Sommario/riassunto

This book describes the latest modalities such as tau PET imaging for diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and also provides information on handling and analyzing imaging data that is



not found in other books. In addition, it introduces routine imaging studies in the management of dementia in Japan. The prevalence of dementia has increased over the past few decades, either because of greater awareness and more accurate diagnosis, or because increased longevity has created a larger population of the elderly, the age group most commonly affected. Although only clinical assessment can lead to a diagnosis of dementia, neuroimaging in dementia is recommended by most clinical guidelines, and its adjunct role has traditionally been to exclude a mass lesion rather than to support a specific diagnosis. Neuroimaging may be also helpful for developing new strategies to achieve diagnoses as early as possible for therapies aimed at slowing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases manifesting dementia. Under these conditions, all clinicians and researchers who are involved in neuroimaging for dementia should decide which patients to scan, when imaging patients is most useful, which modality to use, how to handle imaging data from many institutions, and which analytical tool to use. This edition comprises contributions from leading Japanese experts in their fields.

Sommario/riassunto

In 1215/1216, Thomasin von Zerklaere composed his Welscher Gast ("The Italian Guest"), the earliest comprehensive book of court etiquette written in German. Up until the Early Modern Age, the work was



frequently copied and widely disseminated. Its uniqueness lies not least in the fact that it was, from early on, transmitted together with an extensive cycle of images. This volume brings together studies from Art History, Literary Studies and Musicology into the sources, the didactic concept, the transmission of images, and the reception of Thomasin's poem as well as into how it might be employed in present-day German language and literature classes. It proposes to replace the author-centered approach to the Welscher Gast with an approach that consistently focuses on the history of its transmission.

In den Jahren 1215/1216 verfasste Thomasin von Zerklaere mit dem Welschen Gast die erste umfassende Verhaltenslehre in deutscher Sprache. Bis in die Frühe Neuzeit hinein wurde das Werk vielfach abgeschrieben und weiterverbreitet. Eine Besonderheit stellt es auch deshalb dar, weil es schon früh in der Überlieferung mit einem umfangreichen Bilderzyklus versehen wurde. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Studien aus Kunst-, Literatur- und Musikwissenschaft zu den Quellen, der didaktischen Konzeption, der Bildüberlieferung und der Rezeption von Thomasins Werk sowie zu den Möglichkeiten seines Einsatzes im Deutschunterricht der Gegenwart. Er schlägt vor, an die Stelle eines autorfixierten Blicks auf den Text-Bild-Verbund des Welschen Gastes einen konsequent überlieferungsgeschichtlichen treten zu lassen.
