Die erste Geschichte der Lebensstufen der Menschen zwischen Mittelalter und Moderne.
English summary: In the early modern age, people considered their lives as a religious sequence, a consequence of human life stages. How were people influenced by this world view? How did they picture the seven stages in life? A new view on only partially known facts, promises Kaspar von Greyerz with his history of life stages in the 16th and 17th century. This first comprehensive depiction of human age and rituals in early modern times is mainly based on diaries, autobiographies and family chronicles. The author creates vivid pictures of his often nameless protagonists and their seven stages in life: birth, childhood, youth, marrying, marriage, old age and death. Kaspar von Greyerz allows a great view on the middle ages just crossing the line to modernity. German text. German description: Der Mensch im Europa der Fruhen Neuzeit begriff sein Leben als einen festgelegten, religios ausgedeuteten Ablauf, eine Folge von Altersstufen. Wie pragte ihn dieser Blick’ Welches Bild hatte er von den Stufen seines Lebens’ Einen neuen Blick auf nur zum Teil Bekanntes verspricht uns Kaspar von Greyerz mit seiner Geschichte der Lebensstufen im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert. Fur diese erste historische Uberblicksdarstellung der fruhneuzeitlichen Lebensalter und ihrer Rituale stutzt er sich vor allem auf Selbstzeugnisse wie Tagebucher, Autobiographien und Familienchroniken. So gelingt ihm ein uberaus farbiges Bild der sieben Lebensstufen Geburt, Kindheit, Jugend, Heirat, Ehe, Alter und Tod im Leben seiner vielfach namenlosen Helden in der Epochenschwelle zwischen Mittelalter und Moderne.
Prof. em. Dr. Kaspar von Greyerz war Professor für Geschichte der Frühen Neuzeit in Zürich und Basel.
