The Early Modern Stage-Jew: Heritage, Inspiration, and Concepts. With the first edition of Nathaniel Wiburne’s «Machiavellus» (Kulturelle Identitäten / Cultural Identities)

This book investigates the contemporary conceptions of the Jewish figure on the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage. Taking on what has been said about Shakespeare’s Shylock and Marlowe’s Barabas in the last centuries, the author analyses seven other, largely ignored plays to enhance the image we have today of the early modern stage-Jew. In tracing the image of Jewish figures in medieval literature and in early modern travel reports, the foundation of the Elizabethan idea of ‘Jewishness’ is laid out. Further, the author challenges some arguments which have become axiomatic over time, such as the notion of the red-haired, hook-nosed comical villain. The book also contains a first edition of the Latin university play «Machiavellus» by Nathaniel Wiburne, accomplished by Michael Becker and Saskia Zinsser-Krys.

You are Royal: Angelic Affirmations for Remembering Your True Heritage

The sincerest wish of every angel in heaven is that you remember who you are.

An affirmation on its own is a powerful thing. However, flexing the muscle of an affirmation with the conscious expression of your own words, thoughts and experiences is a transformative thing. Use this affirmational journal to not only absorb the powerful messages in each affirmation, but to accentuate them tenfold by the expressions of your own creation. 

Descendant 

You are a descendant 
Of the most high 
Born in the light 
Of the central sun 
Of creation 
The child of a royal line 
That stretches beyond 
The borders 
Of your conceived 
Time and space 
Your birthright 
Endows you 
With the eternal light 
Of your royal heritage 
You stand at a crossroads 
A crown in each hand 
And now you choose 
Will you wear 
A crown of duality 
And illusion 
Or the crown of love 
And infinite possibility? 
The choice has 
Always been yours 
Take up your crown 
Claim your royal heritage 
And remember 
Who you are
