Abstract

"This book is an institutional and social history of the equestrian order (ordo equester) in the Roman world. It charts the history of the equestrians (equites) in their various guises from the eighth century BC to the fifth century AD. We begin with the mounted aristocracy of the Regal period and the cavalry of the early Republic, as the Romans regarded as these warriors as the ancestors of the later equestrian order. The order itself only emerged as a constituent status group within the Roman state (res publica), distinct from both the senate and the plebs, in the late second century BC. Membership of the equestrian order in the Republican period included tax-collectors, businessmen, jurors, and military officers. The equites Romani were distinguished by their own status symbols, such as gold rings and the tunic with a narrow stripe, ceremonies with religious and political meaning, and privileges such as front-row seats of the theatre. In the age of the emperors, the ranks of the equites included governors, financial administrators and other officials, as Augustus and his successors gave them an important role in the management of the res publica alongside senators"--

Abstract

Married Life in the Middle Ages, 900-1300 contains an analysis of the experience of married life by men and women in Christian medieval Europe, c. 900-1300. The study focusses on the social and emotional life of the married couple rather than on the institutional history of marriage, breaking it into three parts: Getting Married - the process of getting married and wedding celebrations; Married Life - the married life of lay couples and clergy, their sexuality, and any remarriage; and Alternative Living - which explores concubinage and polygyny, as well as the single life in contrast to monogamous sexual unions. In this volume, van Houts deals with four central themes. First, the tension between patriarchal family strategies and the individual family member's freedom of choice to marry and, if so, to what partner; second, the role played by the married priesthood in their quest to have individual agency and self-determination accepted in their own lives in the face of the growing imposition of clerical celibacy; third, the role played by women in helping society accept some degree of gender equality and self-determination to marry and in shaping the norms for married life incorporating these principles; fourth, the role played by emotion in the establishment of marriage and in married life at a time when sexual and spiritual love feature prominently in medieval literature

Abstract

Centraal in dit nummer van Nieuwe Tijdingen staan de evolutie en vormgeving van festiviteiten in de vroegmoderne Nederlanden. Daarbij belichten de auteurs feesten van allerlei aard, bijvoorbeeld als gevolg van de Reformatie of de Franse Revolutie. Ze onderzoeken de rol van traditie en innovatie bij feestelijk vertier, de weergave en verslaggeving van feestelijkheden in media en kunsten, de rol van materiële cultuur in festiviteiten en de rol van veranderende normen en waarden met betrekking tot feestvieren in uiteenlopende sociale milieus. Zowel elitaire festiviteiten als vormen van volksvermaak komen aan bod. Zo gaat het onder meer over vorstelijke intredes, carnavalsvieringen, feestmaaltijden, loterijen, ‘kwelspelen’ en illuminaties.
