Otimati vijesti iz prošlosti zaboravu i, što je jednako važno, krivotvorenju, nemoguće je bez kritičkog oslanjanja na pisane isprave među kojima oduvijek posebno mjesto zauzimaju ljetopisi, a mukotrpan poduhvat hrvanja s prošlošću i zaboravom započeo je još Tukidid, grčki povjesničar iz Atene. Ljetopisi – anali ili kronike – kao preteče suvremenih povijesnih knjiga podrijetlo vuku još iz rimskog doba kad je vrhovni svećenik (pontifex maximus) za svaku godinu bilježio najvažnije događaje. Makar su poznati Annales i Historiae Tacita, Židovske starine Josipa Flavija te Ljetopis i Crkvena povijest Euzebija Cezarejskog, začetnika crkvene povijesti, kao publikacije u kojima se kronološki bilježe događaji tijekom godine, ljetopisi postaju omiljena književna vrsta kasne antike, svojevrsni nadomjestak historiografije. Izučavanje srednjovjekovne europske povijesti upravo se i zasniva na samostanskim kronikama.

In this paper the author analyses the institutional physiognomy of constitutional complaint in the Republic of Serbia, as well as it implementation in practice in light of institutional models of three respectable countries − Germany, Austria and Spain. Furthermore, it looks at some specific characteristics of constitutional systems which have subsequently established this legal remedy. Regarding the fact that comparative law does not provide an uniform institutional model of constitutional complaint and the limited experience of the Republic of Serbia with this institute, many questions have been raised in that field in our theory. At first glance, it seems that the 2006 Constitution of Serbia has very extensively established the possibility of utilizing constitutional complaint, which created a risk of impeding the work of the Constitutional Court. Data regarding the work of the Constitutional Court shows that deciding-on constitutional complaints has become the dominant competency of this body. Because of that it is necessary to establish more efficient mechanism of preliminary selection of constitutional complaints. In addition, the possibility of the Constitutional Court to annul court decisions has created tension between this Court and the High Court of Cassation. Hence, the relationship between the Constitutional Court and the ordinary courts must be more precisely and consistently regulated by a normative framework. In any case, the decreasing number of cases appearing before the European Court for Human Rights against Serbia shows that constitutional complaint is an increasingly effective legal remedy. However, for full affirmation of constitutional complaint as the legal remedy for protection of human rights, it is necessary to also develop an appropriate legal culture, which requires time.

The Bouvier Collection presents a corpus of almost 800 clay oil lamps from Egypt and the Near East, collected by the Swiss Maurice Bouvier in Alexandria in the first half of the 20th century. Far from collections reflecting their owner’s aesthetic taste or iconographic predilection, the series of lamps published in this volume builds a true panoply of almost all the typologies attested in Egypt from the Phoenician period to the Mamluk sultanate, with a large appendix on Near Eastern types, acquired during trips to Lebanon and Syria. This Swiss collection today is second only to the holdings of the Benaki Museum in Athens. The volume is a milestone of Egyptian, Syrian and Lebanese lychnological studies. The presentation of the material offers in effect a long awaited synthesis of a field that is both difficult and still understudied. The corpus of lamps in the catalog covers all the major historical periods, bringing to the fore many local specificities of Egypt and the Near East, from Phoenician times through the Mamluk period. Complementing the catalog are reviews of the producer’s marks on the bases of the lamps and of the iconographic motifs decorating the discuses of Roman lamps. These will be a ready aid for studies of the actual lamps, both produced locally in Egypt and imports, as well as of the dissemination of decorative motifs. This synthetic and diachronic approach is illustrated by a set of exceptional photographs taken by the collector’s grandson, Marc Bouvier. Students of this category of objects from Egypt and the Near East are also given an exhaustive bibliography on the subject collected by the author, an expert lychnologist, who has dedicated the past twenty years to research on lighting devices and ancient oil lamps in particular. He has given voice to his interests, including the anthropological, social, religious and macro-economic aspects of lighting in antiquity, in an extensive introduction preceding the catalog. The volume is prefaced by Tomasz Waliszewski and introduced by Jolanta Młynarczyk.

The Catalogue is intended to cover all ancient coins finds (i.e. pre-AD 6th century Greek, Celtic and Roman coins) recorded by December 2017 from medieval or modern period context (dated approximately from the 7th century AD until the turn of the 18th century) from Poland. The finds are listed in the alphabetical order entered under the name reported as their find-spot – village, town, city, or a geographical feature (peat bog). The letter “U” preceding a find number indicates very spurious finds and ones that are very unlikely to originate from a medieval or a modern context although in some cases reported as such, and consequently not included in the descriptions, maps and analyses presented in the preceding chapters of this monograph. Thay have been listed in the end of the Catalogue as the List of uncertain finds. And unless otherwise indicated, they have not been included in any of the maps of the finds.

Communal life in Sardinia is not part of local tradition - it was transplanted from abroad. In order to be able to understand concept and essence of transplantation of communal institutions in Sardinia we need to analyze from a scientific perspective legal status of Sardinia's local communities (among which Sassari) which developed before the Communes. These were "Bidas" from the period of Giudicati. The aim of the paper is to compare typically Sardinian status and Communes which were transplanted from northern Italy by identifying similarities and differences between them. One similarity concerns the pattern used - both Bidas and Communes can be related in its form to ancient Mediterranean city - Geek polis and Roman urbs civitas. This institution reached its full maturity in republican - imperial municipium. Major difference between Bidas and Communes concerns their relationship with feudal institution - in Sardinian's Bidas that relationship was non-existent, whereas in Italian and European Communes feudal institutions had dominant position. Particularly important example of Sardinian Communal experience is Free Commune of Sassari whose history (albeit short, somewhat less than half a century from 1272 to 1323) falls into late phase of otherwise long (five centuries) Giudicati period.
