Abstract

The histy of everyday life is predominantly a child of German histical research of the 1970s and 1980s. On one hand, it grew particularly as an opposition to traditional political histy; on the other, to the Gesellschaftsgeschichte, with its emphasis on structures and processes, and its grand analytical concepts like industrialization, class fmation, nation-building, etc. The earliest research effts of histians of everyday life concentrated on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and on the subjective side of the past: how people experienced, perceived and acted upon their wld.1 Micro-histical studies have played an imptant role. Besides, the phenomena of routine, repetitiveness and habitus have also become main directions of new interests.2 Histians of the Middle Ages started dealing with everyday life a bit later, and with less theetical and methodological background and emphasis.3 Nevertheless, the concentration on routine and the repetitive also proved to be imptant f any kind of (comparative) analysis.4 It is f this reason that the application of computer-suppted methods became relevant at an early stage, particularly concerning the documentation, usage and interdisciplinary analysis of especially late medieval 'mass-sources': of written evidence, like account books, testaments, chronicles, etc., as well as of pictial sources and
