From Turkestan to Andalusia Spain, Medieval Islamic cities geographically occupied a wide area, and thus they had left their mark on the medieval era. Being one of these Islamic cities, Cordoba was seized by the Arabs in 711 and the first urbanization activities began upon moving the government centre from Seville to Cordoba. Later on, as the capital city of Andalusia Umayyad Dynasty, Cordoba became one of the most crucial cities of Spain in terms of science, art and trade. In this study, stating the features of medieval Western and Islamic cities, initially, the geographic, politic, economic and philosophic bases that took part in the establishment of the cities will be discussed and a specific focus will be made upon Cordoba city. Afterwards, information about the history, city layout and structure, city administration, socio-economic structure and cultural formation of Cordoba will be presented. This study reveals that Renaissance which is the main output of the European urbanization in medieval era cannot be considered apart from the administrative, socio-economic, cultural and architectural features of the Islamic cities within the context of Ibn Haldun’s thoughts.

Perception of urban space differs according to the addressee group. In order to examine meanings assigned to urban structures and ways how space is used by different cultures, the current elaboration uses a method based on analyses of urban morphology, anthropology and cultural studies. The case study refers to relations between forms ofneighbourhoods inhabited in the prewar times by Jewish communities and aspects of their everyday lives. While the diversity of lifestyles of the community of Polish Jews was at the time striking, some features may be clearly identifi ed, especially when referring to its traditional faction. These features were clearly refl ected by the forms of urban structures, in the neighbourhoods where Jews lived. Three primary spheres of social life were related to the three essential areas of Jewish life: religious, domestic and professional. These fi elds determined specifi c ways of spatial organisation of urban fabric, especially inside urban blocks. The forms of internal connections inside and between blocks of development may be noticed regardless the formal layout of plans of towns and villages, where Jewish communities lived.

Using information provided both from journals like ,,Transylvania”, edited by Transylvanian Association for Romanian Literature and Culture of Romanian People-ASTRA, but also from articles, studies and books, the present article tries to present the contribution of the aforementioned institution at the event of Great Union. There are emphasized its actions during the First World War, when it offered prayer books in Romanian language to the soldiers, printed ,,Transylvania” journal despite all the attempts of the Hungarian authorities to destroy it, and offered space for hospitalisation the wounded soldiers. There are also mentioned the decisions of important members of ASTRA, like Octavian Codru Tăslăuanu, who decided to left Transylvania and the Imperial Army and run into Romania, when they became part of the War from the other side and, when it was the time, contributed to the diplomatic aspects of the Union or have sent messages to their Romanian brothers from the imperial side, asking them to join Romania. The later contributions to the Great Event, like sending delegates, highlighting the relevance of the moment in books and newspapers or by lectures and by speaking about the way how the administrative union can be realised, are also emphasised in the research, which brings into attention a topic not enough investigated up to now, offering a new approach.

The stronghold in Grzybowo (Września commune, Września county) is among the most mysterious and also the biggest facilities of the type from the early Middle Ages located in the heart of the Piast dominion. It was “discovered” by Olgierd Brzeski who initiated in 1989 excavations continued intermittently by 2009. The research carried out to date allows to define the chronological framework of the stronghold’s existence, namely the time between the 1020s and the mid-1050s. On the other hand, a number of issues like the stronghold’s reconstruction and development, its nature and importance in the Piast domain, its relations with the stronghold network, the course of traffic routes as well as the colony backup facilities and the fortification’s location in the natural environment can and should be investigated in the course of further research.

The area between the upper course of the Narew and the central Bug hosts only a few early medieval hillforts; the one located in the vicinity of Zbucz village seems to be the oldest. The hillfort which comes either from the late 9th century or the early 10th century, is a ring-type structure. During excavations, preserved remains of a burnt-down bank structure were discovered together with the bank build-up. What differentiates this venue from similar ones is an internal ditch in which burnt human bones were excavated, accompanied by ornaments and daily use objects. This is reason to believe that on top of serving as a shelter, the stronghold was also a venue of ceremonies or cult activities. In 2015 the area was subjected to geophysical research which resulted in a better insight into the structures excluded from excavations.

Researching regime change in Bosnia and Herzegovina means, especially for women’s history, also asking about continuities. In 1918 when the new southslavic administration took over, it was preceded by a four years long wartime. After this very hard and cruel time span nothing was like before. I nevertheless argue that there were various continuities, principally for women, as I will show at the example of the former Habsburg’s midwives. Firstly, a lot of midwives remained on the ground during the whole wartime from 1914 to 1918 unlike most Habsburg’s physicians who left the country. Midwives in many places were still there when the new postwar administration took over. Previous attributions as members of the Habsburg administration got irrelevant when a midwife passed the difficult wartime with “her” women’s community. Secondly, the relations between midwives and administration, established by the Habsburgs, prevailed and were adopted by the new administration of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. This relation can be traced in the paperwork and in surviving administrative techniques as the regular control of midwives’ bags by the medical officer. The relation midwife-administrator served as a mediation to help establish the relation between the male administrators and the female habitants. It means the inclusion of women in “state”. Thirdly, also the relation between local women and administration continued to be very conflicting. At the example of the midwife Antonia Savic I can show both: how local women fought for their midwife and how women learned in Austro Hungarian time their role, their rights and the ways to claim them. Finally, the local administration of Prnjavor had to adjust, women’s solidarity and their correct and modern articulation won: the old midwife gained her work permit back.

The article examines some of the earliest influences of the Paleological art in the Medieval Bulgarian fortress town of Ochrida and partly in the surrounding areas. The pre-Revival tendencies in secular and icon painting are followed mainly in the Church of Holy Mother of God Peribleptos (St. Clement), built at the end of the 13th century, icons of the Ochrida school (13th-14th century), and some other town, village and cave churches in the region from the 13th to the 15th century.
