English summary: The Early Modern Period in Europe is considered a particularly warlike period. That is not to say it was as martial as the Middle Ages but there were changes in the ideology, social, technical and cultural meaning of war during this period: the legitimation of war in the Early Modern Period became increasingly arbitrary while at the same time, the weapons technology and payment system of working army soldiers dissolved the old estate-based hierarchy and their associated practical manuals. This self-reproducing "bellicosity" required new strategies of legitimation and de-legitimation of war in the literature of the Early Modern Period, which are the focus of the articles in this anthology. German description: Die Fruhe Neuzeit in Europa gilt als ein besonders kriegerisches Zeitalter. Sie ist zwar insgesamt nicht kriegerischer als das Mittelalter, doch verandern sich in ihr die ideologischen, sozialen, technischen und kulturellen Bedingungen des Krieges: Die Legitimationen der Kriege in der Fruhen Neuzeit werden zunehmend arbitrar, gleichzeitig zerfallen in Zeiten neuer Waffentechniken und auf Mietbasis operierender Soldnerheere alte standische Hierarchien und Verhaltens-Codices. Diese sich selbst reproduzierende 'Bellizitat' fordert in den Literaturen der Fruhen Neuzeit neue Strategien der Legitimation wie der Delegitimierung des Krieges, denen die Beitrage dieses Bandes nachgehen.
