Apart from general comments here and there, Huey strangely at rst neglects to answer this question, although this would have been the critical concern justifying the entire project to bring Folz back to the A.

Pub Res Q (2014) 30:179181 DOI 10.1007/s12109-014-9343-x BOOK REVIEW Stephan Fssel (ed): Gutenberg-Jahrbuch, 2013, volume 88 Harrassowitz, Wiesbaden, Germany, 2013, 303 pp, numerous ill., Hardcover, $102.00, ISBN 978-3-447-06917-5 Albrecht Classen Published online: 30 January 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Anyone interested in the history of book-printing, book-publishing, and related topics knows that this annual journal, the Gutenberg-Jahrbuch, represents the standard forum for research in the history of the book. The present volume is the 88th since the foundation of the journal in 1926. Since this is not a monograph, the range of different themes is rather extensive, making it very difcult to offer a succinct review. The last section deals with signicant book publishing companies since 1600, beginning with the East India Company, the topic of Graham Shaws article (in English), in which he explores how the distribution of books throughout the British colonial empire...

Titre: The Role of the Humanities Past and Present: Future Perspectives Based on Ancient Ideas. Reflections by a Medievalist Auteur:Classen, Albrecht Description:
Este estudio pone de relieve que debemos ser capaces de explicar y defender el enorme papel que desempeñan las humanidades, quizás incluso de un modo sorprendente al recurrir a la literatura medieval. A pesar de que en la actualidad siguen habiendo muchas buenas razones para promover la enseñanza de las humanidades, muchos críticos tienden a menospreciar las investigaciones culturales e históricas del mundo premoderno y se aferran al presentismo. No obstante, como las perspectivas medievalistas nos señalan, realmente se trata de todo lo contrario, ya que tanto poetas como filósofos del pasado nos han preservado ideales y valores fundamentales, conceptos éticos, e ideas religiosas y culturales acerca de la interrelación entre el ser y el mundo, así como entre lo material y lo metafísico.

Titre: Disrupted Festivities in Medieval Courtly Literature: Poetic Reflections on the Social and Ethical Decline in Mauritius von Craûn , The Stricker’s Daniel von dem Blühenden Tal , and Heinrich Wittenwiler’s Ring Auteur:Classen, Albrecht Sujet:Court festivals ; Disruptions of the court ; Collapse of the courtly ideals ; Mauritius von Craûn ; Der Stricker’s ; Heinrich Wittenwiler’s Description:
As much as courtly life in the Middle Ages was determined by the royal and aristocratic celebrations and festivities, as much disruptions and dangerous tensions also emerged easily, as reflected by numerous late medieval poets. In the course of time, the ideals and the theatricality of courtly life seem to have become increasingly fragile and deceptive, which finds powerful expression in such works as the anonymous Mauritius von Craûn , Der Stricker’s Daniel von dem Blühenden Tal , and Heinrich Wittenwiler’s Der Ring . This paper presents the way how those poets utilized the concept of the courtly festivity and its radical disruption as subtle criticism of an ever more duplicitous and untrustworthy courtly existence.

Titre: Multilingualism in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age: The Literary-Historical Evidence Auteur:Classen, Albrecht Sujet:Multilingualism in the Middle Ages ; Linguistic communication ; Foreign languages in the Middle Ages ; Latin versus Vernacular Description:
While we tend to discuss multilingualism as a primarily modern phenomenon, that is, as the result of massive migrations all over the globe today, people in the European Middle Ages were already extensively on the move, either on crusades or pilgrimages, on business trips or attending major political or clerical meetings. Multilingualism was consequently not an unusual phenomenon. This article brings together evidence from history, the history of language, and from medieval literature at large to confirm how much the knowledge of at least one, if not two and more, foreign languages was quite common at that age. Significantly, however, a number of poets far into the seventeenth century voiced great concern about the consequences of poor foreign language skills, revealing the true extent to which multilingualism was an important matter. Generally, we can assume that the less courtly poets addressed the issue of multilingualism, the more that phenomenon must have been present already then.

Titre: Stephan Füssel (ed.): Gutenberg-Jahrbuch 2016, Vol. 91 Auteur:Classen, Albrecht Sujet:Fussel, Stephan ; United States–Us ; New York ; Crete ; Germany ; Michigan ; Nonfiction ; Printing ; Books ; French Language ; Middle Ages ; Audience ; English Language ; German Language ; University of Arizona ; Berlin State Library; Description:
Appearing now in its 91st volume, the Gutenberg-Jahrbuchis truly the flagship of all research regarding the history of book-printing, type-setting, fonts, book-bindings, paper, and everything else correlated with this wide field, taking us from the late Middle Ages (say 1450, when Gutenberg, as we believe today, invented the printing press), to the very present. This volume comes, once again, with a plethora of valuable contributions, seven of which are in English, six in German, three in Italian, and one in French. Reflecting the wide range of topics associated with the making and selling of books, two articles present new efforts to make pre-modern books accessible to the audience either through a museum on the island of Crete (Viannis Garedakis) or in a university library, Grand Valey State University Library, Michigan (Robert Beasecker); while thirteen articles engage with specific aspects of the history of books and of printing (more details below).
