Dieser Band der Miscellanea Mediaevalia ist einem Jahr gewidmet: 1308. Die Wahl dieses Jahres scheint arbiträr, denn dieses Jahr zählt ‑ abgesehen von wenigen markanten Ereignissen wie dem Templerprozess oder dem Tod des Johannes Duns Scotus ‑ nicht zu den prominenten Jahren. Der Band wagt ein historiografisches Experiment, indem er gegenüber einem Entwicklungsmodell, das die Aufmerksamkeit auf vermeintliche Höhe- und Wendepunkte lenkt, sich jenen Momenten im Schlagschatten dieser "lauten" Ereignisse zuwendet. Die Fragestellung des Bandes, der auf die 36. Kölner Mediävistentagung zurückgeht, will daher neue Perspektiven eröffnen, indem sie einlädt, Sehgewohnheiten in Frage zu stellen, zu schärfen, zu verlängern ‑ anhand eines Jahres und auch über dieses Jahr und seine historische Peripherie hinaus. Die Aufmerksamkeit richtet sich, beginnend bei einer lokalen Detailaufnahme, auf verschiedene thematische und methodische Facetten: Ereigniswahrnehmung, auch mit Blick auf die Erschließung neuer Welten, Johannes Duns Scotus in Kontext, Theologie in Paris, Philosophie in Italien, Medizin und Poetik, die Grenzen Europas, Orthodoxie und Häresie, 1308 im Spiegel der Künste, aus jüdischer und islamischer Sicht.

"The relationship between Jews and Christians and between Judaism and Christianity during the 13th and 14th century is a matter of concrete and contingent historical circumstances; and its ideological elements are inherent in pre-modern Catholicism and pre-modern Rabbinical Judaism. Indeed, both St. Paul and the Rabbis are typical revolutionary figures of late antiquity who present themselves as the authentic interpreters of old sacred writings. Throughout the ages, the interpretation of the Sacra pagina remained at the very center of Chris-tian and Jewish theology involving hidden or manifest polemics against the rival interpretation.
Still, this fundamental and fixed element did not prevent dramatic changes in the concrete historical manifestations of Judaism and Christianity. Nowhere else, the parallel developments in both religions were as spectacular, often even traumatic, as in Italy, France, Spain, and Germany, where Jewish communities had existed since late antiquity; and where Jews and Christians had developed stable forms of coexistence. These were severely shaken by the dramatic events that marked the ascendancy of European hegemony beginning with the first crusade at the end of the 11thcentury.

In 1998, an elected government was voted out of office for the first time in postwar Germany (through parliamentary elections). The Social Democrat-Green coalition's electoral mandate was surprisingly large, but not as surprising as the rapid decline of approval for the government & its policies in its first year. Relying on empirical survey data, it is noted that support for the Social Democrats & the Greens is fluid & changes over time; decreasing support for the Social Democrats has occurred for personal & individual reasons & as a reaction to legislation such as the 630DM bill & the law against apparent self-employment. The current government's shrinking mandate may stem from a regular shift in the electoral cycle, but may also result from the disintegration of the voter coalition that helped Gerhard Schroder win in 1998: traditional Social Democratic voters & the centrist "Neue Mitte" ("New Center") voters who are committed to modernization. 2 Tables, 3 Figures, 9 References.
