"Reconstituted families in Late Antiquity addresses the phenomena of remarriage after divorce or widowhood in society, law and mentality of the Jewish, pagan and Roman-Christian antiquity. Posits a consistency between a changing Jewish marriage law in the first century and the beginning of the formation of a new Christian view of the family structure. Jewish law in the waning ersteheliche legal protection for children in blended families belonged to the concrete horizon of experience of the first Christians, and can paint responsible for the emergence of a reactionary conservative Christian morality divorce. The development of these Christian marriage values and the degree of their legal and social manifestation to the end of Late Antiquity at the center of the work. In consequence of the late antique legal developments include competition fears around the heritage and fear no more maternal or paternal deprivation on key aspects of late antique patchwork families. A similar phenomenon can also be based on literary texts gain, which in late antiquity - continue drawing not the stereotype of the wicked step-family - unlike in imperial times. A broad legal comparison between classical and late antique marriage legislation shows a hand in both quantity and quality to Christianisierungstendenzen, on the other hand also makes concrete reconstructions emotion-related living conditions of late antiquity stepfamilies. The final chapter highlights reconstituted families in the Gothic and Germanic-Frankish Early Middle Ages"--Publisher's website.
