Bernhard Schöfferlin's 'Römische Historie' (Roman History) (1505) is the first description of early Roman history in German which was compiled using predominantly ancient sources. Planned and written in the circle of the court of Württemberg under Eberhard the Bearded, it shaped the literary image of Rome at that time (Hans Sachs, Jakob Ayrer u.a.). Based on a text analysis of a selection of passages (kingship, class struggles etc), the work studies the nature of Schöfferlin's historiography and puts it in the context of the efforts influenced by humanism to write history.

Rezensionen

Perlentaucher-Notiz zur F.A.Z.-Rezension

Zu Schöfferlins "Römischen Historie" gibt es eine brauchbare Untersuchung bereits seit 1987, wie Gerrit Walther anmerkt. Das Verdienst der Autorin liege darin, diese bestehende Interpretation "aus literaturwissenschaftlicher Sicht" zu ergänzen und gelegentlich zu präzisieren. Gelungen!, meint Walther mit Hinweis auf die Akribie der Arbeit und dem Fehlen jeglicher literarischen Ambition bei der Autorin. Die abschließende Bemerkung allerdings, dies entspräche ganz dem "Stil einer deutschen Doktorarbeit", verheißt nicht eben wunschlose Zufriedenheit.

»Carla Winter does a fine job in this book of preserving the integrity of Bernhard Schöfferlin's Roman History, as she offers persuasive and nuanced analyses of his methodology, sources, and underlying purpose. Her work is a welcome contribution to a largely overlooked area of late medieval/early modern German studies.« Erica Bastress-Dukehart, The Sixteenth Century Journal »[The book] must be recommended as a work of sound research that contributes to a better understanding of its author.« Gerhard Helmstaedler, Moreana
