Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. The wealthy Katerina Lemmel entered the Maria Mai monastery in 1516--and rebuilt it. In Katerina's Windows, readers can observe how stained glass was donated and commissioned and witness spectators' reaction to it, ranging from critical aesthetic assessments to iconoclastic acts. The book presents historical texts and interpretive analysis. Katerina Lemmel and those around her are given voice through translations of seventy-three sources, including personal and business letters, chronicle accounts, and legal documents, most of which have never been transcribed or published before. Necessary explanations as well as theoretical considerations and critical insights are provided through the voices of the authors. Katerina Lemmel's letters allow glimpses into the materiality of monastic life; views of the interconnected workings of art, music, liturgy, and literature; evidence of the persuasive powers of a nun who functioned as negotiator; accounts of one woman's struggles on behalf of other women; and data on women's networks. The sources provide insiders' insights into the spiritual economies later scorned by Protestant reformers. They also offer an eyewitness account of the social challenges to this system that erupted in violent clashes during the Revolution of 1525. The material offers a fresh look at art and music made by and for nuns. Much previous literature has focused on nuns as mystics and visionaries, and on their art as primitive or mundane. This book demonstrates the roles of nuns as active agents for sophisticated art and innovative liturgical music. .…

343 S., broschiert. Condition: Wie neu. Band 4. Die Erforschung der Tropen nimmt innerhalb der musikwissenschaftlichen Mediävistik einen immer größeren Raum ein. Die Entwicklung verläuft inzwischen derart, daß Veröffentlichungen über Tropierungen Arbeiten über die entsprechenden Basisgesänge bei weitem in den Schatten stellen. Dies scheint einerseits in einer neuen, dem (vermuteten) Verständnis des Mittelalters angepaßten Bewertung der Gattung Tropus begründet, die den von semiologischer Seite immer noch aufrechterhaltenen Vorwurf der »Dekadenz« dieser Erweiterungen verneint; vielmehr werden, vor allem seit den Untersuchungen der 1960er Jahre, die vielfaltigen kreativen Möglichkeiten herausgestellt, die in dieser wohl ursprünglich karolingischen Gattung ein Ventil fanden. Andererseits trägt die inzwischen weit fortgeschrittene Erschließung des Textrepertoires in den Editionen des Corpus Troporum in Stockholm Früchte: Basierend auf der Kenntnis des Gesamtrepertoires, vor allem der Propriumstropen in den wichtigsten Festkreisen, sind Untersuchungen von abgegrenzten Bereichen, etwa Tropen zu einzelnen Festen, sinnvoll geworden. Minimale Gebrauchsspuren, einige wenige Bleistiftanstreichungen im Text. ISBN 3506706241 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…
