Jewish Emancipation In A German City : Cologne, 1798-1871

  • Jewish Emancipation In A German City : Cologne, 1798-1871

  • Attribution

    Shulamit S. Magnus

  • Publication Details

    Book, Stanford University Press, 1997

  • Description

    This work seeks to understand how, in nineteenth-century Germany, Jews and non-Jews shaped and experienced Jewish emancipation, a process whereby Jews were freed from ancient discriminatory laws and, over the course of decades, became citizens. The book reveals how such Jews responded to the lure of equality and the pressures of continued discrimination in their business and private lives, and shows how their response fostered a new, positive perception of Jews as honorable people deserving of civic inclusion.

  • Stories Of The Rose : The Making Of The Rosary In The Middle Ages

  • Attribution

    Anne Winston-Allen

  • Publication Details

    Book, Pennsylvania State University Press, 1997

  • Description

    An illustrated history of the medieval origins of the rosary. The book makes for fascinating and educational reading and gives an important dimension to the rosary as we honor it today.”?The Catholic Observer ?Winston-Allen?s intriguing work sheds light on [the rosary?s] beginnings and explores how the rosary survived when many other devotional exercises of the Middle Ages did not, why it becamse so popular (even at the height of the Protestant Reformation), and how it was changed over time by writers, worshipers, and religious reformers. Far-reaching in its effects, the rosary was a tremendous source of inspiration for writers and artists, who created scores of rosary books, testimonial anecdotes, legends, songs, and poems. Stories of the Rose elegantly shows us how a religious practice such as the rosary, whose form may seem fixed, actually grew and changed gradually in response to the very people who were practicing it.
