very good dust-jacket, very good black cloth. LERNER, ROBERT E. Ernst Kantorowicz. A Life. Princeton and Oxford: Princeton University Press, 2017, 1st printing number line starting with 1, xv, 400pp., . This is the first complete biography of Ernst Kantorowicz (1895-1963), an influential and controversial German-American intellectual whose colorful and dramatic life intersected with many of the great events and thinkers of his time. A medieval historian whose ideas exerted an influence far beyond his field, he is most famous for two books--a notoriously nationalistic 1927 biography of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and The King's Two Bodies (1957), a classic study of medieval politics. Born into a wealthy Prussian-Jewish family, Kantorowicz fought on the Western Front in World War I, was wounded at Verdun, and earned an Iron Cross; later, he earned an Iron Crescent for service in Anatolia before an affair with a general's mistress led to Kantorowicz being sent home. After the war, he fought against Poles in his native Posen, Spartacists in Berlin, and communists in Munich. An ardent German nationalist during the Weimar period, Kantorowicz became a member of the elitist Stefan George circle, which nurtured a cult of the "Secret Germany." Yet as a professor in Frankfurt after the Nazis came to power, Kantorowicz bravely spoke out against the regime before an overflowing crowd. Narrowly avoiding arrest after Kristallnacht, he fled to England and then the United States, where he joined the faculty at Berkeley, only to be fired in 1950 for refusing to sign an anticommunist "loyalty oath." From there, he "fell up the ladder" to Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, where he stayed until his death. Drawing on many new sources, including numerous interviews and unpublished letters, Robert E. Lerner tells the story of a major intellectual whose life and times were as fascinating as his work. - CONTENTS: Introduction -- Old Posen and young Ernst -- "With rifle and gun" -- Fine fever -- Heidelberg -- St. George -- The Castle Hill -- Frederick II -- Center of attention -- Becoming a professional -- Frankfurt -- Year of drama -- Oxford -- "Leisure with dignity" -- Flight -- "Displaced foreign scholar" -- "Without any desire for Europe" -- Laudes regiae -- Fight for employment -- "Hyperborean fields" -- "Scarcely wants to go to Germany" -- "Land of lotus-eaters" -- The fundamental issue -- Advanced study -- The king's two bodies -- "EKa is sick of EKa" -- Last years -- Afterword.

Lerner, Robert E., 1940-. The feast of Saint Abraham: medieval millenarians and the Jews. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2001, 1st printing number line ending in 1, viii, 186pp., very good dust-jacket, fresh attractive copy, very good gray cloth. Middle Ages series. - "Robert E. Lerner uncovers a strain of medieval millennial thought that conceived of a peaceful place for Jews at the end of time. Its proponents maintained that "the candelabra of the Church would return to the Synagogue" and that the millennial Church would celebrate the feasts of "Saint Abraham" and "Saint David." Rejecting the common assumption that all millenarians were of necessity anti-Jewish, Lerner reveals a Christian prophetic tradition that foresaw a world in which Jews and Gentiles would come together to mutual benefit." "Drawing heavily on new evidence, much of which remains in manuscript, Lerner offers an unexpected angle on the study of Western European intolerance and the complicated relationships between Christians and Jews."- CONTENTS: Introducing Joachim of Fiore -- Joachim and the Jews : the reunion of Shem and Japheth -- The trip to Paris -- The New Jerusalem of Peter Olivi -- The prophet immured : John of Rupescissa -- Frederick of Brunswick -- Francesc Eiximenis -- Nicholas of Buldesdorf -- Conclusion. 9780812235678 ISBN 0812235673.
