Christianitas: Eine Wortgeschichte Von Der Spatantike Bis Zum Mittelalter


Overview

English summary: The word ""christianitas"" arose as an abbreviation for the medieval idea of united Christendom, which entered the historical narratives concerning Christianity, the Papacy and emperorship, the crusades and Europe. In fact, in late Antiquity and the Carolingian period ""christianitas"" stood for many different concepts. In this volume Tim Geelhaar disconnects the term and the idea behind it and determines the situations in which it came to be used, how it was reprogrammed and politicized. He demonstrates the historical semantics behind ""christianitas"" as well as the plurality of Christianized, Latinized Europe. German description: Das Wort christianitas fand als Chiffre fur die mittelalterliche Idee der Christenheit Einzug in die Geschichtserzahlungen zu Christentum, Papst- und Kaisertum, Kreuzzugen und Europa. Tatsachlich wurde christianitas in der Spatantike und in der Karolingerzeit in verschiedenen anderen Sinnzusammenhangen verwendet. Tim Geelhaar entkoppelt Begriff und Idee und lotet Gebrauchssituationen, Umsemantisierungen und Politisierungen des Wortes aus. Die historische Semantik von christianitas, so zeigt diese Studie anschaulich, macht die Pluralitat eines christlichen, lateinischen Europas selbst sichtbar.
