The volume inquires into the formal aspects and the achievements of genealogical thinking in the Middle Ages and early modern age with reference to art history, early German studies and the history of science and ideas. Central to the endeavour is a reconstruction of a thought-form enabling contemporaries to organize and assure the availability of knowledge in all kinds of areas and use it to legitimize and demonstrate power.

Genealogie als Denkform in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit

Aspergillus fumigatus has become one of the most important fungal human pathogens in industrialized countries. It causes different diseases like allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, aspergilloma, and invasive aspergillosis depending on the underlying disease as well as the immunological status of the host. A. fumigatus is today one of the most threatening aerial fungal pathogens because nosocomially acquired invasive aspergillosis typically occurs in the treatment setting for hematological malignancy. With the increasing number of immuno-compromised individuals such as AIDS and cancer patients or transplant recipients, systemic Aspergillus infections are often life-threatening with a very high mortality rate even after anti-mycotic therapy. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the classical and molecular techniques used in the isolation, analysis, diagnosis, and the identification of potential virulence factors of A. fumigatus. The pathogenesis and clinical presentation, the epidemiology and the therapy of A. fumigatus infections are discussed extensively. Compiling the most up-to-date information available, this volume will be a useful reference source for both clinical investigators and basic research scientists.

The studies collected in this volume examine previously undervalued and undiscovered aspects of Rist's multi-facetted oeuvre. In a series of essays, renowned authors from the fields of literary and music history, church history, and the history of science and hymnology assess Rist's role as a communicator while revealing the heterogeneity of his creative work and the wide range of his influence.

Profil und Netzwerke eines Pastors, Dichters und Gelehrten

Johann Rist (1607-1667)

Erstmals wird mit diesem Band eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Übersicht über das Gesamtwerk Johann Rists geboten, wobei zahlreiche neue Erkenntnisse zu Tage treten. Die Beiträge erkunden das Schaffen eines der führenden Literaten des deutschen Sprachraums der Frühen Neuzeit. Hierbei finden die geistliche und weltliche Dichtung genauso Beachtung wie die Dramatik, die Naturkunde, die Kasuallyrik, musik- und gesangbuchhistorische Aspekte, die Relevanz des Niederdeutschen, die politischen Diskurse bis hin zur druckgraphischen Ausstattung von Rists Publikationen. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Einbettung Rists in die gelehrten literarischen Netzwerke (Martin Opitz, Simon Dach, Andreas Tscherning, Sigmund von Birken u.a.) sowie der Wirkung von Rists Dichtung in Gesangbüchern, auf der Bühne und in der Neolatinität. Auf diese Weise werden wichtige Einsichten gewonnen, die dazu beitragen, das Profil eines in der Vielfalt seiner Interessen einzigartigen poeta doctus präziser zu bestimmen.

This study is devoted to music drama, which with its formal diversity was the dominant theatrical genre in German-speaking countries between 1680 and 1740. The study focuses on the problems thematized in contemporary discourses on opera in connection with the declared intention of theatre to have a direct effect on the senses. Central to this perspective are the issues posed by the concerted and contradictory impact of the arts and the senses they appealed to, the changes in the functions of the sense of taste and of touch, and the role of the senses in ceremonial contexts.
