    21 febbraio 1954

    Rudolf Simek è un germanista e filologo austriaco il cui lavoro si addentra nel ricco tessuto della letteratura e della mitologia medievale. Esamina meticolosamente testi, leggende e credenze religiose germaniche antiche, cercando di svelare i significati nascosti e i contesti culturali che hanno plasmato le società dell'Alto Medioevo. L'approccio di Simek è caratterizzato da un rigoroso'analisi filologica e da uno studio comparativo. Ciò gli consente di offrire ai lettori nuove prospettive su questi affascinanti e spesso poco esplorati aspetti della storia culturale.

    • For two-and-a-half thousand years, from 1500BC to 1000AD, a culture as significant as the classical civilization of the Mediterranean world settled an immense area in northern Europe that stretched from Iceland to the Black Sea. But whereas the stuff of classical mythology has been fully absorbed into the cultural history of the west, the mythology of northern Europe - Scandinavians, Goths, Angles and Saxons - is often enigmatic.

    • In this fascinating book Dr Simek shows that though nature was thought to be permeated by the will of God, there were numerous explanations for unknown phenomena, from the simple theories of the early middle ages to the more sophisticated ideas of the centres of learned scholasticism in Paris and Oxford. He presents a cross-section of the medieval knowledge of the physical world as deliberated and discussed by authors from the 9th to the 15th centuries.

      This volume compiles papers from a conference held at the University of Bonn from October 7-9, 2010, organized by the Department for German and Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, Scandinavian Section. It includes two additional papers presented at an earlier conference in March 2009 at the University of Cambridge, which inspired the Bonn event. The Cambridge conference focused on the trilateral relations between Ireland, the British Isles, and Scandinavia, highlighting cultural exchanges in the Early Middle Ages. In contrast, the Bonn conference shifted its focus to the interactions between Ireland, the Western European mainland, and Scandinavia, emphasizing cultural contacts facilitated by the Hiberno-Scottish missionary movement. Many papers explored themes of hagiography and the evolution of religious writings. The discussions primarily centered on the relationships among these regions in literature and learning, while also examining the social and political dynamics of elite interactions from various perspectives.

      Religion und Mythologie der Germanen
    • Nachdem die Germanen lange als Identifikationsfiguren der Deutschen herhalten mussten, präsentiert Simek den heutigen Kenntnisstand: nicht ein Volk, sondern viele, nicht eine urgermanische Sprache, sondern eine Sprachenfamilie, nicht eine Religion, sondern viele Formen des Polytheismus und die erstaunliche Bereitschaft zur Bekehrung zum Christentum, nicht eine Geschichte als Gegner des römischen Reichs, sondern viele Formen von Nachbarschaft, Rivalität und angetretener Nachfolge des Imperiums.
