This volume provides an annotated collection of around 450 inscribed texts along with the dates and initials from 83 additional objects originating from a rural area of Lower Saxony. Only around 60 inscriptions date from medieval times, whereas major parts of the source material go back to the early modern age. Along with the already documented inscriptions of the city of Hildesheim (DI 58), the relationship between center and periphery in a key area of the former Guelph territories can now be revealed in terms of an epigraphic tradition, based on a total of almost 1500 inscriptions, initials and dates.

English summary: This volume provides an annotated collection of around 450 inscribed texts along with the dates and initials from 83 additional objects originating from a rural area of Lower Saxony. Only around 60 inscriptions date from medieval times, whereas major parts of the source material go back to the early modern age. Along with the already documented inscriptions of the city of Hildesheim (DI 58), the relationship between center and periphery in a key area of the former Guelph territories can now be revealed in terms of an epigraphic tradition, based on a total of almost 1500 inscriptions, initials and dates. German description: Der Band bietet eine kommentierte Edition von ca. 450 Inschriftentexten sowie Jahreszahlen und Initialen von 83 weiteren Objekten aus einer dorflich gepragten Region Niedersachsens. Einen Schwerpunkt bilden die knapp 100 Glockeninschriften, die einen authentischen Einblick in die Hildesheimer Glockenlandschaft mit ihren verschiedenen Guawerkstatten gestatten. Die zahlreichen Grabinschriften dokumentieren die Memorialkultur vor allem des landlichen Adels sowie der evangelischen Pastoren und der herzoglichen Amtmanner. Neben den Glockeninschriften geben die Inschriften auf Altarretabeln, Opferstocken und Kelchen wertvolle Hinweise u. a. darauf, wie sich das Innere der Kirchen durch die Reformation verandert hat und welche Rolle Stiftungen und Stifter dabei gespielt haben. Nur etwa 60 Inschriftentexte stammen aus mittelalterlicher Zeit, der Schwerpunkt der Uberlieferung liegt in der fruhen Neuzeit. Zusammen mit den bereits vorliegenden Inschriften der Stadt Hildesheim (DI 58) wird nunmehr auf der Grundlage von fast 1500 Inschriften, Initialen und Daten das Spannungsfeld von Peripherie und Zentrum fur ein zentrales Gebiet der ehemaligen welfischen Territorien in der inschriftlichen Uberlieferung sichtbar.
