‎Summary Historical writing has shaped identities in various ways and to different extents. This volume explores this multiplicity by looking at case studies from Europe, Byzantium, the Islamic World, and China around the turn of the first millennium. The chapters in this volume address official histories and polemical critique, traditional genres and experimental forms, ancient traditions and emerging territories, empires and barbarians. The authors do not take the identities highlighted in the texts for granted, but examine the complex strategies of identification that they employ. This volume thus explores how historiographical works in diverse contexts construct and shape identities, as well as legitimate political claims and communicate 'visions of community'.

‎Summary In many countries in Northern and Eastern Europe, the period after 1000 saw the emergence of new Christian kingdoms. This process was soon reflected in works of historiography that traced the foundation and development of the new polities. Many of these texts had a lasting impact on the formation of political, ethnic, and religious identities of these states and peoples. This volume deals with some of these earliest histories narrating the past of the new polities that had emerged after 1000 in Northern, East Central, and Eastern Europe, as well as in the Adriatic regions. They have often been understood as 'national histories', but a closer look brings out the differences in their aims and construction. One question addressed here is to what extent these historians built on models of identification developed in earlier historiography. The volume provides an overview of several fundamental texts in which identities in the new Christian kingdoms were negotiated, and of recent research on these texts.

‎A matching set of four lovely and delicate watercolour drawings each depicting a young lady in a fancy German costume drawn and painted on vellum by the Augsburg artist Catharina Sperling Heckel 1699-1741. She learned painting and drawing from her father the Augsburg goldsmith Michael Heckel engraving from Johann Ulrich Kraus and married the engraver Hieronymus Sperling 1695-1777 in 1725. It is not clear whether she made these drawings shortly before or shortly after her marriage. She is best known for her ca. 1728 miniature portrait of Charles Edward Stuart Bonnie Prince Charlie the young pretender to the English throne. She never recovered from the birth of her first child in 1741 dying within a few weeks. Each drawing shows a young German lady wearing a long gown and a cap or bonnet but one also carries a hat. The four drawings differ in the style of the gowns and other elements.In very good condition. With a few small chips in the paint of the frame. Lovely watercolour costume drawings of four young German ladies perhaps from a court wedding in the free Imperial city of Augsburg.l Cf. Thieme & Becker XVI pp. 208-209. hardcover‎
