In this volume, guest editors Philippe Buc and Thomas D. Conlan use oaths as the pivotal point for their comparative thematic section. Focusing on the differences and similarities between Japanese and European oath-taking and oath-breaking practices during the medieval period, on terminology and on chronology, Philippe Buc provides an introduction that contextualises the studies in this collection. For Japan, Yoshikawa S. and T.D. Conlan give insights into the development of the written oath (kishōmon) from its predecessors and origins in the third to sixth centuries to the sixteenth century, M. Gilbert and Horikawa Y. provide case studies of kishōmon in the heyday of its use. For Western Europe, S. Esders outlines the development of oaths from Late Antiquity to the tenth century under Christian doctrinal influence. In three case studies, H. Reimitz, H. Débax and O. Richard illustrate the use of oaths in the Early, High and Late Middle Ages. 



In our individual articles section, E. Worrall, R. Kramer and T. Grant offer a new edition and commented translation of an Icelandic fragment of the Nikuláss saga erkibiskups, the Saga of Bishop Nicholas.



“medieval worlds” provides a forum for comparative, interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Its aim is to overcome disciplinary boundaries, regional limits and national research traditions in Medieval Studies, to open up new spaces for discussion, and to help developing global perspectives. We focus on the period from c. 400 to 1500 CE but do not stick to rigid periodization. medieval worlds is open to submissions of broadly comparative studies and matters of global interest, whether in single articles, companion papers, smaller clusters, or special issues on a subject of global/comparative history. We particularly invite studies of wide-ranging connectivity or comparison between different world regions. Apart from research articles, medieval worlds publishes ongoing debates and project and conference reports on comparative medieval research.

In this volume we introduce the debate as a new format in Medieval Worlds. Scholars are invited to contribute to current topics of interest either with an essay or with comments to this essay. The series is opened with a lively discussion of the concept of “state” in medieval studies and offers contributions by B. D. Shaw, N. Di Cosmo, S. Gasparri and C. La Rocca, H.-W. Goetz, J. Haldon, Y. Stouraitis and R. Le Jan.

M. Wiesinger, C. Jackel and N. Orban discuss first results of their ground-breaking ERC project Arithmetic, in which German mathematical treatises from the Late Middle Ages are studied. The second stand-alone contribution by A. Wareham compares English and Chinese sources with regard to peacemaking around the turn of the 11th century. The second instalment of our thematic section on Knowledge Collaboration among Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, and Muslims in the Abbasid Near East (guest editor N.P. Gibson) presents further studies on textual evidence of “other” (religions) as well as insights into possible uses of digital tools in this context.

In the stand-alone article of volume 17, J. Preiser-Kapeller and E. Kislinger combine natural scientific data and historical research on atmospheric and climatic phenomena of the 8th and 9th centuries to provide new interpretations for the events between the blinding of the Byzantine emperor Constantine VI (797 AD) and the coronation of the Frankish king Charlemagne in 800 AD. The thematic section delves into the intricacies of medieval knowledge cooperation: Five contributions investigate possible evidence for the exchange of knowledge between figures belonging to different religious traditions in the Near East/Middle East during the reign of the Abbasid caliphate from 7th to the 13th century CE: Muslim-Zoroastrian (K. Dang), Christian-Muslim (J. Jakob, M. Pimpinelli), Muslim-Jewish (I. Sánchez) and Muslim-Christian-Jewish (R. Gareil). An introductory contextualisation by guest editor N. Gibson and two reports about projects on knowledge collaboration in the medieval Middle East (T. Carlson and J. Mutter; C. Palombo) complement this section.

This is the first special issue of "medieval worlds". This format has been introduced to provide a platform for publishing the proceedings of conferences and specially edited collections of studies which not only form a thematic unit but also engage in comparative or interdisciplinary discourse with each other. Special issues will be published in addition to the regular volumes, apart from the usual publication dates of 1 July and 1 December.

The present volume was organised by guest editors D. Mahoney, D. Ó Riain and G. Vocino. It contains seven case studies which examine medieval biographical collections from different cultural and religious backgrounds – Buddhist (R. Langelaar), Christian (R. Kramer, D. Ó Riain, G. Vocino, G. Ward, and V. Wieser) and Muslim (J. Heiss and D. Mahoney). Their findings form the basis of three comparative chapters, in which the authors of the case studies present aspects of comparison which emerged in their collaborative discussions, namely compilation strategies (D. Mahoney and D. Ó Riain), writing strategies (R. Langelaar, G. Vocino and V. Wieser) and audience and reception (R. Kramer and G. Ward). Introduction and conclusion form an overall framework that provides the reader with a broader comparative overview.

Diese dreibändige Publikation mit 1739 Seiten und 42 Beiträgen widmet sich der Stellung der Völkerkunde aus Wien während der NS-Zeit, im Exil und im „Dritten Reich“. Im Fokus stehen institutionelle und biographische Netzwerke sowie ideengeschichtliche Aspekte. Dies bringt akademische Fachgeschichte vor dem Hintergrund der generellen sozio-politischen Zeitgeschichte im damaligen zentraleuropäischen, aber eben auch im internationalen Kontext, systematisch zur Darstellung. Das Spektrum umfasst dabei nicht nur die zentrale Völkerkunde/Ethnologie, sondern auch wichtige Nachbarfächer von Physischer Anthropologie über Ur- und Frühgeschichte bis hin zu Volkskunde, Afrikanistik und Japanologie. Wesentliche Fragestellungen des Bandes sind ausgerichtet auf die Art von Forschungen der Völkerkunde in und aus Wien und auf deren Wechselbezüge zur jeweiligen Politik. Beleuchtet wird damit zum einen das Ausmaß der Beteiligungen an verbrecherischen Aktivitäten zur NS-Zeit, zum anderen inwieweit das Fach in Aktivitäten des Widerstands gegen das NS-Regime eingebunden war. Besonderes Augenmerk wurde auf die Herausarbeitung feiner Nuancen innerhalb der manchmal fließenden Übergänge zwischen Anpassung und Widerstand gelegt. Für die Bearbeitung der Beiträge, an denen 28 Autor/inn/en mitwirkten, wurden insgesamt mehr als hundert verschiedene Archive in zehn Ländern genutzt. Publizierte oder selbst initiierte Interviews mit Zeitzeugen und Familien-Angehörigen ergänzten die Archivforschungen in einigen noch möglichen Fällen. Der Dreibänder bietet auch einen aussagekräftigen Index und mehr als 250 anschauliche Bildquellen, die der Öffentlichkeit zumeist erstmals zugänglich gemacht werden. This publication of 1739 pages in three volumes with 42 contributions is focused on anthropology from Vienna during the Nazi years, inside the „Third Reich“ and in exile. Institutional and biographic networks as well as aspects of intellectual history are at the core of these investigations. They systematically present the history of an academic discipline within the general socio-political Central European and wider international contexts of those times. Beyond “Völkerkunde”/socio-cultural anthropology at the centre of investigation here, its wider range also includes important neighboring fields such as physical anthropology, archeological prehistory, folklore studies and African as well as Japanese studies. The present publication’s crucial research questions pursue the varieties of anthropological projects in and from Vienna, and their intersections with corresponding political interests. In these ways the extent of involvement in criminal Nazi activities is highlighted, while participation in the anti-Nazi resistance also is outlined. Special attention is given to the fine nuances between adaptation and resistance. These contributions by 28 authors required documents’ assessments from more than one hundred archives in ten different countries. These were supplemented by published or initiated interviews with eye witnesses and family members wherever still possible. These three volumes are enriched by a helpful index in several parts and by more than 250 visual source materials, many of them publicly accessible here for the first time.

The present volume contains three stand-alone articles, which provide interdisciplinary and comparative insights into topics ranging from a text edition of a 9th century Cambodian religious stela (D. Goodall and Ch. Hun); to Byzantine and Chinese gardens in comparison (C. Virag and F. Spingou); and to a world map of a Christian Iberian manuscript (P.S. Marschner). J. Tolan presents an interim report on the activities of the multi-institutional team in the ERC SyG project EuQu, exploring the various roles of the Qur’ān in European cultural history. All further articles are assembled in two thematic sections: Movement and Mobility in the Medieval Mediterranean: Changing Perspectives from Late Antiquity to the Long-Twelfth Century was organised by guest editors C. Heath, C. Gantner and E. Manarini and, with the further contribution by F. Veronese and G. Zornetta, explores how evidence of movement and mobility can be used to trace the exchange of cultures, of ideas and products. The section Ideologies of Translation, III – Multilingual Sermons under guest editor J. Odstrčilík was introduced in volume 12, 2020 and is now augmented by studies of N. Stam, G. Knight, J. Odstrčilík and H. Halmari employing philological, linguistic, palaeographic and historical methods on different types of evidence for multilingual preaching.

MEDIEVAL WORLDS provides a new forum for interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Specifically it encourages and links comparative research between different regions and fields and promotes methodological innovation in transdisciplinary studies. Focusing on the Middle Ages (c. 400-1500 CE, but can be extended whenever thematically fruitful or appropriate), MEDIEVAL WORLDS takes a global approach to studying history in a comparative setting.

MEDIEVAL WORLDS is open to regular submissions on comparative topics, but also offers the possibility to propose or advertise subjects that lend themselves to comparison. With a view to connecting people working on related topics in different academic environments, we publish calls for matching articles and for contributions on particular issues.

MEDIEVAL WORLDS provides a new forum for interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Specifically it encourages and links comparative research between different regions and fields and promotes methodological innovation in transdisciplinary studies. Focusing on the Middle Ages (c. 400-1500 CE, but can be extended whenever thematically fruitful or appropriate), MEDIEVAL WORLDS takes a global approach to studying history in a comparative setting.

MEDIEVAL WORLDS is open to regular submissions on comparative topics, but also offers the possibility to propose or advertise subjects that lend themselves to comparison. With a view to connecting people working on related topics in different academic environments, we publish calls for matching articles and for contributions on particular issues.

Ahmed: An Interim Report on the Editorial and Analytical Work of the AnonymClassic Project medieval worlds provides a forum for comparative, interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Its aim is to overcome disciplinary boundaries, regional limits and national research traditions in Medieval Studies, to open up new spaces for discussion, and to help developing global perspectives. We focus on the period from c. 400 to 1500 CE but do not stick to rigid periodization.

medieval worlds is open to submissions of broadly comparative studies and matters of global interest, whether in single articles, companion papers, smaller clusters, or special issues on a subject of global/comparative history. We particularly invite studies of wide-ranging connectivity or comparison between different world regions.

Apart from research articles, medieval worlds publishes ongoing debates and project and conference reports on comparative medieval research.

MEDIEVAL WORLDS provides a new forum for interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Specifically it encourages and links comparative research between different regions and fields and promotes methodological innovation in transdisciplinary studies. Focusing on the Middle Ages (c. 400-1500 CE, but can be extended whenever thematically fruitful or appropriate), MEDIEVAL WORLDS takes a global approach to studying history in a comparative setting.

MEDIEVAL WORLDS is open to regular submissions on comparative topics, but also offers the possibility to propose or advertise subjects that lend themselves to comparison. With a view to connecting people working on related topics in different academic environments, we publish calls for matching articles and for contributions on particular issues.

„Southwest Arabia across History“ ehrt das Vermächtnis von Walter Dostal als einem der bedeutendsten kontinental-europäischen Gelehrten im Bereich der Südarabien-Forschung, indem dieser Band innovative Beiträge zu diesem interdisziplinären Feld vorlegt. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze sind von Expert(inn)en verfasst, die den Feldern der vorislamischen Epigraphik und Archäologie ebenso angehören wie jenen der regionalen Geographie und Islamischen Geschichte, der Zeitgeschichte sowie der Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie. Diskutiert werden zentrale Rätsel und packende Themen der Südarabien-Forschung – wie etwa die Wechselbeziehung zwischen Text und Zeitumständen, Umwelt und Wirtschaft, Wasser-Management und Recht, Konflikt und Friedensvermittlung oder Tribalismus und Staatsgefüge. Über seine Relevanz für regionalkundliches historisches und zeitgeschichtliches Fachwissen hinaus vermittelt dieser Band auch ein lebhaftes und neuartiges Zeugnis von praktischer und methodischer Interdisziplinarität in den Human- und Sozialwissenschaften Southwest Arabia across History honors the legacy of Walter Dostal as one of Continental Europe’s most eminent scholars in these fields, by offering innovative contributions in the interdisciplinary fields of South Arabian studies. These texts are presented by experts in pre-Islamic epigraphy and archeology, regional geography and Islamic historical studies, as well as contemporary history and socio-cultural anthropology. They discuss central riddles and key issues in South Arabian studies, such as interrelations between texts and contexts, environment and economy, water management and law, conflict and mediation for peace, or tribalism and state constellations. Beyond its relevance for regional historical and contemporary expertise, this volume also represents a lively and fresh contribution to methods and practices of interdisciplinarity in the humanities and the social sciences.
