Bogoslav Šulek (1816.-1895.) i njegovo doba

Author(s): Tomislav Markus / Language(s): Croatian

Poput mnogih drugih ljudi u XIX. stoljeću Bogoslav Šulek bio je izrazito svestran čovjek. Djelovao je prije afirmacije uske specijalizacije kao jedino «legitimnog» načina znanstvenog istraživanja. Pisao je o mnogim stvarima, od politike do botanike, od fizike i kemije do šumarstva, koje danas izgledaju bez međusobne veze. Smatram da je je uska specijalizacija učinila puno više štete nego koristi i da pravo znanstveno istraživanje treba biti interdisciplinarno, ne samo unutar humanističkih područja, već i uz njihovo povezivanje s naturalističkim – posebno biološkim i ekološkim – disciplinama. No, danas je jednostavno nemoguće ostvariti svestranost kakva je još bila moguća u XIX. stoljeću, posebno ako se želi izbjeći površnost i dilentatizam. Stoga je i ova monografija nejednaka u obradi pojedinih tema. Detaljnije su analizirana ona područja Šulekove djelatnosti s kojima je autor, po svojem obrazovanju odnosno povijesnim istraživanjima, familijarniji. To se, ponajprije, odnosi na Šulekovu političku djelatnost, odnosno njegove političke članke u novinskoj periodici. Detaljnije su obrađena i njegova sociološka shvaćanja, kao i tumačenja novih prirodo-znanstvenih teorija, posebno teorije evolucije. Kod nekih drugih tema, poput jezika ili botanike, morao sam se više oslanjati na literaturu. Svakako, i ovdje sam nastojao uzeti u obzir izvorne Šulekove stavove. Iz istog razloga kritičke su primjedbe navedene kod onih područja, kod kojih se osjećam kompetentnim da ih iznesem.

Hrvati i križari

Author(s): Krešimir Kužić / Language(s): Croatian

The introductory chapter gives a theoretical outline of the term "crusades". This term was only introduced by the historians during the 19th century. Historians, depending of their national background, also gave different data on the total number of crusades. The author gives his methodological model for the research of crusades, dividing them according to the theologic and geographic terms of reference. It is important to distinguish whether crusades were "contra paganos" or "contra haereticos et schismaticos" and geographic position of war operations is equally important. If we take these elements into account, it is not easy to define each crusade. Difference between European centre and peripheral aereas must also be taken into account. All communities which possesed two vital elements - religious and political - gave continuous support to the crusades' idea. Therefore they were considered to belong to the centre of Europe (southern Italy under Norman control, Normandy province in France and Frisia). All other communities were considered peripheral.

Kanonske vizitacije Senjske i Modruške (Krbavske) biskupije

Personalne vizitacije župe Senj (18. stoljeće)

Author(s): / Language(s): Croatian

Spisi koji su pred nama predstavljaju primjer crkvene birokratske „literature“– strogo formaliziran niz pitanja koja je vatikanska administracija postavljala svojim službenicima, te odgovori koji su na njih dobiveni. Međutim, osim suhih podataka o kanoničkim karijerama i ustroju kaptola, ovi nam dokumenti otvaraju prozor u mnoge segmente života onodobnoga Senja: vjerski, kulturni, intelektualni, trgovački, pa i onaj koji bismo nazvali zabavnim – i po tome su specifični u odnosu na većinu preostalih spisa iz korpusa koji nazivamo kanonskim vizitacijama.

Marčanska biskupija

Habsburgovci, pravoslavlje i crkvena unija u Hrvatsko-slavonskoj vojnoj krajini (1611.-1755.)

Author(s): Zlatko Kudelić / Language(s): Croatian

The Greek Catholic (Uniate) Dioecese of Marča (called “Svidnica” by the Vienna Court and “Platearum” by the Roman Curia) was established in 1611, when Greek Catholic Bishop Simeon Vratanja was consecrated in Rome. He assumed obligation to unite Orthodox frontiersmen (Vlachs) of the Croatian and Slavonian Military Border and other Orthodox Christians in the Hungarian- Croatian Kingdom with the Catholic Church. In order to become a Greek Catholic or Uniate bishop, Simeon had to accept decrees issued by the Council of Trent, and especially to recognize the primacy of the Roman pope, the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son, the existence of Purgatory and the use of unleavened bread in liturgy. Although the Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom was declaratively pronounced as Bishop Simeon’s jurisdictional territory, in fact his jurisdiction spread predominantly over the Croatian and Slavonian Military Border, where the Orthodox Vlachs had been settled ever since the late sixteenth century. The monastery of St. Michael in Marča in the Varaždin Generalcy (the Slavonian Military Border) became the see of a new Greek Catholic eparchy. Having analyzed available sources about Simeon’s prelacy, the author concludes that motives and circumstances of Simeon’s acceptance of union with the Catholic Church cannot be clearly recognizable, and that the majority of the Orthodox population in the Military Border did not accept union with the Catholic Church in the spring of 1611, as some historians have previously claimed.

Politička i društvena elita Srba u Hrvatskoj potkraj 19. stoljeća

Uspon i pad Srpskoga kluba

Author(s): Nives Rumenjak / Language(s): Croatian

This research deals with a historiographically common subject that, until now, did not have monographic coverage. Its subject are the members of the political, social and economic elite of Serbs assembled in the Serbian club within the Croatian Diet as the part of the ruling People’s Party at the time of viceroy (ban) Károly Khuen Héderváry (1883-1903). Insufficient research of this segment of the Serbian politics loyal to the government at the time it was becoming a significant factor in the system of Croatian agreement autonomy, primarily reflects the lack of both suitable primary and secondary sources, and the innovative methodological approaches that are caused by the scarceness of the basic resources on the subject. Comparative prosopography proved to be the optimal methodological tool in placing the research focus on a very narrow and biographically unknown elite group that was active in different spheres of Croatia proper (Banska Hrvatska) as well as in the wider regional frame of Transleithania (the state union between Croatia and Hungary) at the turn of the 20th century. Prosopography is an established method of political and social history that is used in the research of numerically identifiable (smaller) elite groups in a shorter time frame and it implies analysing a number of complementary serial sources by introducing standardized questions on the background and status of the members of the Serbian elite. The use of comparative prosopography has enabled detection of a deeper social and economical background of the political action and ideology of the Serbian club, as well as a broader circle of the Serbian elite in several social spheres Σ within the institutions of Hungarian- Croatian parliamentarism, in banks, savings banks and financial organizations in Croatia proper and within the institutions of Serbian church and school autonomy in Hungary and Croatia. Prosopography has not, until now, been used by other researchers for analysing the subjects from Croatian history, and therefore it was applied in creating the database on elite groups that lacks in Croatian historiography of the 19th and the 20th century, especially if it is taken into consideration that this was a period of systematic production of many suitable printed serial sources, especially public or state registers on administrative affairs and economy. The groundbreaking importance of this research, from the perspective of Serbian subject matter in historiography, is mostly reflected in the fact of (re)construction of the Serbian identity in quite a number of representatives in the Croatian Diet and especially those members in ruling structures of the financial organizations since most of the available Croatian and Serbian sources from that period either indirectly imply a possible Serbian nationality of the individuals in the researched groups and institutions or they are tacit on the subject. The book embarks upon analysing the subject that historiography so far has mostly dealt with in regards with the Serbian club within Khuen’s People’s Party.

Religije i kultovi Dardanaca i Dardanije u antici

Author(s): Zef Mirdita / Language(s): Croatian

Obwohl die Dardaner der römischen Herrschaft erst in dem Jahre 200 vor Chr. unterlagen, dank derer geographischen Position, die eine Brücke zwischen verschiedener Völker und Kulturen, besonders derjenigen in der Welt des Altertums, in der ersten Reihe des Ägäischen Raums, darstellte, begann die Zeit der Antike dort, unterschiedlich von anderen Stämmen Illyriens, schon im V. Jahrhundert vor Chr. Es ist nun verständlich, dass dies vom wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Bereicherung, Änderung und sogar Synkretisierung verschiedenartiger Kulturen sowie des materiellen und geistigen Lebens war. Diese Erscheinung wurde gerade in der Sphäre des geistigen Lebens, der Religion und der Kulte sichtbar. Es ist klar, dass dort, wo der Durchbruch der kulturellen und geistigen Güter leichter war, wie es in Dardanien der Fall war, und zwar in den Bereichen die Flusstäler (Vardar, Morava, der Weiße und Schwarze Drim, Ibar) entlang, sowie in den Kontaktzonen, bzw. in den Grenzgebieten - dort war auch der geistige Reichtum verschiedenartiger Kulte, sowie die verschiedenen Formen des religiösen Ausdrucks vielartiger. In diesem Sinne verstehen wir die Tatsache, dass, wenigstens wenn wir von dem zentralen, südöstlichen und südwestlichen Gebiete des Territoriums der Dardaner sprechen, dieses Gebiet, sozusagen, unter dem unmittelbaren Einfluss des Hellenismus stand. Der Ziel des ersten Teils dieser Studie wäre, auf Grund des epigraphischen und archäologischen Materials einen Überblick aus dem religiösen Leben verschiedener Kulte während verschiedener Zeiträume im Leben der Dardaner und auf dem dardanischen Territorium zu geben, und zwar seit der Urgeschichte, konkreter, vom Neolithikum biz zur Spätantike. Es ist klar, dass ein so großer Zeitraum sowie die Größe des Territoriums, das geographisch betrachtet groß und räumig ist, nicht nur die Unterschiedlichkeit der verschiedenartigen Ausdrucksformen des religiösen Lebens mit sich bringt, sondern auch die Erscheinung des Synkretismus verschiedenartiger Kulte und Glauben. Andererseits aber ermöglicht die geographische Unterschiedlichkeit dieses Gebietes auch die Bewahrung und Resistenz der epichorischen Kulte und einheimischen religiösen Phenomäne.

Scrinia Slavonica

Frequency: 1 issues / Country: Croatia

SCRINIA SLAVONICA, annual review of the Croatian Historical Institute, Department for history of Slavonia, Srijem and Baranja, publishes contributions dealing with the history of North-Eastern Croatia, i.e. of the historical region of Slavonia (in the modern geographical sense of this term) with Srijem and the Croatian part of Baranja. The annual aims at establishing regional history of Slavonia as a meaningful frame for a productive historical research. It is open for publishing both in-depth research contributions and articles of synthesis or recapitulation, as well as editions of relevant source texts in limited selections. Besides that, a part of the annual's space is dedicated to works on broader theoretical or methodological issues, primarily those applicable to concrete regional research projects. Finally, through articles in translation and review articles it will be attempted to help Croatian historians in a continous following of historiographical processes and interesting events in Slavonia's neighbouring countries - Hungary, Serbia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina - because all of them constitute an area which was encompassed during past centuries by various structures of mutual connections and relationships, a consequence of this being an overlap between interests (while not necessarily a correspondence of results) of their respective modern historiographies, and therefore a need for communication, sharing of knowledge, cooperation, and well-founded dialogue.

Stari pokrajinski katalog ili Katalog provincija Opće Crkve

Author(s): Ante Škegro / Language(s): Croatian

Provinciale vetus sive Ecclesiae universae provinciarum notitia is a complex source in which one of the oldest catalogues of the Catholic bishoprics can be found. The source was dated in the period of Charlemagne (768-814) and grouped together with documents and codexes from his era, inspite the fact that some data are from the later centuries. It is evident that content and structure of this source is very complex, including the data form different periods: we can identify several authors and redactors of the source. Also, we can compare this source with the Liber censum Romanae Ecclesiae, a list of the bishoprics, abbeys, chapters and some lay institutions subjected to the Roman Church, which had the financial and other obligations towards it. This document was written in 1192 by papal chamberlain Sabellus Cencius. Provinciale vetus sive Ecclesiae universae provinciarum notitia is rich with data form early-medieval Christian history. The analysis of its content shows that this source contains documents from different periods. It is evident that already in the early-medieval period the author who was not really a connoisseur of religious and political history revised it. This conclusion was made already by an editor who published Medieval sources in the mid-19th century. The publication was equipped with rich critical apparatus, but remains unclear why the source Provinciale vetus sive Ecclesiae universae provinciarum notitia, containing documents from later periods, was published together with the documents and codexes from the period of Charles the Great. Some authors have been ignoring this source, or have used its information in a negative sense. This source, however, should be used by researches of the Late Antiquity and Early medieval History in comparison with other sources and using critical methodology .

Trogir u katastru Franje I

Author(s): Irena Benyovsky / Language(s): Croatian

The first half of the 19th century in Dalmatia is marked out by the rule of Francis I. Austrian strategic interests resulted in a long-prepared reorganization of the structure of the state which brought about significant changes. Traditional commercial and fiscal relations were transformed. On 23 December 1817, Francis I issued the “Patent for the introduction of a stable cadastre” (Patent uber die Einfuhrung des stabilen Katasters), by which a general property tax was introduced in the Monarchy. Work on the cadastre of Dalmatia was begun after the nomination of Governor Franjo Tomašić in Zadar (the capital of Dalmatia) in 1822 and completed in 1838. Immediately after the triangulation was done in 1838, the original cadastral plans were deposited in the Central Archives in Vienna. Today, copies of these can be found in the State Archive in Split under the title “Archive of maps of Istria and Dalmatia.”

Ustroj kopnene vojske domobranstva Nezavisne države Hrvatske, 1941-1945

Author(s): Nikica Barić / Language(s): Croatian

Home Guard (Domobranstvo) was the regular army of the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska, NDH), which was established in April 1941 after the Axis attack on Kingdom of Yugoslavia. NDH was ruled by the extreme right wing Ustasha movement headed by Ante Pavelić and its territory consisted of Croatia, Slavonia, Syrmia, Dalmatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Hungarians occupied and annexed Međimurje and Italians annexed parts of Croatian coast. A demarcation line divided NDH in German and Italian spheres of influence. Alongside with Home Guard, Ustasha militia was established as a military wing of the ruling Ustasha movement. Although Home Guard had air forces and navy, its ground forces were the most numerous and the most important. Tradition of the Croatian units of the Royal Hungarian Home Guard from the Austro-Hungarian Empire was often evoked after the establishment of NDH. Some Croats who were former Austro-Hungarian officers were also included in the Home Guard. Nevertheless, the basis for the formation of Home Guard were Croat and Bosnian Moslem officers and conscripts who had previously served in the royal Yugoslav army. The paramilitary units of the Croatian Peasant Party, the leading Croatian political party in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, played an important role immediately after the proclamation of NDH. Elements of this para-military organization took part in the disarmement of the Yugoslav units. In late April 1941 one of its detachments was sent to Bosnia and Herzegovina to establish Croatian military organization in that area. Nevertheless, Ustasha were distrustful of this organization and it was soon abolished [...]

Vlasi u historiografiji

Author(s): Zef Mirdita / Language(s): Croatian

Much has been written on and discussed about the Balkan nation of Vlachs. Despite that, they have remained a historical mystery of the Mediterranean region and even wider. The reason for this is the fact that Vlachs (also called Cincars) do not have a defined ethnic and political area. They also do not have their particular cultural, educational and spiritual institutions. Historical research of Vlachs gave often conflicting results and these researches are the subject of this book. The author has treated the subject chronologically because Vlachs appeared very early in the multiethnic region of Balkan. Accordingly the book is divided into following chapters: “Vlachs in the works of Byzantine writers”, “Vlachs in the Turkish historiography”, “Vlachs in the medieval Latin chronicles, Imperial and Papal letters”. The author has also made a general cultural and geographical division - Vlachs in Balkan historiographies and Vlachs in Western historiographies including, as a separate chapter, Vlachs in Russian historiography.

Zagrebački politički listovi 1848.-1850. godine : izabrani članci

Author(s): Tomislav Markus / Language(s): Croatian

Tekstovi zagrebačkih političkih listova iz razdoblja 1848.-1850. predstavljaju jedno od najvažnijih izvora za proučavanje tadašnjih političkih, vojnih, društvenih, privrednih i drugih zbivanja i procesa u Banskoj Hrvatskoj. U njima su dolazila do izražaja težnje, interesi i ciljevi hrvatskih javnih djelatnika, od pojedinaca, preko pojedinih interesnih grupa do hrvatskih državnih ustanova. Tadašnji listovi, jedini u sjevernoj Hrvatskoj, svjedoče o određenom stupnju razvitka političkog javnog mnijenja i moderne političke kulture u hrvatskom društvu u kojem su upravo tada, u proljeće 1848., ukinuti kmetski odnosi i provedenih izbori za prvi nestaleški Sabor. Novinski članci predstavljaju, doduše, sami po sebi, objavljen materijal, ali mogućnosti njegovog korištenje za historičare vrlo je ograničena, jer samo na jednom mjestu - u Nacionalnoj i sveučilišnoj knjižnici u Zagrebu - postoji cjelovito sačuvana zbirka svih tadašnjih listova. Iz tih razloga postoji, vjerujem, potreba da se donese izbor članaka iz tadašnjih listova, koji bi trebali pružiti, po mogućnosti, vjerodostojnu sliku kako o tadašnjim prilikama u Hrvatskoj, ali i o ljudima, koji su uređivali zagrebačke listove, odnosno surađivali u njima. Jedini dosadašnji izbor s tekstovima iz zagrebačkog tiska 1848.-1850. (Vaso Bogdanov, Hrvatska ljevica u godinama revolucije 1848-49 u svijetlu naše četrdesetosmaške štampe, Zagreb 1949) ne zadovoljava niti osnovne kriterije stručnog priređivanja građe, zbog mijenjanja pravopisa, fragmentarnog donošenja tekstova i to skoro isključivo iz Slavenskog Juga, s ciljem dokazivanja određenih interpretacija priređivača i izostavljanja tekstova iz većine listova (većim dijelom iz Novina dalmatinsko-hervatsko-slavonskih, a potpuno iz Agramer Zeitunga, Sudslawische Zeitunga i Jugoslavenskih novina).

Zagrebačko liberalno novinstvo 1848.-1852 i stvaranje moderne Hrvatske

Author(s): Vlasta Švoger / Language(s): Croatian

In diesem Buch werden die kroatischen liberalen in Zagreb erscheinenden Blatter Saborske novine (1848), Slavenski Jug (1848-1850), Sudslawische Zeitung (1849-1852) und Jugoslavenske novine (1850) als moderne offentliche Medien mit sehr komplexer politischer und gesellschaftlicher Funktion dargestellt und zwar auf Grund komparativer Methode. Nach einer methodologischen und historiographischen Einleitung setzte die Autorin die genannten Blatter in raumlichen und zeitlichen Kontext und beschrieb die Umstande, in denen das Pressewesen in der Habsburgermonarchie vom Jahre 1848 bis zum 1852 wirkte, also in dem hier besprochenen Zeitraum.
