A Cultural history of childhood and family: v.1: In antiquity; v.2: In the Middle Ages; v.3: In the early modern age; v.4: In the age of Enlightenment; v.5: In the age of empire; v.6: In the modern age

The author analyzes the main stages of the research process conducted by domestic historians in the sphere of the European rulers’ power sacralization in the Middle Ages and early Modern Age. The author estimates the level of interest of Soviet and Russian specialists for the issue, determines the coherence between this issue actualization, formation of new scientific approaches and objective research conditions, as well as prevailing methods, concepts and theories of historic science. It is indicated that study methods have transformed due to a change of conjuncture and possibility to use West-European experience, where socio-cultural history has been developed by the use of postmodern trends, anthropology data and interdisciplinary approaches for historic past. The author estimates the contribution of contemporary Russian medievalists into power sacralization studies and describes the most significant domestic specialists in the field, their methods and works.

The Middle Ages

Throughout times, magic and magicians have exerted a tremendous influence, and this even in our (post)modern world (see now the contributions to Magic and Magicians in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Time, ed. Albrecht Classen, 2017; here not mentioned). Allegra Iafrate here presents a fourth monograph dedicated to magical objects, primarily those associated with the biblical King Solomon, especially the ring, the bottle which holds a demon, knots, and the flying carpet. She is especially interested in the reception history of those symbolic objects, both in antiquity and in the Middle Ages, both in western and in eastern culture, that is, above all, in the Arabic world, and also pursues the afterlife of those objects in the early modern age. Iafrate pursues not only the actual history of King Solomon and those religious objects associated with him, but the metaphorical objects as they made their presence felt throughout time, and this especially in literary texts and in art-historical objects.
