This edition of the laws promulgated by successive Anglo-Saxon rulers over a period of five centuries was published in three volumes between 1903 and 1916 by the German historian Felix Lieberman (1851-1925), and is still regarded as authoritative. This unique body of early medieval legal writing, unparalleled in other Germanic languages, provides valuable source material for scholars of Old English and of legal history, and Lieberman's thorough engagement with the manuscripts has never been surpassed. His preface explains that owing to factors such as the extreme variability of Old English orthography, and the existence of both Latin and Old English versions of the same material, a traditional edition using just one base manuscript with a critical apparatus would have been too unwieldy. Volume 1 introduces the manuscripts, and gives several parallel versions of each text in Old English and Latin with a facing translation into modern German. Frederick Attenborough's The Laws of the Early English Kings (1922) is also reissued in this series

Seit den jüngsten Verfolgungen der Jesiden im Irak ist die religiöse Minderheit fast täglich Thema von Nachrichten und Presse - aber grundlegende Informationen und Medien zu ihrer Kultur und Religion sind rar. Das vorliegende Buch, zweisprachig in Deutsch und Kurdisch erschienen, ist kein religionspädagogisches Buch, sondern ein Dialog und Wissensaustauch des Autors Jan Ilhan Kizilhan mit jesidischen Kindern und Jugendlichen. Da es an schriftlichen Quellen fehlt, sind in der Kultur der Jesiden vor allem mündliche Überlieferungen von Bedeutung. Um vor diesem Hintergrund zuverlässiges Wissen zu sichern und auch Menschen mit anderen Glaubens- und Denkhaltungen zugänglich zu machen, hat Jan Ilhan Kizilhan in Gesprächen mit jesidischen Kindern und Jugendlichen Antworten zu drängenden Fragen jesidischer Menschen gesucht. Neben Fragen zu Geschichte und Religion geht es dabei ebenso um Kriegs-, Trauma- und Migrationserfahrungen. Auch für Nicht-Jesiden ein einzigartiges Buch für das gegenseitige Verstehen und die Kenntnis zu tagespolitischen Ereignissen. Für ältere Kinder und Jugendliche verständlich, genauso jedoch für Erwachsene interessant ohne Vergleichstitel. Wichtig für alle Büchereien! (Susanne Brandt)
