This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to the Aldine edition of the Ancient Greek epistolographers. Published in Venice in 1499 by Aldus Manutius, the Aldine edition was the first printed edition of most of the thirty-six Greek letter collections that it contains. As such, it embodies the intersection between the medieval epistolary anthologies that predated it and the printed editions of Greek epistolographic collections that followed, which were primarily based on its text. In recent decades, the Aldien edition has been the subject of important works, which have sought to analyse its contents and sources. This issue explores the Aldine edition from three perspectives: its relationship to the epistolary collections found in medieval manuscripts, its relationship to the printed editions that followed it and its legacy and value for the modern scholar studying Ancient Greek epistolography.

"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.
This book explains not who the Jesuits were, but how their awareness of having become Jesuits was constructed. It does so on the basis of a collection of documents which have often been referred to as ‘autobiographies’, in fact individual members’ accounts of how they received their calling. Each Jesuit had to describe in writing how the divine call had come to him, what signs had preceded it and how he had broken away from his ‘fleshly’ family to become a member of the Company. Their acute awareness of the definitive nature of the close pact they had established with God by becoming members of the army of the Lord, made the Jesuits new, unusual figures, unprecedented in the history of Christian religious orders: men trained to carry out arduous missions into the most distant countries of the world, in contact with unknown cultures, without any weakening of their ties with the Company; a classic case is Matteo Ricci. Accepting their calling meant adopting a special life, characterized by a modern form of asceticism: a total break with the past and their families, a readiness to go wherever they were sent, as new apostles.
Peter Schreier died on 25 December 2019 in Dresden. As a tenor and conductor he had a unique effectiveness all over the world. This included countless encounters with personalities of international and regional musical life. The volume "Begegnungen mit Peter Schreier" bears witness to this and to his charisma. Conductors and musicians, singers, pianists, a composer and many others report in a mosaic-like manner on very different aspects of their collaboration: in concert and opera, in rehearsals and recordings as well as in their personal surroundings. Both renowned personalities and music creators of younger generations have taken up the pen in 2020. They offer an impressive reflection of Peter Schreiers, who enjoyed working with young musicians. This also creates a colourful image of Peter Schreier as a person. For decades he has been able to reach his listeners in the depths of their soul and move them inwardly. The 29 commemorative texts are joined by four speeches on the awarding of prizes to Schreier, either objectifying or personal. Three texts verbalise Schreier's view of Bach, the central composer of his life since his time in the Dresdner Kreuzchor, as well as his activities in the musical country of Austria and Japan. The volume is rounded off with speeches in the farewell service for Peter Schreier on 8 January 2020 in the Kreuzkirche in Dresden and a selection of pictures.
