The complex relationship between women and arms in Europe, from Roman times to about 1200, is reexamined in light of literary traditions, historical records, and the modern preoccupation with women warriors that inevitably inflects historical judgments. Overall, the issue has suffered from a scarcity of hard evidence and an abundant politics of interpretation. Some historical examples indicate an acceptance of female hereditary governance in Europe during the early middle ages, including the command of troops. Yet many historians have greeted the idea of a woman wielding a sword in battle with skepticism. Figures such as Boudicca who led a revolt against the Romans in Britain, the Anglo-Saxon queen Aethelflaed, and the later women who fought in the crusades, or defended their own property, have been politicized. Narratives like that of the Old Testament Judith and the Nibelungenlied became ideological tools to raise the alarm about phallic women. By the thirteenth century, Saxon law declared that a widow must immediately surrender her husband's sword to the male heir. Female fighters were increasingly vilified, culminating in the accusation of heresy against Joan of Arc, and her execution.

Rethinking the boundaries of Europe is an earnest exercise that calls for critical reconsideration of our existing spatio-temporal constructions. First of all, it should be established that this kind of an exercise does not only necessitate a re-mapping of the cartographical space within which "Europe" is placed, but more so a re-thinking of the intellectual space within which history is situated.

"Of all the illustrations depicting a section of the earth's surface, the first to resemble the actual circumstances closely are Medieval sea charts known as Portolan charts. These depictions appeared quite suddenly in the thirteenth century and exhibit a conspicuous chordal network, a linear system based on the point of the wind. Mathematical investigations of the coastlines shown on these sea charts have revealed an astonishing degree of precision in comparison to modern charts. It is not known what methods were used to determine the geodetic foundations for the Portolan works. The question of authorship leads back to Roman and Hellenistic antiquity, and it is not impossible to imagine a set of circumstances that could have allowed these mysterious documents to survive ancient times and be handed down through the generations to the Medieval period."

Die Arbeit widmet sich der Geschichte der Juden in den "niederen Landen" von ca. 1200 bis um 1520, mit einem Epilog über die Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts. In der Hauptsache werden dabei die Landesherrschaften Hennegau, Brabant und Geldern in vergleichender Perspektive betrachtet. - Teil I beschreibt die Siedlungsgeschichte von den Anfängen um das Jahr 1200 über die Verdichtung des Niederlassungsnetzes bis zur Katastrophe der Jahre 1349-50 und weiter bis in die Zeit der spätmittelalterlichen Vereinzelung von Juden und ihres Ausweichens unter kleinere Herrschaften. - Teil II bietet neue Bausteine für eine Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte der jüdischen Geldleihe, welche auch in den mittelalterlichen Niederlanden der bestimmende Erwerbszweig der Juden war. - Teil III widmet sich ausführlich den Judenverfolgungen des 14. Jahrhunderts - dem "Kreuzzug" von 1309, der Verfolgung zur Zeit des "Schwarzen Todes" 1349-50 und der Brüsseler Hostienfrevelaffäre von 1370. Wichtige, weiterführende Ergebnisse bietet vor allem die Analyse der Quellen über die Katastrophe zur Zeit der Pest. - Teil IV spürt den historischen Veränderungen des christlichen Judenbildes und den Entstehungs- und Verbreitungsformen verschiedener judenfeindlicher Legenden (Ritualmord, Bilder- und Hostienschändung) im Untersuchungsraum nach. - Die im zweiten und vor allem im vierten Teil gemachten Beobachtungen werden abschließend im Hinblick auf die Frage nach dem Einfluss der Bettelorden reflektiert. Dabei wird ein Modell entworfen, in dem diese Orden vor allem in ihrer Vermittlerfunktion wirksam waren; entscheidend war auch in diesem Zusammenhang der Faktor Herrschaft. ; This study is devoted to the history of the Jews in the Low Countries from c.1200 to around 1520 (with an epilogue on the mid-sixteenth century). It mainly compares the territories of Hainaut, Brabant, and Guelders. - Part I outlines the history of Jewish settlement from c.1200 through the period of its greatest density before the calamties of 1349-50, and further on to the time of late-medieval isolation of individual Jews and their evasion into small territories. - Part II offers new elements towards the social and cultural history of Jewish moneylending - the dominant trade of Jews in the medieval Low Countries as elsewhere. - Part III contains an in-depth analysis of the persecutions against Jews in the fourteenth century: the "crusade" of 1309, the Black Death persecution of 1349-50, and the host desecration affair of Brussels in 1370. Far-reaching new conclusions are reached in the analysis of the plague pogroms. - Part IV traces the historical change in the Christian image of the Jew and analyses the rise and spread of anti-Jewish libels (ritual murder, image and host desecration) in the Low Co9untries. - The observations made in parts II and IV are finally reflected in view of the role of the mendicant orders. The author proposes a model in which the mendicants are regarded as agents of communication; the more decisive factor must be seen in political rule.
