Der Gnadenstuhl als interkonfessionelles Zentralthema

Zum "propitiatorium" in den Konfessionen und Medien der Frühen Neuzeit

Jonathan Rehr

Volume 22 in this series

The term "mercy seat," coined by Martin Luther, designates the lid of the Old Testament Ark of the Covenant, which Paulus typologically interprets as Jesus Christ in Romans 3:25. This volume examines the multimedial interpretative history of the motif of the mercy seat, which was extremely prominent in the early modern period, and examines to which extent this central topic developed in a process of interconfessional exchange.

Fiktion und Genre

Theorie und Geschichte referenzialisierender Lektürepraktiken 1870–1910

Benjamin Gittel

Volume 21 in this series

What is literature? What is fiction? What constitutes a particular genre? We cannot provide essentialist answers to these questions and instead have to examine the social practices in which people act when they read literary texts. This study sheds light on the history of the interconnected practices of literature, fiction, and genre, opening up new perspectives on the relationship between literature and reality.

Philologia Sacra und Auslegung der Heiligen Schrift

Studien zum Werk des lutherischen Barocktheologen Salomon Glassius (1593–1656)

Armin Wenz

Volume 20 in this series

The Jena Hebrew scholar and Gotha superintendent Glassius was known for his monumental work of hermeneutics Philologia Sacra (1623–1636). The study initially focuses on Glassius’ presentation and theological take on biblical grammar and rhetoric. There follows a detailed review of his figurative interpretations of the Old Testament, specifically including the exegetical, edifying, and homiletic works of the Baroque theologian.

Ordo inversus

Formen und Funktionen einer Denkfigur um 1800

Andrea Albrecht, Franziska Bomski, Lutz Danneberg

Volume 19 in this series

Employed since antiquity across a wide range of disciplines, the figure of thought known as ordo inversus suffers a loss of plausibility in the modern period. The transformation of its forms and functions resonates in multiple ways across the arts but also the natural sciences and humanities. Its study offers significant insights into the systematization and history of historical epistemology.

Hermeneutiken

Bedeutung und Methodologie

Lutz Danneberg, Andrea Albrecht, Carlos Spoerhase

Volume 18 in this series

Die metahermeneutische Untersuchung widmet sich dem Interpretationsproblem und damit einer grundlagentheoretischen Frage aller textinterpretierender Disziplinen. Der Analyse der text- und zeichentheoretischen Prämissen des Interpretationsproblems, entfaltet als Problem der Beliebigkeit von Interpretationen, folgen Erörterungen zu verschiedenen Formen der Bedeutungszuweisung (Bezeichnung, Exemplifikation, Analogisierung) und zum Aufbau von Bedeutungskonzeptionen. Um zwischen zulässigen und unzulässigen Interpretationen angemessen unterscheiden zu können, bedarf es Kriterien des Vergleichs und der Bewertung von Interpretationen. Diese Kriterien lassen sich nur im Rahmen einer gewählten Bedeutungskonzeption festlegen, die auch die interpretationsrelevanten Kontexte selegiert und hierarchisiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird eine methodologische Lösung des hermeneutischen Zirkels entwickelt. Die Studie wendet sich an interpretationstheoretisch interessierte Leserinnen und Leser aller Disziplinen.

Phänomenologie und Textinterpretation

Studien zur Theoriegeschichte und Methodik der Literaturwissenschaft

Jørgen Sneis

Volume 17 in this series

Phenomenology has shaped the history of literary studies in a variety of ways. This work reconstructs the central moments of phenomenology’s reception in the field, with special emphasis on the theory of interpretation. In doing so, it both contributes to the history of literary studies and provides an analysis of philological hermeneutics.

book: Luther's Epistle of Straw

Luther's Epistle of Straw

The Voice of St. James in Reformation Preaching

Jason D. Lane

Volume 16 in this series

This work challenges the common consensus that Luther, with his commitment to St. Paul's articulation of justification by faith, leaves no room for the Letter of St. James. Against this one-sided reading of Luther, focused only his criticism of the letter, this book argues that Luther had fruitful interpretations of the epistle that shaped the subsequent exegetical tradition. Scholarship's singular concentration on Luther's criticism of James as "an epistle of straw" has caused many to overlook Luther's sermons on James, the many places where James comes to full expression in Luther's writings, and the influence that Luther's biblical interpretation had on later interpretations of James. Based primarily on neglected Lutheran sermons in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this work examines the pastoral hermeneutic of Luther and his theological heirs as they heard the voice of James and communicated that voice to and for the sake of the church. Scholars, pastors, and educated laity alike are invited to discover how Luther's theology was shaped by the Epistle of James and how Luther's students and theological heirs aimed to preach this disputed letter fruitfully to their hearers.

Existentialisierung der Dialektik in der lutherischen Orthodoxie

Daniel Bolliger

Volume 15 in this series

The reception of Neo-Aristotelianism by the Lutheran Orthodoxy has received little scholarly attention with regard to its practical effects on the church. Giacomo Zabarella’s discussion of methods provides a structural framework for the influential sermons and works of Johann Conrad Dannhauer (1603–1666).

The significance of the Bible for the Reformation is undisputed. Employing various perspectives, this volume reflects on biblical interpretation and hermeneutics during the time of the Reformation. It discusses the Wittenberg Reformers (Luther and Melanchthon) and the Reformed (including Bullinger, Calvin, and Bucer), along with their cross-connections to Erasmus, the Baptists, and the Christian reception of Jewish biblical interpretation.

Zum Spannungsverhältnis von Dichtung und philologisch-historischen Wissenschaften im 19. Jahrhundert

Mark-Georg Dehrmann

Volume 13 in this series

As the modern philological sciences were just emerging, poets were well educated – most of them had studied philology, and thus understood its claims to knowledge and its methods. The fertile and intensive interaction between literature and science that took place in this era is the subject of this book. It explores the interface between literary history and the history of the modern philological sciences.

Ethos und Pathos der Geisteswissenschaften

Konfigurationen der wissenschaftlichen Persona seit 1750

Ralf Klausnitzer, Carlos Spoerhase, Dirk Werle

Volume 12 in this series

This book examines the ways that texts from the humanities have fostered particular approaches to knowledge by constructing different versions of a ‘scientific ethos’. The studies contained in this volume reveal how and why different forms of scientific ethos have developed since the mid-18^th century. The studies also illuminate associated styles of rhetorical argumentation.

Interpretation und Rationalität

Billigkeitsprinzipien in der philologischen Hermeneutik

Thomas Petraschka

Volume 11 in this series

This study examines the relationship between the interpretation of fictional literary texts and hermeneutic equity, which is a core interpretive principle in general hermeneutics and language philosophy. To accomplish this, the author reconstructs a formal and substantive definition of a specific philological principle of equity along with the conditions under which a charitable interpretation should be avoided.

Hebraistik – Hermeneutik – Homiletik

Die „Philologia Sacra“ im frühneuzeitlichen Bibelstudium

Christoph Bultmann, Lutz Danneberg

Volume 10 in this series

In the 16th century philological competence and theological dynamics led to a new appreciation of the Bible as the foundation of the Christian Church. As a result the question of hermeneutics became an important chapter of theological controversy. The studies presented in this volume analyse the argumentative form of the early modern Philologia Sacra and how it was influenced by apologetic impulses in the formation and rendition of ecclesiastical doctrine. Particular attention is paid to Salomon Glassius as the most representative author of the Philologia Sacra in Lutheranism.

Torbjörn Johansson, Robert Kolb, Johann Anselm Steiger

Volume 9 in this series

Scholars of the history of theology and the humanities from North America, Scandinavia and Germany investigate Biblical hermeneutics from its foundations laid during the Reformation (Luther, Melanchthon) to its multifaceted effects during the 16th and 17th centuries. This book specifically focuses on the diversity of the art of exegesis as exemplified in theological textbooks, sermons and the divine service.

Der Begriff der Dichtung in der Frühen Neuzeit

Volkhard Wels

Volume 8 in this series

In the first section the study reconstructs the reception of Aristotle's Treatise on Poetry and the genesis of the concept of fiction. In the second part it reconstructs the history of the concept of inspiration, which around 1500 was still understood to be divine expression, but which in the course of the 16th and 17th century was reinterpreted to mean the specific talent of the poet. At the beginning of the 18th century this later evolved into the concept of genius. While fictionality became the defining feature of the novel, the specific inspired writing style became the main characteristic of poetry.

Unsicheres Wissen

Skeptizismus und Wahrscheinlichkeit 1550-1850

Carlos Spoerhase, Dirk Werle, Markus Wild

Volume 7 in this series

In this book, authors from a variety of disciplines examine how the interpretative disciplines deal with the lack or loss of certainty for their signs and texts. The focus is on forms of scepticism and theories of probability in the period from 1550 to 1850 which make it possible to access conceptualisations of “uncertain” or “weak” knowledge. Using historical source-material, the volume takes up impulses from research into probability and scepticism.

Anthropologien

Genese und Konfiguration einer 'Wissenschaft vom Menschen' in der Frühen Neuzeit

Simone de Angelis

Volume 6 in this series

The formation of anthropological knowledge in the Early Modern Age arose from the interaction of the disciplines of psychology, anatomy, physiology and natural law which set up a fundamental discourse on the nature of man from the Renaissance until the late Enlightenment. With this, the image of what people saw as human "nature" underwent a change. It was now based on insights into the links between man's biophysical and mental structures, which produced imagination and memory and empowered him to act morally and to produce "culture".

Autorschaft und Interpretation

Methodische Grundlagen einer philologischen Hermeneutik

Carlos Spoerhase

Volume 5 in this series

The focus of this study is provided by the concept of ‘authorship’ and its significance for the interpretation of literary texts. After reviewing various, at times controversial, conceptions of ‘author’ and ‘authorship’, the study develops the thesis that the concept of author performs a decisive function in the historical positioning of a literary work, and that the recourse to the author is necessary whenever the conformity of literary texts to a norm plays a role in the hermeneutic process.

"Ars corrigendi" in der frühen Neuzeit

Studien zur Geschichte der Textkritik

Klara Vanek

Volume 4 in this series

Under the maxim Ars corrigendi, it was discussed in the Early Modern period how authentic versions of texts could be extracted from ancient literature, as the texts in the manuscripts had been affected by many slips of the pen and other editorial revisions which they had endured on their long journey of tradition during the Middle Ages. The current study reconstructs instructions from the 16th century which demanded the corrector’s knowledge of the history of writing and an appropriate method for the laborious work. Ars corrigendi is the fundamental technique with which the science was first able to obtain access to the exemplary sources, and therewith to the ancient world itself.

Zur Literaturgeschichte kritischer Kommunikation vom 17. bis ins 20. Jahrhundert mit Studien zu Klopstock, Tieck, Goethe und George

Steffen Martus

Volume 3 in this series

The topic of the study is literary criticism. The work shows how critical attitudes have taken root since the 17th century and how the uncertainty of those involved has increased as a result. One of the particular strategies used by authors and readers in reacting to this uncertainty is a certain form of attentiveness: the readiness to observe works exactly and extensively and to not allow oneself to be distracted by flaws in the process. At the same time, this attitude of attentiveness forms a characteristic of philology which arises from critical discourse.

Hermeneutik und Bibelexegese beim jungen Goethe

Thomas J. Tillmann

Volume 2 in this series

The work presents the degree to which early Goethe is affected by the debate concerning biblical exegesis. Goethe provides concept-theoretical paradigms particularly on pietism, which he uses in a playful way in the development of his concept of genius. The "reborn in Christ", who is granted merciful understanding and whose rapture erupts in speaking in tongues, becomes a template which is used to characterize the relationship between impression and expression, hermeneutics and aesthetics.
