The Birgittine-Norwegian texts are very distinctive from the main Birgittine vernacular corpus of literature and have taxed scholars for decades as to why and for whom they were written. The linguistic study of the manuscript is combined with contextual and historical information in order to reinforce the arguments made and offer explanations within a cultural context. This provides a welcome new dimension to earlier research that has otherwise been pursued to a large degree within a single academic discipline.Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions ;Volume 194.Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions.Texts & sources ;Volume 7.Private revelationsVisionsPrivate revelations.Visions.271.97Adams Jonathan531270Sweden.Riksarkivet.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825311303321The revelations of St Birgitta4058632UNINA05804nam 22007212 450 991100847750332120151002020704.01-282-79563-597866127956331-57113-733-510.1515/9781571137333(CKB)2670000000046776(EBL)3003853(OCoLC)923610217(SSID)ssj0000416784(PQKBManifestationID)11299062(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000416784(PQKBWorkID)10422992(PQKB)10271454(UkCbUP)CR9781571137333(MiAaPQ)EBC3003853(DE-B1597)674767(DE-B1597)9781571137333(EXLCZ)99267000000004677620120822d2009|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEncounters with Islam in German literature and culture /edited by James Hodkinson and Jeff MorrisonSuffolk :Boydell & Brewer,2009.1 online resource (269 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Studies in German Literature, Linguistics, and CultureTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015).1-57113-419-0 "cristen, ketzer, heiden, jüden": questions of identity in the middle ages / Timothy R.

Many of the early essays in this chronologically arranged volume uncover fresh evidence of how German writers used images of Islam-as-other to define their individual subject positions as well as to define the German nation and the Christian religion. The perspectives of many contemporary writers are, however, far removed from such a polar opposition of cultures. Their experience of the German-Islamic encounter is complicated by a crucial factor: many of them emerge from Muslim migrant communities such as the German-Turkish community. The culturally hybrid origins of these writers and their expression of experiences and ideologies that cross boundaries of East and West, Christendom and Islam, strongly affect the findings of the essays as the volume moves toward the present. The texts discussed include travelogues and other firsthand encounters with Islam; reports for colonial authorities; aesthetic treatises on Islamic art; literary, essayistic, and theological writing on Islamic religious practice; the incorporation of characters, situations, and settings from the Islamic world into fiction or drama; and fictional and autobiographical writing by Muslims in German.
