Marius Eppel (eds.) Connecting Faiths and Nationalities
A Social History of the Clerical Profession in Transylvania (1848-1918)
This book examines the socio-professional background of the clergy in Transylvania, between 1848 and 1918, with a view to offering a comprehensive perspective on the clerical profession across various religious denominations. During the modern period, Transylvania was integrated in the Habsburg Empire and, as of 1867, in Dualist Hungary. As such, it represented a meeting ground for different ethnic groups and denominations. The prerogatives of the clergy could surpass their primary calling as spiritual leaders. They gradually assumed the role of intercessors between communities, higher ecclesiastical institutions, the government, and local authorities.

Poland and the Origins of the Second World War
A Study in Diplomatic History (1938–1939)
This monograph deals with Polish foreign policy shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. In tracing the diplomatic activity of foreign minister Józef Beck, it discusses six general problems: (1) the Polish political situation under the pressure of appeasement; (2) the project of Intermarium and efforts to implement it; (3) the action against Czechoslovakia and the conflict with the Soviet Union; (4) the Polish attitude towards the German concept of Gesamtlosung in Germany’s relations with Poland; (5) the genesis of the Polish alliance with Great Britain; (6) the Allies’ military inaction after Nazi Germany’s aggression.

A Human in the Face of Borderliness and Urbanisation in Juba, South Sudan
The subject of the study is the spontaneous city spreading process of Juba after the end of the civil war in South Sudan (2005). The book presents the complex dynamics of transformations within the new urban settings of post-war Juba. The viewpoint taken while describing these phenomena is the adaptation of an average migrant to a new urban environment. This was not an easy task. At that time the city was characterised by extremely harsh living conditions, harsh even for post-war South Sudan. Despite the difficulties, the city’s development was visible.

Schwedische Einwanderer zwischen Akkulturationsprozess und “cultural maintenance” in Seattle/Washington State, 1885−1940
Im Zuge des Akkulturationsprozesses kam es bei den schwedischen Einwanderern in Seattle/WA zu Konflikten und Problemen. Zeitgleich gab es Versuche, das vermeintlich schwedische kulturelle Erbe zu bewahren (cultural maintenance). Der Schwedisch-Amerikanismus war für sie ein erfolgreicher Weg, sich in der amerikanischen Gesellschaft zu verorten. Richard Maher (eds.) The Irish to the Rescue

Jerzy Pysiak• Sylwia Twardo The King and the Crown of Thorns
Kingship and the Cult of Relics in Capetian France
In 1239, King Louis IX of France performed the translation of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople to Paris. The translation celebrations became a splendid religious festivity showing sacral foundations of Saint Louis’s authority and the Capetian kingship. However, the translation of the Crown of Thorns to France had already a history under Louis’s reign: French hagiographers and chroniclers affirmed that the first relics of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople were transferred to Aachen by Charlemagne, then to Saint-Denis Abbey by Charles the Bald.

The Agency of Art Objects in Northern Europe, 1380–1520
This monograph book offers a new interpretation of northern European art of the fifteenth century. The author presents it as a conglomerate of objects-things which act on the recipient in a specific – material and spatial – way. He analyzes macroscale objects that impose movement on the viewer, and micro-scale objects that encourage manipulation.
