Der gebürtige Wiener Wolfgang von Weisl (1896-1974) ist der bedeutendste und radikalste revisionistische Zionist österreichischer Herkunft. Er hat nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg mit enormem, vielfältigem und auch militantem Einsatz als Politiker, Arzt, Offizier, Ökonom, Kolonist, Vortragender, Schriftsteller und Journalist an der Wegbereitung eines unabhängigen jüdischen Staates in Palästina mitgewirkt. Sein Lebenswerk, seine Autobiographie und seine zahlreichen politischen und literarischen Schriften - Zeitungsartikel, orientalische Sach- und Reisebücher, medizinische und religionspsychologische Abhandlungen, Gedichte, erzählende und dramatische Texte - sind bisher noch unerforscht. Diese vom Österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds (FWF) geförderte, kommentierte und ausführlich monographisch eingeleitete Edition der beiden autobiographischen Texte Wolfgang von Weisls, "Lang ist der Weg ins Vaterland" und "Der Weg nach Latrun", leistet einen ersten grundlegenden Beitrag.

The reception history of the term autofiction, coined by Serge Doubrovsky in 1977 and strongly polarising since then, shows that autofictional writing has been used by numerous authors in the past decades as a possibility to give explosive insights into their lives on the one hand, but to refer to an indeterminable ""fictional"" part of their work on the other. The underlying interferences between fictional and factual narrative strategies seem to predestine autofiction for the representation and provocation of scandal. This volume brings together contributions that illuminate the relationship between autofiction and scandal from epistemological, literary-historical and reception-aesthetic perspectives and explore ethical questions of the demarcation between public and private space.

"This volume contains a critical edition, with an English translation and notes, of 20 chapters of the Semeioseis gnomikai ("Sententious notes") of the Byzantine statesman Theodore Metochites (1270-1332).The introduction gives an extensive, partly new, description and assessment of the manuscripts as physical objects and in their relationship to each other. The manuscripts discussed, and used in the edition, are the Par. gr. 2003 (P) and Marc. gr. 532 (M), both of the fourteenth century, and, wherever M is illegible, the Scor. gr. 248 (E), a sixteenth-century copy of M. In the edition, the reading of P (including the corrections by the main copyist, Michael Klostomalles, as well as a manus secunda) is generally adopted as the authoritative text. The volume concludes with a bibliography, an index of passages, and an index of names. The discussion in the essays touches upon several subjects, more or less related to each other. Among these are the ignorance of man and the difficulty to know anything, and the moral side of seeking an active life as opposed to "living hidden."
