A comparative study and potentialities of court yearbooks and of their diffusion across the Holy Roman Empire and Central Europe during the 18th century.: }, url={https://revistas.uam.es/librosdelacorte/article/view/13958}, DOI={10.15366/ldc2021.13.23.010}, abstractNote={<p class="p1">The yearbooks published in court almanacs can be interpreted as a new type of publication that was born in the early eighteenth century. It represented the court in a novel manner and enabled the public to comprehend the court as an institution. Particularly common in the German-speaking world (the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg lands), these publications listed all the members of court’s personnel, department by department. These yearbooks represent a very important and attractive source for court studies: they not only allow a comparative and connected history based on the tables that the different courts published each year, but also a deepen study based on their symbolic and political dimension. Indeed, the almanacs constitute courts on paper form, and highlight the rationalization that this institution underwent during the Enlightenment.</p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>}, number={23}, journal={Librosdelacorte.es}, author={Hassler, Eric}, year={2021}, month={dic.}, pages={251–275} }
