For the first time, a large multi-volume edition work will reflect practices of the monarchy in the 19th century.
In international perspective, this edition of primary sources presents previously unpublished archival documents for further research. The Prussian example illustrates the strategies and reactions of European monarchies when they had to adapt to a changing society. Effective integration achievements as well as their limits become tangible. The first volumes are focusing on the different functions of court members, on deciders and the forms of decision making at the court. Other volumes will highlight e.g. the performative practices at the Prussian court as they were shaped in competition processes and by cultural transfer from neighboring European countries.
Die Reihe soll einen privilegierten Publikationsort für zukunftsweisende, auch interdisziplinäre und kulturell übergreifende Studien bieten, die nicht nur die Mittelmeerwelt, sondern auch gemeinsam und in Wechselwirkung mit ihr die zentralasiatische Landmasse umfassen, die durch archäologische Methoden jetzt wesentlich besser erforscht werden kann als noch vor zwanzig Jahren. Die Reihe ist offen für deutsch- und englischsprachige Publikationen.
Die Beiträge zur Reihe werden durch einen internationalen wissenschaftlichen Beirat mittels peer reviewing geprüft.
Einen wichtigen Bestandteil des kritischen Werkes von August Wilhelm Schlegel (1767–1845) machen die akademischen und öffentlichen Vorlesungen aus, die er seit Beginn seiner Vorlesungstätigkeit an der Universität Jena im Jahre 1798 bis zu seinem Tod gehalten hat. Unter ihnen sind – vor einer großen und erlesenen Zuhörerschaft vorgetragen – am bekanntesten die Berliner Vorlesungen über schöne Literatur und Kunst (1801–1804), die neben einer Kunstlehre wichtige Darstellungen der antiken und der romantischen Literatur enthalten, sowie die Wiener Vorlesungen Über dramatische Kunst und Litteratur (1808), die man wegen ihrer lebhaften Rezeption in allen europäischen Ländern die »Botschaft der deutschen Romantik an Europa« genannt hat. Hinzu kommen die Vorlesungen über philosophische Kunstlehre von 1798/99, die Vorlesungen über Encyklopädie von 1803 und sämtliche überlieferten akademischen Vorlesungen aus der Periode der Bonner Lehrtätigkeit von 1819–1844, die ein breites Spektrum an Gegenständen abdecken: Akademisches Studium, alte Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte, antike, mittelalterliche und neuere Sprache und Literatur.
Ein Großteil dieser Vorlesungen hat sich in August Wilhelm Schlegels Handschrift erhalten, andere sind in Mitschriften seiner Hörer überliefert. Eine kritische Gesamtausgabe von Schlegels Vorlesungen, die bisher nur zum Teil gedruckt vorlagen, wird hier zum ersten Mal vorgelegt.

Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, kommen in den Beiträgen zur Komparativen Theologie Theologen und Theologinnen bzw. Gelehrte verschiedener religiöser Traditionen miteinander und mit Vertreterinnen und Vertretern der Religions- und Kulturwissenschaften ins Gespräch, um so im interdisziplinären Gespräch die religionsbezogene Forschung zu vertiefen und im Methodenspektrum zu erweitern. Dabei werden gesellschaftlich brisante und für das interreligiöse Gespräch zentrale Fragestellungen ausgewählt und theologisch bearbeitet. Der Vergleich über Religionsgrenzen hinweg soll auf diese Weise Orientierungsleistungen für Menschen heute erbringen und das dialogische Profil der Theologien schärfen.
The book series, Contributions to Comparative Theology, stimulates the conversation of theologies of different religions and provides a forum for the newly developing research field of Comparative Theology. It advances ways to fathom and understand other religions, in which the diversity of another’s religious view of the world is adequately acknowledged without impermissibly relativizing the truth claims of one's own religion. At the same time, the series portrays real debates between Christian theologies and non-Christian worldviews, showing the ways in which a friendly pursuit of the one truth can be charted without compromising the integrity of one’s own religious commitments. Finally, by working hermeneutically, this series contributes to a better understanding of the differences that lie across religious boundaries. These efforts are underlined by the awareness that getting to know each other better is also helpful to arrive at a better understanding of one’s self and to deepen one's thinking about God – or ultimate reality.
To achieve these goals, theologians of various religious traditions come together in conversation with each other and also with representatives of religious and cultural studies. In the ensuing interdisciplinary dialogue, understandings of religion are deepened and expanded as socially and religiously challenging issues and topics, particularly those that feature prominently in interreligious conversation, are investigated theologically to reveal the unique contribution that Comparative Theology can make to advancing a civil dialogue and a civic culture. Theological investigations across disciplinary and religious boundaries thus provide resources for sharpening the dialogical profile of different theologies through the medium of Comparative Theology.
The new book series Biblische Argumente in öfffentlichen Debatten, aims at the power of thinking and diffferentiation of biblical texts and books and the Bible as a whole in current contexts and conflicts. The Bible is the book of critical and self-critical rethinking, which it expresses with the Greek motto metánoia. The Bible is not the book of the church, but a book for the world in its reality, beauty, threat and openness, especially in times of political populism and global uncertainty. The publications which will appear in this series are intended to intervene in church, cultural and social debates on the questions and opportunities of the present. They are intended to help the theologians, pastors, teachers and all those interested in the life relevance of biblical texts.
Biblische Zeitschrift, one of the leading international journals in Biblical Studies, calls researchers to submit excellent monographs and conference volumes in German, English and French for its newly founded series "Biblische Zeitschrift Supplements" (BZ Sup). This new peer-reviewed series aims to further the understanding of the Biblical texts of the Old and the New Testament. Subjects may include philological or text-critical issues, questions of historical and cultural contextualization including the analysis of intertestamental and deutero-canonical literature, or develop literary, hermeneutical or theological issues. Studies in the history of reception of Bible texts are also welcome. BZ Sup is open both to contributions from established researchers and to innovative hiqh-quality work of younger colleagues in the exciting, ever-developing field of Biblical Studies.
