Die Prachthandschriften aus dem Umfeld Karls des Großen zählen zu den Schätzen der mittelalterlichen Buchkunst. Sowohl in den Werken der "Hofschule" als auch in der "Gruppe des Wiener Krönungsevangeliars" spielen imitierte Materialien eine große Rolle. Ilka Mestemacher ergründet erstmals die Ästhetik, Ikonographie und Technik der gemalten Marmorsäulen und Edelsteine. Der Fokus auf Materialien ermöglicht zugleich, das Verhältnis der Buchmalerei zu zeitgenössischer Architektur und Goldschmiedekunst zu beleuchten. Darüber hinaus wird der christliche Diskurs um Naturnachahmung thematisiert. Mit ihren zahlreichen Farbabbildungen bietet die Monographie einen völlig neuen Blick auf die karolingischen Prachthandschriften. The magnificent manuscripts associated with Charlemagne's circle are among the treasures of medieval book art. In both the works of the "Court school" and the "Group of the Vienna Coronation Gospels," imitated materials play a major role. Ilka Mestemacher is the first to explore the aesthetics, iconography, and technique of painted marble columns and precious stones. Through the focus on materials, she sheds light on the relationship between book illumination and contemporary architecture and goldsmithing. In addition, Mestemacher examines the Christian discourse on the imitation of nature. With its numerous color illustrations, the monograph offers a completely new view of the magnificent Carolingian manuscripts.

"Haiti Fights Back: The Life and Legacy of Charlemagne Peralte is the first US scholarly examination of the politician and caco leader (guerrilla fighter) who fought against the US military occupation of Haiti. The occupation lasted close to two decades, from 1915-1934. Alexis argues for the importance of documenting resistance while exploring the occupation's mechanics and its imperialism. She takes us to Haiti, exploring the sites of what she labels as resistance zones, including Peralte's hometown of Hinche and the nation's large port areas--Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien. Alexis offers a new reading of US military archival sources that record Haitian protests as banditry. Haiti Fights Back illuminates how Peralte launched a political movement, and meticulously captures how Haitian women and men resisted occupation through silence, military battles, and writings. She locates and assembles rare, multilingual primary sources from traditional repositories, living archives (oral stories), and artistic representations in Haiti and the United States. The interdisciplinary work draws on legislation, cacos' letters, newspapers, and murals, offering a unique examination of Peralte's life (1885-1919) and the significance of his legacy through the 21st century. Haiti Fights Back offers a new approach to the study of the US invasion of the Americas by chronicling how Caribbean people fought back"--

Carolingian historical texts have long stood at the base of our modern knowledge about the eighth and ninth centuries. The ninth century gave birth to a new revival of secular biography, which has come to be recognized as one of the brightest bands in the spectrum of Carolingian historical writing. This collection brings together, for the first time in one volume, the five royal/imperial biographies written during the Carolingian period. Thomas F. X. Noble’s new English translations of these five important texts—Einhard’s Life of Emperor Charles, Notker’s Deeds of Charles the Great, Ermoldus Nigellus’s Poem in Honor of Louis, Thegan’s Deeds of Emperor Louis, and the Life of Louis by “the Astronomer”—are each accompanied by a short introduction and a note on “Essential Reading.” Offering details on matters of style, sources used by the author, and the influence, if any, exerted by the text, Noble provides a context for each translation without compromising the author’s intended voice. By “reuniting” these five essential medieval texts in an English translation, this volume makes these voices accessible to scholars and non-experts alike throughout the Anglophone world.

"The Codex epistolaris Carolinus preserves ninety-nine letters, dated between 739 and 791 and sent by the popes to the Frankish king Charlemagne and his predecessors. The compilation was commissioned by Charlemagne in 791, but the sole surviving medieval manuscript of the letters was made at Cologne in the later ninth century and is now in Vienna (Österreichische Nationalbibliothek Cod. 449). The headings or lemmata provided for each letter by the Frankish compilers in 791 and faithfully preserved in the codex, add a distinctive Frankish commentary on events in Rome and Italy in the second half of the eighth century. This book not only provides the first full English translation of the letters and lemmata in the Codex epistolaris Carolinus but also re-creates the original Carolingian order of presentation of the letters according to the manuscript. A substantial introduction discusses the historical significance of the collection, the compilation and contexts of the Vienna manuscript, especially the significance of the lemmata, the peculiarities of the Latin of the papal letters and the biblical citations, and the historical context of the letters themselves. The lemmata and letter translations are augmented with introductions to each letter and a comprehensive historical commentary and glossary."
