Miejsce rzeczywiste - miejsce wyobrażone: nieistniejąca dzielnica żydowska w Lublinie we wspomnieniach mieszkańców

Author(s): Marta Kubiszyn / Language(s): Polish Issue: 05/2015

The article discusses contemporary narratives relating to the no longer existing Jewish quarter. The processes of remembering and forgetting, as well as recurring constructing of this kind of narratives will be analyzed in relation to the oral history interviews taken by the author in the years 1998–2005 as part of the documentary programme “Oral History of Lublin” run by the “Brama Grodzka – Teatr NN” Centre. The analyses are a starting point for searching the answer to questions about historical, social and cultural determinants of creating (reconstructing) the narrative about the Jewish quarter – as a place in a topographical sense and a symbolic space of cultural otherness.

За „Словото на св. Кирила и Методия“, изречено от Кузмана Шапкарев в Кукуш на 1866 г.

Author(s): Iveta Rasheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 14/2016

The Baptizing of Bulgarians is a widely interpret subject in Bulgarian and in foreign medieval texts. The first part of the article is focused at the appearance of that subject in “Slavonic-Bulgarian History“ by Paisius of Hilendar, furthermore – the ethno-saving function of the story of St. Cyril and St. Methodius in the chapter called “For the Slavic Teachers“. This function is linked with the subject of the direct participation of St. Cyril and St. Methodius in the Baptizing of Bulgarians. The truth or the inveracities are defined according to the real facts which today’s science possesses. Then an analysis is given of their later 100-year projection in the works of some Bulgarian Renaissance writers and publishers. Again, the aim of this projection is ethno-saving, but there is a spiritually unifying power which transforms into a political support in the years before the Liberation. That’s why in the second part of the article the focus is at the “Speech of St. Cyril and St. Methodius“ given by Kuzman Shapkarev in the city of Kukush on 11th May 1866.

Die „Löwengrube“ in Hermannstadt Bericht über eine archäologische Rettungsgrabung

Author(s): Petre Beşliu / Language(s): German Issue: _/2014

1934 hielt Emil Sigerus ein wenig erfreuliches Ereignis in der Baugeschichte von Hermannstadt fest: „Seit Monaten wird in Hermannstadt daran gearbeitet, einen alten Häuserblock zwischen der Enten- und Pempflingergasse abzutragen, um Raum zu einem neuen Marktplatz und einer neuen Auffahrtstraße zu schaffen. […] Den Mittelpunkt dieser Häusergruppe bilden drei jahrhundertalte Bürgerhäuser, von denen jenes gegen Westen an seiner, der Entengasse zugekehrten Schauseite den Spruch trug: ‘Alle denen, die mich kennen, gebe Gott, was sie mir gönnen. Johann Göllner. Anno 1767.’ Das bemerkenswerteste Haus dieses Häuserblocks ist das mittelste gewesen, schon im achtzehnten Jahrhundert unter dem Namen ‚Die Löwengrube‘ bekannt. […]

The aim of this study is to follow in historic aspect the opening and development of concession pharmacy, branches and temporary pharmacies in Bourgas region. Materials and methods: There was used a documentary analysis including archive materials, books and historic literature. Results: The regulated pharmacies in Bourgas and the region have been opened after the Liberation by a limited number of pharmacists, who have graduated their education abroad. In the smaller towns were opened branches and temporary pharmacies that were frequently closed due to inability to ensure sufficient profit to their owners. The population especially in rural areas have received drugs from practitioners and healers. It has been presented biographical data for the managers of these pharmacies until their nationalization in 1947–49 , and have been illustrated with a lot of photos. Conclusion. The results of this regional study enrich the history of the Pharmacy service in the country.

Komputerowa mikrosymulacja sieci krewniaczej a wzorce współmieszkania: rzecz o demograficznych uwarunkowaniach rodziny chłopskiej w okresie staropolskim

Author(s): Mikołaj Szołtysek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2015

Resuming the threads that appeared in the book recently published Rethinking East-Central Europe: Family Systems and Co-Residence in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Bern et al., Peter Lang, 2015) the author of this article presents the application of a computer micro-simulation of kin sets in the research on the demographic determinants of the structure of the residential family and the patterns of co-residence in the old-Polish era for the first time in the Polish literature. The first part of the article contains a review of the methods concerning the demographic determinants of the structure of the residential family and the patterns of co-habitation, and the essence of the experiment of demographic simulation, as well as some selected examples of its application in historical demography. For some time now this question has been widely discussed abroad (Laslett, Ruggles, Oeppen), but in the Polish literature there is no a single study dealing with that.The second part presents the source basis of the article; it is the database of the nominative censuses of 26,652 peasant households from the territories of the Crown, Lithuania and Ukraine from the end of the 18th century (CEURFAMFORM Database). The methodology of the applied micro-simulation model has also been discussed. A lot of space has been devoted to the question of the choice of outside parameters and the validation of the model, as a way to a better structuralisation of regional research on the old-Polish demography. It would be quite useful if the efforts of researchers might concentrate on fixing the necessary minimum programme for future analyses in microscale family reconstitution, so that their results would have a wider applicability in research of a higher rank (not only the one in which simulation modelling is used), and so that they would satisfy the basic requirements of comparative analysis.The third part deals with the applicability potential of the used methodology to analyse the influence of demographic factors on the co-residence patterns for old-Polish populations taken from the database CEURFAMFORM. The problem has been illustrated by presenting two current questions that are essential for historical demography of the family: the process of leaving the family house and co-habitation of various generations. The analysis shows how the combined impact of fertility, mortality and the generational overlap in their regional configurations, determining the number and category of the relatives in a given population, shaped the dominant patterns of co-habitation in the territories that have been researched. The conclusions should be treated as innovative, yet future investigations might verify that. For the time being they constitute a convenient map that indicates directions for further investigations, both quantitative and qualitative in nature.

Umieralność niemowląt w „polskich” rejencjach Prus na początku XX wieku

Author(s): Dariusz K. Chojecki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2015

The article presents the causes and spatial differences of infant mortality in eastern Prussia densely populated by the Polish, and the changes that phenomenon was subject to. The research has been carried out mainly on the numeric data juxtaposed and published by Dr Behr-Pinnow, on official statistical material (Preußische Statistik, Statistikdes Deutschen Reichs, Veröffentlichungen des Kaiserlichen Gesundheitsamts) and on unpublished archival material, first of all reports of Regierungsbezirk presidents. Infant mortality has been analysed at three levels of data aggregation: provinces, Regierungsbezirke, counties (Kreise). In the research the following devices have been used: coefficients, averaging of several years, (dis)similarity rates of structures (the reference standard – Regierungsbezirk Aurich), weighted linear regression, cartograms (grouping based on median absolute deviation). The article depicts the tendency for infant mortality in the ‘Polish’ Regierungsbezirke of Prussia, which deteriorated at the beginning of the 20th century, and a significant spatial diversification of the phenomenon in question, which was related to the way of farming (especially in the region of Żuławy Wiślane and the Vistula valley); however, the research has not provided any conclusive evidence of a link between a high infant mortality rate in the area in question and the socio-professional structure, the level of affluence or the infrastructure. On the other hand, thanks to linear regression models it has been proved that the intensity of infant mortality in counties depended on the ethnic composition to a significant degree (the faith did notplay any role). Parallel to an increase of the Polish- and Kashubian-speaking populations (those populations – it is worth mentioning – usually enjoyed lower socio-economic status compared to their German-speaking neighbours) the infant mortality rate was generally decreasing. It was at the lowest level in Greater Poland, in the counties of Kościan, Gostyn and Śmigiel (where the dominant population was Polish, Catholic and rural). All in all, it is justified to say that the Polish- and Kashubian-speaking populations that were less advanced in demographic transformation compared to their German-speaking neighbours, even before institutionalising social welfare, provided better care for babies and guaranteed a lower infant mortality rate, first of all thanks to the general and longer breastfeeding.

ТРАКИТЕ В АРМИЯТА НА КИР МЛАДИ

Author(s): Miroslav Izdimirski / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 21/2016

The present article treats the issue of the participation of Thracian mercenaries in the army of Cyrus the Younger. The author has studied all references in Xenophon’s Anabasis, pertaining to the participation of Thracians in the March of the “Ten Thousand”. All that was happening within the context of the inter-dynastic conflict between Artaxerxes II and his brother Cyrus the Younger. The author has also studied the activities of the Spartan military leader and mercenary in the army of Cyrus, Clearchus. Clearchus recruited Thracians for the army of the Persian claimant to the throne at the Thracian Chersonesos and north of that area. An attempt has been made to give a tribal identification of the Thracians taking part in those events. In the battle at Cunaxa on 3 September 401 BC the Thracian troops also took an active part. The author has also studied the main points in the retreat of the “ten thousand” Hellenes and representatives of the Thracian ethnic group from Mesopotamia to the Bosporus, and has analysed coin finds from Northeastern Thrace, comprising Persian coins which might be connected to those events, interpreting them as remuneration for Thracian mercenaries in the army of Cyrus the Younger. The author has made reference to the activity of the Spartan military leader Derkylidas in Western Asia Minor as well.

Archívne dokumenty k výskumu spolkového života v meste Košice v období 1867 – 1914

Author(s): Nikoleta Lattová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2016

In the second half of the 19th century in Hungary there was an enormous increase in the number of associations. While in 1862 there were 579 registered associations, in 1878 it was already 3995. The associations had no duty to keep administration paperwork and agenda. They were acting as independent communes and as a result of this were autonomous written records and administration paperwork. Public authorities had no right to interfere in their own administration records, they just might have consulted them. The way how the written records of each association were kept and preserved for the future generations depended on its individual "conscientious" members. This has resulted in a fact that the researchers who are dealing with the issues of administration record keeping have access mainly to incomplete and fragmentary archive documents. The aim of the article is to present the conditions of the archival historical sources that are related to the research of community life and life in associations in the city of Kosice in 1867 – 1914. The research was conducted in archives and libraries located in the investigated city of Košice, as well as in the same type of institutions in Budapest. Available historical sources particularly include the articles of associations, reports to the police headquarters and own documents and records of associations themselves. These include documents such as speeches, annual reports, reports on general meetings, almanacs, journals, publications published by associations and issues of memorial books published on the occasion of special anniversaries to commemorate the founding of association.

Грамотност на българското духовенство в Македония по примера на Неврокопска епархия (1904–1912): статистически и изворови аспекти

Author(s): Stanislava Stoytcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1-2/2017

The study focuses on an issue that has not yet been investigated in the Bulgarian historiography - the topic of the literacy of the Bulgarian parish priests in Macedonia, and specifically in the largest Nevrokop eparhy, after the Gorna Dzhumaia (1902) and the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie (1903) uprisings and up to the Balkan War (1912). The main points in the historiography, the trends in the archival documents of the Bulgarian Exarchate and the Bulgarian Commercial Agencies (from 1908 consulates), as well as the attitudes of the periodical press from the first decade of the 20th century, published in the Ottoman Empire, are outlined. The topic of the clergy literacy is analyzed on the basis of numerous documents from the archives of the Holy Metropolis of Nevrokop and its subordinate structures, statistics, ecclesiastical and parish registers, etc. The main signs of literacy are considered, which can be traced very well through statistics and documents, such as: basic literacy (reading and writing skills); type and level of education; theological literacy; occupation of the priests before their ordination; reading culture, newspaper subscriptions, and literary work. On this basis, an attempt is made for a social cleavage of the clergy in Pirin Macedonia and in particular in the Nevrokop eparhy.

Vjerski prijelazi s pravoslavne na rimokatoličku i grkokatoličku vjeru u vrijeme Nezavisne Države Hrvatske na području Bjelovarskog dekanata

Author(s): Filip Škiljan / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 10/2016

In the paper, the author gives data on religious conversions from the Orthodox to the Greek-Catholic and the Roman-Catholic religions in the area of the Bjelovar Archdeaconry. Following introductory remarks on the attitude of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Serbian Orthodox Church towards the Roman-Catholic Church, the author gives data on the sufferings of the Serbs and their coercive emigration from the Bjelovar area in 1941. The central part of the text analyses statistical data on religious conversions from the Orthodox to the Roman-Catholic religion between 1941 and 1945, collected from the Archdiocesan Archives in Zagreb, and includes examples of these religious conversions. A special chapter tackles religious conversions from the Orthodox to the Greek-Catholic religion. No accurate data exist about the number of religious conversions. Nevertheless, 2,235 submitted applications in correlation with the number of Orthodox inhabitants witness to the frequency thereof.

Едно изгубено монетно съкровище от тетрадрахми с името на Филип II oт село Елешница, област Благоевград

Author(s): Ilya S. Prokopov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 23/2018

The author makes a reconstruction of one scattered coin hoard. The coins are discovered in the village of Eleshnitsa, Blagoevgrad district. The village is situated on both sides of the Zlataritsa River, a tributary of the Mesta river (anc. Nestus). The coin hoard is homogeneous. It is composed only of tetradrachms with the name of Philip II (359-336).The author analyzes all similar finds from Southwestern Bulgaria. This is the territory of the rivers Struma (anc. Strymon) and Mesta. There are also 6 very similar homogeneous coin hoards: Pelatikovo, Kyustendil district; Dupnitsa, Kyustendil district (IGCH 729); Ranentsi, Kyustendil district (IGCH 821); Kyustendil area; Gospodintsi, Gotse Delchev area (IGCH 819); Ribnovo, Gotse Delchev area (IGCH 820). Of them in the valley of Upper Struma are: Pelatikovo, Kyustendil district; Dupnitsa, Kyustendil district (IGCH 729); Ranentsi, Kyustendil district (IGCH 821); and Kyustendil area. The coin hoard from the village of Eleshnitsa is territorially situated between the finds from Upper Struma and the coin hoards from Gospodintsi, Gotse Delchev area (IGCH 819) and Ribnovo, Gotse Delchev area (IGCH 820). The last two coin hoards are downstream of the Mesta River.In addition to the homogeneous finds, the author commented and the mixed ones, which are found in the north in the region of the town of Pernik and the city of Sofia.The closest parallel of the coin hoards from the village of Eleshnitsa is the coin hoard from the village of Pelatikovo, Kyustendil district. There are 6 tetradrachms from Pelatikovo identical to 5 tetradrachms from Eleshnitsa.The find from the village of Eleshnitsa probably was hidden shortly after 294 BC. It can be assumed it happened at the time of the struggles between Demetrius Poliorcetes and Lysimachos?

БЪЛГАРИТЕ И РАЗПРОСТРАНЕНИЕТО НА ЛЕВИТЕ ИДЕОЛОГИИ В СОЛУН В НАЧАЛОТО НА XX ВЕК

Author(s): Yura Konstantinova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

Thessaloniki, the main city of the European provinces of the Ottoman Empire, due to its strategic location and its multiethnic population, is the centre of the modern ideologies in the first decade of the 20th century. This characteristic distinguished it essentially from the cosmopolitan Ottoman cities along the Asia Minor coast and makes the study of the ideological influences between the different nationalities in it particularly interesting. The Bulgarians had a significant role to play in the political and ideological ebullience that had gripped Thessaloniki during the first decade of the 20th century. They are among the most prominent proponents of the national, socialist and anarchist idea.
