The Kingdom of the Netherlands is a small, but heavily populated country with almost 17 million inhabitants. It is one of the last kingdoms in Europe and in 2015 it celebrated its 200 years anniversary. The Netherlands became a kingdom after the Napoleonic era. During this period it was transformed into a centralized state. Before those years it had been one of few republics in Europe for about two centuries. That state was a confederacy, which emerged in the 1580s during its independence struggle against the Spanish Habsburgs. Although the present state is still monarchial, the Netherlands functions as a modern constitutional democracy, in which the king’s position is almost comparable with a ceremonial presidency. The majority of the Dutch population, however, appreciates the hereditary political presence of the House of Orange-Nassau, regarding this dynasty as a symbol of national unity and connection with the country’s past. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of the Netherlands contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 900 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Netherlands.

Es handelt sich beim vorliegenden Werk um die kritische Edition der ältesten erhaltenen byzantinischen Weltchronik, der Chronographia des Ioannes Malalas (syrisch: Rhetor oder Rechtsgelehrter). Iohannes Malalas wurde um 490 n. Chr. in oder bei Antiochia geboren und starb um 570/580 n. Chr. Er schrieb seine Chronographia in zeitgenössischem umgangssprachlichem Griechisch. Die Ausgabe umfasst die Prolegomena, die Auskunft geben über die handschriftliche Überlieferung der Chronographia, die Textedition mit reichhaltigem apparatus fontium und minutiösem apparatus criticus, sowie die im CFHB vorgesehenen Indices. Die Edition ersetzt jene von Dindorf (1813 im Bonner Corpus). Sie bietet insofern einen vollständigeren Text als sie zum ersten Mal auch das erste Buch des Werkes enthält und die kirchenslavische Übersetzung des 10./11. Jhs., die einen vollständigeren Text bietet, in Rückübersetzung bei der Texterstellung heranzieht. This is the critical edition of the earliest extant Byzantine world chronicle, the Chronographia by Ioannes Malalas (Malalas' = Syrian for 'rhetor' or 'scholar'). Iohannes Malalas was born approximately in 490 in or near Antiochia and died approximately in 570/580. He wrote his chronicle in the contemporary colloquial Greek. The edition comprises the Prolegomena which give information about the handwritten tradition of the Chronographia, the edition of the text with a rich apparatus fontium and a precise apparatus criticus as well as the indices planned in the CFHB. The edition replaces that one of Dindorf (1813 in the corpus of Bonn). It offers a more complete text in so far as it contains for the first time the first book and uses the translation of the Slavic Church in the 10/11th century for the textual construction.

"Alexander the Great, Caesar, Caligula, Cicero, Cleopatra, Diogenes, Hypatia, Leonidas, Lucretia, Nero, Sappho and Socrates--all famous women and men from Antiquity who have fascinated across the centuries that divide us from them. We encounter them again and again in literature, art, music, film and new media forms such as graphic novels. The 96 contributions in Brill's New Pauly Supplement 7: Historical Figures from Antiquity written by an international team of scholars depict the survival of these great characters from Antiquity to the modern world. Each article presents an overview of the latest research on what we know concerning the lives of the historical person or legendary figure and then recounts the reception of these figures throughout history, giving special attention on the viewpoints in the early modern and contemporary periods. Turning the spotlight on the leitmotifs of established images and theories allows the reader to reassess the importance of these figures in our history and culture"
