Only by the beginning of the 16th century, the "Meistergesang" develops explicit poetics of rules. In the early anonymous "Meistergesang" of the 14th and 15th century, poetological contemplations are exclusively expressed by the singable scripts themselves. The present study edits and analyses "Bare", that address poetizing and lead to the identification of generic, linguistic and metaphoric features of poetology.
This volume presents for the first time a systematic study of the urban developments of pre-and early Roman Numidia. The author discusses both recent and older data from surveys and excavations. By means of autopsy, own fieldwork and the presentation of new diachronic city plans, the astonishingly early complexity of Numidia's cityscapes is visualized. Houses, workshops, sanctuaries, funerary habits and economic developments are analyzed according to their continuities, ruptures and innovations. Through the focus on microregional/local evidence and by breaking with the accepted bipolar acculturation models, a fundamental reevaluation of North Africa's so-called dark age and the identity discourses of that period is called for.
