Loccum zählt zu den bekanntesten und besterhaltenen niedersächsischen Klöstern. Vermutlich 1163 durch die Grafen von Hallermund gegründet, konnte der Zisterzienserkonvent bis etwa 1330 umfangreichen Grundbesitz erwerben: In der Umgebung zwischen dem Steinhuder Meer und der Weser entstand eine geschlossene Grundherrschaft, weitere Schwerpunkte lagen nördlich des Klosters bis in die Grafschaft Hoya hinein, bei Wunstorf und Rinteln, zwischen Deister, Süntel und Leineniederung sowie rund um Oedelum. Der umfangreich erhaltene Urkundenbestand, der nicht zuletzt die bedeutende Ausbauphase des Klosters widerspiegelt, ist Gegenstand des vorliegenden Werkes. Es liefert zuverlässige Kurzregesten und Abschriften von über 1600 Urkunden vom ausgehenden 12. bis in das späte 16. Jahrhundert. Das Urkundenbuch wird durch einen geschichtlichen Überblick eingeleitet und durch ausführliche Register erschlossen. Der Band setzt die Reihe der niedersächsisch-bremischen Urkundenbücher fort, deren Herausgabe zu den langfristigen Arbeitsschwerpunkten der Historischen Kommission gehört. (Verlagsinformation)

"The crusading movements provoked a vast and diverse mass of reactions in the medieval West. While Latin sources provide official versions of its preaching, organisation and events, the vernacular lyrics of the troubadours and trouvères present a secular perspective, through a cornucopia of on-the-spot responses in France, Occitania, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, Cyprus, Syria and Greece. This book constitutes the first comprehensive, modern analysis of Old French and Occitan lyric texts relating to the crusades. It brings out their full range, from propaganda for the crusades, to criticisms of crusading and crusaders through vituperation, humour or cynicism, to their use as a pretext for political or personal wrangling. It also shows how they shed light on many aspects of medieval life, among them chivalric and courtly values (often in tension with clerical ones), regional politics, sexual behaviour, personal experiences of crusading and captivity, the complex interaction of Christians, Greeks and Muslims, and bafflement in the face of failure and God's imponderable purposes"--Back cover image

In the Main City of Gdańsk, a certificate of the city council's control over the legal guardians of children who lost one or both parents, are two books of minors from 1441-1460 and 1451-1460. The supervision of the registers of this type was exercised by the masons. These entries included entries regarding the property of minors entrusted by their guardians to the municipal council for safekeeping. These books also show the further fate of funds belonging to minors and financial operations carried out by their guardians (eg investments in the pension market). They are also an interesting source for research on Gdansk's financial policy in the times of political change, such as the Thirteen Years' War

"Two Medieval Toll Registers from Tarascon presents an edition, translation, and discussion of two vernacular toll registers from fourteenth and fifteenth-century Provence. These two registers are a valuable new source for the economic, linguistic, and transportation history of medieval France, offering a window onto the commercial life of Tarascon, a fortified town on the east bank of the Rhône between Avignon and Arles. William D. Paden discusses the developing fiscal policy of the counts of Provence, for whom the tolls were collected, and the practice and vocabulary of medieval toll-keeping. An afterword considers the toll registers in relation to the poetry of troubadours, arguing that the realism of the registers and the idealism of troubadour poetry overlapped in the world of medieval Tarascon.
