Synopsis: Futterstoff (German, lit. "fodderstuff") is a collection of a dozen vignettes, all written within the past decade or so. It covers a variety of miscellaneous items taken mostly from personal experience, but a few topics of general interest are also discussed. On the personal side, there are several unique items, such as "The Little Miracle of Aunt Ilona", "To Russia with Love"; My Own Lolita"; "Noblesse Oblige", "The Youngest Political Prisoner in the History of Hungary' and some others, that might be entertaining and perhaps even educational, readings. The book is meant for a general audience of educated laymen, no technical or specialized knowledge is assumed in any of the articles. Altogether, the purpose of these vignettes is the sharing of some of the most memorable concerns, emotional experiences, and personal lessons learnt the hard way. It is sincerely hoped that the Reader will emphatize with most of them, and perhaps even benefit from them in the long run, one way or another.

Isabelle Dolezalek wurde für Ihre Arbeit mit dem 2018 ICMA Annual Book Prize des International Center of Medieval Art ausgezeichnet. Auf zahlreichen mittelalterlichen Objekten finden sich arabische Inschriften. Nur wenige davon wurden jedoch für lateinisch-christliche Auftraggeber produziert. Die normannischen und staufischen Königsgewänder aus Sizilien bilden eine bemerkenswerte Ausnahme. Welche Assoziationen sollte der Gebrauch arabischer Textilinschriften bei den zeitgenössischen Betrachtern im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert hervorrufen? Wie wurden die Inschriften in späteren Zeiten rezipiert? Die transkulturell und interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Studie beleuchtet praktische und politische Entscheidungen, die der Produktion der sizilischen Textilinschriften zugrunde liegen, und lenkt so das Augenmerk auf ein Ornament, das konventionelle kulturelle Grenzen nicht nur überschreitet, sondern grundlegend in Frage stellt.
