Old Frisian lexicon contains two words for ‘blue’: wēden, related to OE wǣden (MoE woaden arch.), OHG weitīn (MoG waiden arch.), and MLG wêden, with adjectival suffix *-īna stemming from PGmc *waida-, waidina- ‘woad, plant yielding blue dye’. The other one is blāw, a loanword through Middle Dutch or Middle Low German (from French), which is cognate with OE blǣhǣwen, OHG blāo, plāo, and ON blár, from PGmc *blēwa- < IE *bhel- ‘shining’ (cf. Lat. flavus ‘golden yellow’). This article analyses the occurrences of the words wēden and blāw in the Old Frisian text corpus in order to de

Abstract:

At the end of the 18th century the French physicians discussed Johann Georg Zimmermann's medical concepts (i.e. medical experience, the influence of the soul on health and disease). In contrast to the German scientists, the French, especially those from the School of Montpellier, accepted Zimmermann's medical views as a confirmation of vitalism and neohippocratic medicine. In Germany, Zimmermann's medical works fell into oblivion after his death until the middle of 20th century. This may be a concequence of his intimate contacts to the European high nobility and of his polemic attacks against

Abstract:

In the perception of Richard Wagner's Lohengrin and in scholarly discourse on it, the legend associated with the tales of the Knights of the Grail prevails. But the romantic element in opera had a political and even revolutionary meaning for Wagner. The historical layer of the operatic action in Lohengrin draws on the Deeds of the Saxons by Widukind of Corvey and recounts the birth of the Yrst Germanic parish, united by Henry the Fowler, the “Father of the Fatherland” — and the Yrst Germanic emperor. The Romantic generation of German revolutionaries — Wagner's peers and associates — excavated

The languages considered range from quite prominent German and French via Turkish to very exotic Nuuchahnulth or no longer spoken Old and Middle English.

Abstract:

The present dissertation is a comparative investigation between the Germanic-like structural phenomena found in the left periphery of Old French (OF) clauses and the syntactic phenomena found in the left periphery of Old High German (OHG). The goal of this thesis is to provide evidence that only a synchronic analysis can explain the presence of Germanic-like structures in OF syntax. The reason for this lies in the similarities between the V2 properties found in OF and OHG. The two languages show V2 properties such as V-to-C movement and XP fronting, but also properties which are not found in M

France, in particular, saw extensive poetic activity, notably in the genres of the chanson de geste and the troubadour lyric. Other French genres of the time include saints’ lives, romances, lais, and fabliaux; the use of the octosyllabic line for these poems is examined.

‘Politics’ explains that Beethoven was born into a world of strict social hierarchies and as an artist occupied something of a middle ground between nobility and commoners. He was eighteen years old when the French Revolution broke out, and he witnessed changes that transformed not only the map of Europe but its mind as well. Small wonder, then, that his own political views so often seem contradictory. He at times admired Napoleon and at times despised him. He professed sympathy for commoners but did not want to be treated like one and never corrected those who mistook in the “van” in his name
