Dieses Kompendium dokumentiert erstmals vollständig und methodisch reflektiert die Sentenzen und Sprichwörter in den deutschsprachigen Artusromanen des Mittelalters. In einem differenzierten Gesamtverzeichnis werden die Sentenzen in der deutschen Artusepik des 12. und 13. Jahrhunderts gesammelt, im narrativen Kontext abgebildet, über eine Sinnparaphrase semantisch erläutert, durch den Nachweis von Parallelstellen im Sentenzen-Netzwerk des jeweiligen Werks verortet und mittels Belegen aus der Bibel und der lateinischen bzw. volkssprachigen Literatur des Mittelalters in die zugehörige Anwendungstradition eingeordnet. Dieser Band bietet außerdem eine grundlegende methodologische und forschungsgeschichtliche Einführung in die historische Sprichwörterforschung als Fundament des Handbuchs. Damit liegt das zweibändige Referenzwerk nun komplett vor. Es stellt ein Standardwerk für die künftige mediävistische Erzähl- und Sentenzenforschung dar.

Included are aphorisms, proverbs, sermons, speeches, homilies, prayers, letters, dialogues, and verse, all of which provide instruction on how to be a morally upstanding human being. The shorter compilation included here, One Hundred Proverbs, is attributed to the eminent writer al-Jahiz (d. 255/869). This volume presents the first English translation of both of these important collections.

The Libyan landscape is one of the most diverse and breathtaking, replete with barren deserts, vast ocean coasts, and a stunning display of earth's elements. Al-Koni, an award-winning and critically acclaimed Arabic writer, reflects on this fragile environment and the increasing threats to its existence in A Sleepless Eye, a collection of the poet's desert wisdom. He highlights the relationships between humans and Libya's natural features, grouping them by theme: nature, desert, water, sea, wind, rock, trees, and fire. Each theme contains a set of aphorisms that deliver thoughtful perspectives on what it means to coexist with an evolving planet. This volume is the result of the author's collaboration with the celebrated French nature photographer, Alain Sebe, and English translator Allen. The product is a body of work that calls upon readers to question their relationship with the earth through meditative ideas and photos, familiarizing English readers with the fundamental philosophies of environmental stewardship that transcend all boundaries.
