De dertiende-eeuwse "Rijmbijbel" van Jacob van Maerlant (KBR, ms. 15.001) is het oudste geïllustreerde handschrift in het Nederlands. Het boek bvat een berijmde hervertelling van de Bijbel, gevolgd door een geschiedenis van de Joodse opstand tegen de Romeinen, ruim na het leven van Jezus. Het handschrift is rijkelijk geïllustreerd, met niet minder dan 159 kostbare miniaturen. Door de beroemde auteur, het luxueuze karakter en het artistieke niveau van de verluchting krijgt het meteen een plaats tussen de internationale topstukken uit die periode. Experts geven in de inleidende essays een toelichting voor een breed publiek. In welke tijd en context is het handschrift ontstaan ? Waaruit is het vervaardigd ? Hoe is het geïllustreerd ? Wie waren de bezitters ? En hoe is het bekend geworden ? Dan volgt een afbeelding in kleur van elke miniatuur, vergezeld van de relevante tekst in oorsponkelijk en hedendaags Nederlands én van een kort commentaar dat de lezer wegwijs maakt.

In the densely populised Low Countries, with their powerful and self-conscious cities, historical consciousness was expressed in various ways. Cases of regional historiography have been well-studied, but more local instances of historiographical production have remained more or less unnoticed. In ten articles with an extensive introduction, this volume places the local historiography in this region in a European perspective. It brings to the attention new material from a wide variety of cities and sets the standard for future research.This volume aims at taking the first steps towards a revaluation of urban historiography in Northwest Europe, including rather than excluding texts that do not fit common definitions. It confronts examples from the Low Countries to well-studied cases abroad, in order to develop new approaches to urban historiography in general. In the authors' view, there are no fixed textual formats, social or political categories, or material forms that exclusively define ‘the urban chronicle'. Urban historiography in pre-modern Western Europe came in many guises, from the dry and modest historical notes in a guild register, to the elaborate heraldic images in a luxury manuscript made on commission for a patrician family, to the legally founded political narrative of a professional scribe in an official town chronicle. The contributions in this volume attest to the diversity of the ‘genre' and look more closely at these texts from a broader, comparative perspective, unrestrained by typologies and genre definitions. It is mainly because of these hybrid guises, that many examples of urban historiography from the Low Countries for instance succeeded in going unnoticed for a considerable amount of time.-- Information provided by publisher.

In recent political and constitutional history, scholars seldom specify how and why they use the concept of territory. In research on state formation processes and nation building, for instance, the term mostly designates an enclosed geographical area ruled by a central government. Inspired by ideas from political geographers, this book explores the layered and constantly changing meanings of territory in late medieval and early modern Europe before cartography and state formation turned boundaries and territories into more fixed (but still changeable) geographical entities. Its central thesis is that analysing the notion of territory in a premodern setting involves analysing territorial practices: practices that relate people and power to space(s). The book not only examines the construction and spatial structure of premodern territories but also explores their perception and representation through the use of a broad range of sources: from administrative texts to maps, from stained glass windows to chronicles.
