From Around The World

Dr Filip Malesevic (Fribourg), who spent a research stay at the RIGG in autumn, is now moving to the private Bilkent University in Ankara as Assistant Professor for European Modern History (tenure-track). His latest book ‘Rome Unveiled: Cardinal Cesare Baronio, San Giovanni in Laterano, and the Liturgical Spaces of the Roman Curia in the Late Cinquecento’ is due to be published in the spring. He recently published a study on St Peter's and Santa Maria Maggiore.

The Theo-Talk organised by the Catholic Adult Education Department of the Diocese of Trier welcomes Stefan Heid on 9 December. He will be speaking on the topic of ‘Trier and Rome - of archaeologists and prelates’. Ludwig Kaas, of course, but also Theodor Konrad Kempf, Alois Thomas, Stephan Ehses and others will play a role.

Program

The Institute for the History of Christianity, Faculty of Humanities at the University of Hamburg and the Archive of the Catholic Military Bishop in Berlin are organising a two-day research colloquium in Berlin in mid-October 2025 on the topic of ‘Military chaplaincy in the view of (church) historical research. National and transnational perspectives’.

The archivist of the abbey, Father Mariano Dell'Omo, and Gaetano de Angelis-Curtis have published two fundamental studies on the abbey during the Second World War and the rescue of its cultural assets from the Allied bombardments. They will be presented on 12 November in Monte Cassino. Dell'Omo has published an in-depth article on the cultural significance of the Rule of Benedict in the latest issue of the Roman Quarterly.

Books 

After the first attempt to translate the complete Ratzinger edition compiled at the Ratzinger Institute in Regensburg into English failed miserably 10 years ago (only the liturgy volume was published), the American publishing house Word on Fire will now make a new attempt that will hopefully lead to success. There are currently complete editions in German, Polish, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese. The Campo Santo Teutonico library owns all available volumes.
