Otto Stobbe und die Rechtsgeschichte der Juden

Author(s): Guido Kisch / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

Hardly any part of the history of the Jews has so far been as neglected as the legal history of the Jews in medieval and modern times. It is a special, however very large scientific area, even an independent science with wide branching, comprising an era of about one and a half millennia, based on both history as well as on law, offering an undreamt-of abundance of legal historical material and historical, legal and sociological problems presents. These aspects have almost entirely eluded, even to the present day, any systematic scientific work, any historical collection, judicial comprehension and sociological lighting. And yet today, less than ever, a particular justification for the importance of this field of research is needed.

Or Sarua als Geschichtsquelle

Author(s): J. Kahan / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

A source not unimportant to the history of the Jews in the Middle Ages are the responses and the decisoric works of the Jewish scholars. It is true that the historical moment in the treatment of the historical substance takes a back seat, because both the questioner and the spender of the ans-wer are concerned with the decision of the ritual law, but the historical core is all the more diffe-rent from the treated law topic. (Comprehensive in the Yearbook of the Society, VIII, B. Suler "Rabbinische Geschichtsquellen p. 27 ff.) In this regard, the work of Rabbi Yitzhak Or Sarua deserves special attention.

Zur Geschichte der Juden in Teltsch

Author(s): Michael Rachmuth / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

The history of the Jewish community in Telč (Moravia), which numbered 93 souls as late as 1921, has not yet been published, with the exception of a few short notes by Beringer and Janousek on the history of the city and the rule of Teltsch (Telč). And yet the history of this small Jewish community provides us with events of general interest. So the otherwise seldom found fact that in 1651 the city purchased from its landlord Wilhelm Count Slawata the establishment of a numerus clausus of only three Jewish families by obliging them to pay a Jewish tax (Židoplat) per 30 fl to be paid to the count's pension in two half-yearly installments. The trial of the brothers Josef and Moses Hesky, who were accused of fraudulent bankruptcy in 1667, is neither without general interest, since a case of magistrate justice against bankrupt Jews, if the believers were Christians, is presented here. Finally, we are also shown that Christian tradespeople repeatedly complained about the competition of the Jewish traders against the competition of Jewish merchants, not only the authorities and the state authorities, but also that the latter in their shops (as in a modern department store) peddle a larger number of different categories of commodities. Also interesting are the reasons which the Teltsch Jews cite for the fact that the Jewish trader does not specialize in a single type of commodity in his trade like the Christian one.

Von den Anfängen des Vereines für Verbesserung des israelitischen Kultus in Böhmen

Author(s): František Roubík / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

On March 25, 1832, the wealthy Prague Jewish merchant Jakob Dormitzer, probably under the influence of a request in the Prague newspaper of March 1 of the same year, which will be discussed further, presented a memorandum to the Prague Gubernial Presidium to carry out the necessary improvements to Jewish customs and conventions, and did not even shy away from the then revolutionary proposal to postpone the Jewish Sabbath holiday to Sunday in order to assimilate the Jews of the Christian population. All the better Jews - Dormitzer argued - would realize that it was necessary to remove from Jewish customs everything that is inappropriate today and has its origins in times of long persecution and contemptuous treatment of the Jews. In grateful remembrance of the fact that the Austrian government was the first in Europe to call the Jews to defend their country, Dormitzer recommended the introduction of Reformed Jewish worship in the Vienna and Pester Muster synagogues and the relocation of the Saturday holiday to Sunday, an amendment whose permissibility and usefulness are allegedly proven by strict orthodox principles. Dormitzer relied in support of his radical proposal on a booklet of Chief Rabbi Aron Chorin from Arad: "The faithful messenger to his fellow religious", of which he enclosed a copy in his memorandum and in which he himself (on page 16) is quoted with his views under the pseudonym Jakob. Of course, Dormitzer's unusual proposal required a thorough consideration by the provincial authorities, who were always very cautious in Jewish matters in order to avoid, in particular, the awakening of religious passions He did not, however, express any concern that the Jewish religious leaders might object to Dormitzer's radical suggestion, and therefore called on the town captain to discuss both the mayor of Prague and the Antra Gierer and some more educated Prague Jews, especially on the question whether the transfer of the Jewish holiday to Sunday according to religious principles was permissible at all.

Der gelbe Fleck in Prag

Author(s): L. Moses / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

Tobias Jakobovits has dedicated an in-depth study of the Jewish badges in Bohemia. (Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Juden…, Vol III., Prag 1931, pp.. 145 ff.) Amongst these badges, the yellow spot ordered by Maria Theresia in 1750 played its defamatory role the longest and only in 1781 did this remnant of a bad time disappear. Jakobovits shows in detail the drudgery that arose the Prague Jews from occasional violations of the ordinance, which was directed primarily against the unmarried Jews, since the married people were already marked by the beards. In addition to the files which he refers to, which relate to the yellow spot, there are also some documents in the Vienna State Archives of the Interior and the Judiciary, which record the facts of some transgressions of this kind and are therefore extensively communicated here as a supplement to the work of Jakobovits.

Японците

Author(s): Bratislav Ivanov / Language(s): Bulgarian

Bratislav Ivanov's new book is dedicated to the values and traditions of the Japanese culture. Already in the early twentieth century, French scientist Henry Dumolard draws attention to the fact that the Japanese people are guided by their logic and draw conclusions that are often incomprehensible to Europeans. To understand the Japanese people, we need to know the values that form the core of their culture. A key to their understanding is the geographical environment, mythology, religion, and Japan's history.

Пътепис

Author(s): Evliya Çelebi / Language(s): Bulgarian

Evliya Celebi was an enlightened man in a variety of ways who believed in equality, freedom of thought and intellectual debate, and found all of these things present in Islamic societies. Over the course of his travels, he wrote ten volumes detailing his adventures. ‘Seyahatname’ – Book of Travels – is a unique and important text, representing one of the few accounts of the 17th century and the Ottoman world from the perspective of a Muslim. These are not just factual accounts, Evliya had a great imagination and just as important as his journal entries were the imaginative storytelling that ran alongside, elaborating, exaggerating, and fantasizing. Through his stories, we are prompted to think more imaginatively about our own travels and journeys to other cities. This 17th-century Muslim traveler can sometimes seem narrow-minded and yet this same man can stand in St Stephens Cathedral in Vienna and be moved by the music he hears. Sometimes these encounters lead to nothing but sometimes they lead to stories which are so deeply felt, and so universally melodic that they leave echoes which can still be heard and felt today. In 2011, the year which would have been his 400th birthday, Evliya is being paid homage as UNESCO’s Man of the Year.

South Slavonic Apocryphal Collections

Author(s): Anisava Miltenova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Old Slavonic,Old Bulgarian

This book represents a study of the textology, typology, sources and literary peculiarities of the so-called ’miscellanies of mixed content' in the South Slavonic tradition (from the end of 13th – the beginning of 18th c.) – less known or unknown in the Humanities. The problem is closely related to the apocryphal collections in the Balkan Cyrillic manuscripts, as the Apocrypha are a significant part of this type of manuscripts. The scope of the study is to popularize the series and texts that fill the gap in the translation and perception of the Slavonic Apocrypha. New information is presented over the sources of translations, as well as the compilation approach of Slavonic writers, which reproduces a new version of the texts. The copies of the Slavonic texts are published in the supplement. The typology of manuscripts is supported by plectograms produced in the Repertory of Old Bulgarian Literature and Letters (http://repertorium.obdurodon.org/).

ADAPTATION OF FAMILIES FORCIBLY DISPLACED UNDER THE ACTION B: THE PAST AND THE PRESENT

Author(s): Jolana Darulová / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The central topic of the paper is Action B which was aimed to implement the Communist idea of changing the social structure of the society and adapting it to the needs of the new regime. Action B was supposed to definitely cleanse towns from enemies, and help to solve the housing problem. It was carried out by means of violent displacement of whole groups of inhabitants from both big and smaller Czech and Slovak towns. Action B was carried out from 1952 to 1953, and formed part of controlled activities in the period of the dictatorship of the proletariat when the foundations of the Communist regime were laid down (1948-1953). “The new regime was bom with the denial, disruption, and liquidation of the principles on which it was built... the destruction of the society entered all fields of social life” (Kaplan 1991: 146). At the same time, it was a period which forced individuals to adapt to the new reality and seek their place in it. According to Babal (2009: 22), “the displacements of people in the post-war period was nothing uncommon in the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (CSR), and were executed back to 1938 (displacement of citizens of Czech nationality shortly after the birth of the Slovak State, or Slovak Republic; later displacement of the Jewish population, and of Germans and Hungarians after the re-birth of the CSR). After the regime change in February 1948, the displacement of persons smoothly followed the previous development, and targeted other groups of inhabitants. We could say that, in a certain way, the population ‘got used’ to displacements executed in the period 1938-1948. It affected farmers, churches (especially the Catholic Church), inhabitants of bordering areas, and others - individuals and their families.”

Interdisciplinarnost u urbanoj povijesti: povijest i perspektive

Author(s): Irena Benyovsky Latin / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Urban history is a relatively new field within historiography that has been intensively developed within the European historiographies during the last decades, embracing interdisciplinary approach (though the interdisciplinarity should be included in all the historiographical investigations, especially in the field of medieval studies). However, methodologies of investigation of (medieval) city, as a quite complex socio-spatial organism in the wider European context, are still in the defining process, especially within the Croatian historiography. Investigation of urban history includes results and methodological patterns of other disciplines such as art history, geography, linguistics, and/or archeology. In the European historiographies one can even notice and trace formation of a methodological approach that is quite specific for the urban history and includes knowledge of certain specialized techniques such as design and creation of informational databases. This contribution reveals some research examples and discusses position of (medieval) urban history in the European and particularly Croatian historiographical realm, methodologies of investigation and types of used primary sources.

Namely, his only son Gabriel Jr., who married Iva Mate Stay in 1595, had not any offsprings. After his death as well as the death of his unmarried brothers Marin, John, Damjan and Anthony in the 1620s, the Evangelisti kindred came to an end.

Crkveno zvono sa sahat-kule u Sanskom Mostu u sjeverozapadnoj Bosni (crkvena zvona sa sahat-kula u Bosanskom ejaletu)

Author(s): Ante Škegro / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

The Ethnology Department of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo stores one bronze church bell, which had been placed on the Ottoman clock-tower in Sanski Most, in northwestern Bosnia. The bell was casted in 1591 by the Venetian church bell manufacturer Zuane Batista de Antonio del Tonis (Joannes Batista de Antonio de Tonis) for some church in the eastern Adriatic region. It was pillaged by the Ottoman troops and placed on the clock tower in Sanski Most. Church bells were striking the clock alla Turca on numerous clock towers in Bosnian Eyalet (Livno in Western Bosnia, Jajce in Central Bosnia, Banja Luka in Northern Bosnia, Zvornik in Northeastern Bosnia, Foča in Eastern Bosnia, Donji Vakuf in West Central Bosnia, Gračanica in Northern Bosnia, Počitelj in Central Herzegovina, Mostar, the capital of Herzegovina, Trebinje in Eastern Herzegovina, Stolac in Eastern Herzegovina). Some of them, like the ones in Prusac near Donji Vakuf or in Gornji Vakuf in West Central Bosnia, still stand on their clock towers.

Dvije propovijedi nadrabina dr. Hosee Jacobija. Prilog povijesti hrvatsko-židovskih odnosa

Author(s): Mato Artuković / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Besides the introductory notes on the position of the Jews and anti-Semitism in Russia, Germany and Hungary, the article deals with two sermons delivered by the Chief Rabbi of Zagreb, Dr Hosea Jacobi, on the celebration of Hanukah in November 1883 and on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his rabbinic ministry in Zagreb on 14 January 1893. Regarding the first sermon, particularly interesting are the impressions overwhelming him while, for the first time, preaching in the synagogue in Croatian language. In the second sermon, he emphasized that Croatia is an example of a country in which Jews live peacefully and may develop their cultural, economic and religious potentials, in which they are spared of anti-Semitic assaults and hatred, to which they are exposed in many other countries. Both sermons are important as sources for the research of Croato-Jewish relations in the nineteenth century.
