Written not long before Vasari's famous Lives of the Artists (1550), the “Codex of the Anonimo Magliabechiano” offers an overview of art from Cimabue to Michelangelo. First published in the late nineteenth century, the Codex has triggered numerous questions, the main one being: who authored it? The editors of this richly illustrated new edition believe to have found the answer.

J Heyde wrote a fantastic review about François Guesnet and Jerzy Tomaszewski's source-reader. The book invites to encounter the world of one thousand years of Jewish self-government in eastern Europe.

Translated into English from Hebrew, Latin, Yiddish, Polish, Russian, German, and other languages, in most cases for the first time, the sources illustrate communal life, the interdependence of civil and religious leadership, the impact of state legislation, Jewish-non-Jewish encounters, reform projects and political movements, but also Jewish resilience during the Holocaust.

Curious about historical how-to books? From soap making to metallurgy, practical guides on diverse subjects flooded the book market in the early printing era. How did people learn from these books? Who used them and why? Some key issues addressed in "Tracts of Action" include the traces of book use, the media shift from manuscript to print, the interaction between text and image, and the praxeological dimension of practical books.
Self-help literature not only made it possible for interested laypersons to obtain information from all possible fields of knowledge; as "tracts for action" they differed from other genres in that they were consistently oriented towards implementation.

Can a scientific instrument be regarded as a failure? Why and how? Failures can have multiple reasons, and the assessment of scientific devices may change over time — some surprisingly becoming more successful. In addition to studies of how technical features led to failure, the authors of "Failed Historical Scientific Instruments" examine the roles played by social bias and behavior, commercial and economic circumstances, and political factors.

"Calculating Ethics in the Fourteenth Century" examines a pivotal moment in history of ethics, when advances in natural philosophy blurred the lines between the possible and the impossible, leading to new discussions on practical reason. This volume explores the rise and spread of a movement that applied methods and arguments from logic and natural philosophy at Oxford, eventually influencing ethics beyond the university. The book highlights how the Oxford Calculators initiated a lasting transformation in ethical thought.

As we do today, the Greeks and Romans struggled to communicate their pain: this required a rich and subtle vocabulary which had to be developed over time. "Pain Narratives", edited by Jacqueline Clarke, Daniel King, and Han Baltussen, traces the development of this language in literary, philosophical, and medical texts from across antiquity: poets, physicians, and philosophers contributed to an ever-growing lexicon to articulate their own and others’ feelings.

The historical debate on anti-Semitism and racism in Germany also has a tradition dating back to the post-war period, which for a long time was very marginalised and then became increasingly important and was always closely interwoven with the cycles of discrimination, violence and the subsequent social responses. Overall, both phenomena have been neglected by historical research for too long, and the reasons for this are probably only partly due to the decades-long focus on National Socialist racism in the period up to 1945. Recently, this gap has become acutely clear, as since the murder of George Floyd and the global rise in criticism of racism, the social need for debate seems to far exceed the existing knowledge of contemporary history.

How can kinship encounters be a useful tool for the study of medieval Islamic societies, institutions and interactions?

This special issue of volume 30 of the journal “Medieval Encounters” provides an overview of familial kinship in different contexts. From kinship encounters in an early Islamic community to the construction of kinship among Christians in al-Andalus, many perspectives are considered. Through a series of case studies, the editors show the role of kinship encounters in shaping identity markers, dictating communal agendas, and fulfilling social and religious absorbing and assimilating roles.
