Donation of Constantine and Constitutum Constantini. The Misinterpretation of a Fiction and Its Original Meaning (Millennium-Studien/Millennium Studies/Studien ... Studies/Studien Zu Kultur Und) (Gebundene Ausgabe) von Johannes Fried, Wolfram Brandes Synopsis: The "Donation of Constantine" is the most outrageous and powerful forgery in world history. The question of its precise time of origin alone kept generations of researchers occupied. But, what exactly is the "Donation of Constantine"? To find the answer, it is necessary to approach the question on two different semantic levels: First, as the "Constitutum Constantini", a fictitious privilege, in which, among other things, rights and presents were bestowed on the catholic church by a grateful Emperor Konstantin. Secondly, as a reflection of the Middle Age mindset, becoming part of the culture landscape midway through 11th century A.D. The author not only reinterprets the origin of this forgery (i.e. puts it down to the Franks' opposition of Emperor Louis the Pious), but retells, as well, the history of its misinterpretation since the High Middle Ages. In an appendix, all relevant texts are printed in the original language, an English translation is provided. Rezensionen ansehen...   Angebote zu  Donation ,  Constantine ,  Constitutum  ab 1 Euro!
