Faule Müßiggänger und “rechte” Arme.
This source edition is intended to provide access to the poor and begging ordinances of the Lower German cities of Bremen, Lübeck, Lüneburg and Oldenburg in the 16th and 17th centuries. They defined the different types of poor and beggars, which were considered needy and which were not, and how they were to be dealt with in terms of Christian doctrine and municipal organisation.
With their New High German translations, the sources in this edition can also be used by researchers who are not familiar with the Middle Low German language. This source edition thus offers a new basis for further research in the field of poor and alms relief in the late Middle Ages and early modern period.
The publication is also available as an e-book via ProQuest’s EBook Central.
