The Politics of Language and Nationalism in Modern Central Europe
This work focuses on the ideological intertwining between Czech, Magyar, Polish and Slovak, and the corresponding nationalisms steeped in these languages. The analysis is set against the earlier political and ideological history of these languages, and the panorama of the emergence and political uses of other languages of the region.
A Companion to Clare of Assisi
Clare of Assisi: Life, Writings and Spirituality examines Clare not merely as an obedient footnote to the friars, but as a Franciscan founder in her own right who kept primitive Franciscan ideals alive into the middle of the thirteenth century and transposed them into a woman’s key. Bringing together the best of international research, the text examines Clare’s importance within the early Franciscan milieu and her contribution to the thirteenth-century women's movement. It studies the radicalism of Clare's Franciscan choice, her life within the Monastery of San Damiano, her politicking with Agnes of Prague for the "privilege of poverty," and her uniqueness among other women in Gregory IX's Damianite ordo. Following this historical study are critical translations and literary analyses of Clare's four letters to Agnes of Prague as well as a new translation and commentary on Clare’s Forma Vitae.
Saints of the Christianization Age of Central Europe (Tenth-Eleventh Century)
This is the first of two volumes containing hagiographical narratives from medieval Central Europe. The lives of the saints in this volume, from the tenth to eleventh centuries, written not much later, are telling witnesses for the process of Christianization of Bohemia, Poland, Hungary and Dalmatia. Most of them became patrons of their region and highly venerated throughout the Middle Ages. The volume presents the first English translation of a legend of each of these saints with the most recent critical edition of the Latin original and prefaces discussing the textual tradition. In an appendix the extensive hagiographical literature of the saints is being critically surveyed.

Alfons Muchas Glasgemälde im Prager Veitsdom
Im 19. Jahrhundert führten verschiedenste Entwicklungen zum Entschluss, den im Jahre 1344 begonnenen Prager Veitsdom zu vollenden. Zahlreiche renommierte Künstler wurden verpflichtet, denn er war gleichzeitig das wichtigste Gotteshaus in Prag und als Herzstück der Prager Burg Krönungskirche und Bestattungsort von gekrönten Häuptern. Unter ihnen war 1928 auch der bekannte Mähre Alfons Mucha, der von einer Versicherungsgesellschaft beauftragt wurde, ein Glasgemälde zu schaffen. Das Buch beleuchtet erstmalig die gesamte Entstehungsgeschichte und inhaltliche Bedeutung dieses Glasgemäldes - erst der dritte Entwurf wurde akzeptiert - und die bewegte Dreiecks-Beziehung Dombauverein - Mucha - Versicherungsgesellschaft. Das Werk entstand im Spannungsfeld zwischen kirchlicher Kunst, kommerziellen Interessen sowie dem als Individualkünstler und Patrioten bekannten Mucha, der die Entwicklung der nationalen Identität der Tschechoslowakischen Republik ab 1918 künstlerisch maßgeblich mitbestimmt hat.
Origins of Yiddish Dialects
This book traces the origins of modern varieties of Yiddish and presents evidence for the claim that, contrary to most accounts, Yiddish only developed into a separate language in the 15th century. Through a careful analysis of Yiddish phonology, morphology, orthography, and the Yiddish lexicon in all its varieties, Alexander Beider shows how what are commonly referred to as Eastern Yiddish and Western Yiddish have different ancestors. Specifically, he argues that the western branch is based on German dialects spoken in western Germany with some Old French influence, while the eastern branch has its origins in German dialects spoken in the modern-day Czech Republic with some Old Czech influe...
